About the Middle Atlantic D3 3SP Anodized Heavy Duty Drawer
The Middle Atlantic D3 3SP is a heavy-duty, three-space (3U) rack drawer designed for organizing and securing equipment within a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This drawer is constructed from high-strength, anodized aluminum, providing a durable and lightweight solution for storing tools, test equipment, media players, control panels, or other accessories that need to be accessible but protected. The anodized finish not only enhances the drawer's appearance, giving it a professional, clean look that matches high-end AV and IT installations, but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance. The drawer features full-extension ball-bearing slides, allowing it to open smoothly and completely, providing full access to the entire interior depth, which is crucial for retrieving items stored at the back.
The design incorporates thoughtful details for professional use. It includes a positive latch mechanism to keep the drawer securely closed during transport or in vibrating environments, preventing accidental opening. The interior is typically lined with a non-abrasive material to protect sensitive equipment from scratches. Some models may feature dividers or mounting options for custom organization. The drawer face is blank and flat, often ready for labeling or the application of custom graphics to match the rack's aesthetic or to indicate its contents. Its three-rack-unit height provides substantial storage capacity without occupying excessive vertical space in the rack, making it an efficient choice for mobile production racks, fixed installation equipment closets, or server rooms where space is at a premium.
Installation is straightforward, with the drawer designed to mount on standard 19-inch rack rails using included hardware. The robust construction ensures it can support a significant load without sagging or binding, even when fully extended. The Middle Atlantic D3 3SP Heavy Duty Drawer exemplifies a focus on quality, durability, and organization, providing a reliable and accessible storage solution that helps maintain a neat, professional, and efficient equipment rack environment.
