Fairfield, NJ––Middle Atlantic Products is introducing new models and options for their ready-to-assemble equipment rack lineup. These racks are ideal for smaller fixed and movable installations that are visible within the work setting such as video suites and conference rooms.

Two new depths have been added, bringing the depth range from 16� all the way to 28�, with heights from 2 to 28 rackspaces. The deeper models include rear rackrail for convenient four-point equipment mounting or for attaching cable management items.
