The RFR Reference Series from Middle Atlantic represents the pinnacle of professional rack design, marrying elegant aesthetics with rock-solid reliability. Built for demanding integration environments—from broadcast studios and control rooms to corporate AV spaces and data-center edge deployments—this 16RU furniture rack delivers a refined, durable platform that supports critical equipment with confidence. The wide body design, coupled with robust internal engineering, ensures long-term stability, streamlined serviceability, and optimized passive cooling—so your gear stays cooler and operation stays quieter without relying on heavy active cooling. The 28.3-inch depth and 27.3-inch width accommodate a broad range of 19-inch equipment, including power distribution, AV processors, amplifiers, patch panels, and network devices, while offering generous space for cable management and future expansion. A focus on professional integration means clean lines, precise fabrication, and a finish that resists everyday wear in busy environments, from busy studios to executive suites. The rack’s 350-pound weight capacity provides ample headroom for mixed equipment loads, enabling you to scale configurations without compromising structural integrity. Mobility is thoughtfully engineered into the design via bolt-through casters, allowing easy repositioning for reconfigurations or staging areas while preserving stability when parked. The result is a furniture rack that looks native in premium environments and performs reliably under the most demanding workloads—combining form, function, and a level of craftsmanship that speaks to discerning installers and operators alike.
- Premium 16U, wide-body footprint designed for high-density equipment installs while preserving air flow; optimized for passive cooling to reduce heat buildup and energy use without relying on loud or costly active cooling solutions.
- Robust construction with a welded steel frame, internal steel bracing, and a durable powder-coated finish; built to withstand years of daily use in busy studios, control rooms, and AV suites while resisting scuffs and corrosion.
- Mobility and stability engineered into the core design; bolt-through casters provide smooth relocation when configurations change, and locking mechanisms secure the rack firmly in place for safe operation during maintenance or service.
- Professional integration ready; designed to accommodate standard 19-inch equipment rails and common rack-mount accessories, with well-planned cable management pathways that support tidy, efficient installs and future reconfiguration.
- Versatile applications across AV, IT, and broadcast workflows; ideal for mounting mixers, amplifiers, power distribution units, patch panels, network switches, and other essential gear in a single, organized platform.
