Middle Atlantic Riser Base, 2 Bay, 38"D, BGR Racks

Designed for professional AV and IT installations, the Middle Atlantic Riser Base provides a robust, time-saving foundation for rough-in rack projects in 2-bay BGR rack configurations. With a generous 38-inch depth, a compact 2-1/2-inch base height, and a heavy-duty welded construction finished in black powder coat, this riser base delivers reliable support, clean cable routing, and resilient performance in demanding environments. It is specifically engineered to simplify installations, improve airflow, and keep cables neatly organized underneath the rack, so technicians can focus on performance rather than workflow hurdles.

• Timesaving and practical system to rough-in rack installations: The riser base is designed to streamline wiring paths and simplify early-stage rack work, reducing on-site time and minimizing rework as systems evolve.
• 2-1/2" high bases aligned with standard rack heights: The compact base height ensures consistent alignment with other components in a 2-bay BGR rack setup, delivering a clean, professional look from front to back.
• 38" deep platform for ample space: At 38 inches of depth, the base accommodates deep equipment, rear cabling, and generous airflow clearance, supporting a wide range of gear and configurations.
• Heavy-duty welded construction with black powder coat finish: Built to withstand busy production environments, the welded steel construction and durable finish resist impact, wear, and corrosion while maintaining a sleek appearance.
• Under-rack cable management: The design allows cables to pass underneath the base, keeping the front of the rack uncluttered and simplifying labeling, testing, and maintenance tasks.

How to Install Middle Atlantic Riser Base

• Prepare the workspace and verify compatibility with your 2-bay BGR rack system. Ensure there is sufficient floor clearance and room for cable routing beneath the base.
• Position the riser base in the desired location, aligning with the rack’s footprint and mounting interface. Confirm that the base sits level and stable before proceeding.
• Secure the base according to the rack configuration and manufacturer guidelines. Use appropriate fasteners or mounting points if required by your installation plan.
• Route cables underneath the base, organizing power, video, and data lines to minimize interference and maximize airflow. Label cables for easy future maintenance.
• Install equipment on the rack above the riser base and perform a system check to ensure proper clearance, cooling, and accessibility. Revisit cable management if additional equipment is added or rearranged.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the primary purpose of a riser base in a rack system?

  A: A riser base provides a stable foundation that raises the rack to standard heights while enabling under-rack cable routing. This improves organization, airflow, and accessibility for future upgrades or maintenance.

• Q: Is this riser base compatible with other rack types beyond 2-Bay BGR configurations?

  A: The design is specified for 2-Bay BGR racks. For other rack formats, verify compatibility with your specific Middle Atlantic models or consult product documentation before mounting.

• Q: Can cables pass underneath the base during installation?

  A: Yes. The riser base is designed to accommodate under-rack cabling, helping to keep the front of the rack clear and organized while maintaining easy access to connections behind the equipment.

• Q: What benefits does the 38" depth offer?

  A: The 38" depth provides ample space for deep equipment, generous rear cabling, and improved airflow, enabling more flexible configurations and cleaner cable management for professional AV and IT deployments.

• Q: What finish and construction materials are used?

  A: The riser base uses heavy-duty welded steel with a black powder coat finish, offering durability, resistance to wear, and a professional appearance suitable for demanding environments.
