• Pre-configured for AV success: The BGR Series 45RU rack ships with Forward accessories and essential thermal management and cable management features. This means a faster, cleaner install and a system designed to maintain optimal temperatures and tidy cabling without waiting for separate add-ons.
• Impressive capacity in a 32" footprint: With 45U of rack space and a four-post floor-standing design, you gain substantial mounting room for a complete AV stack—panels, matrix switches, amplifiers, media servers, PDU modules, and more—while preserving service access to rear cabling for easy upgrades.
• Deep, adaptable for larger gear: The 32-inch depth accommodates deeper components, long rear cabling runs, power strips, and backplane devices, all while allowing proper airflow and minimized heat buildup around critical equipment.
• Rear-door convenience and secure access: A rear-door configuration simplifies cable runs, maintenance, and audits. The design keeps cords organized and protected, reducing the risk of accidental disconnections while technicians access gear from the rear for service or swaps.
• Durable build with modular potential: Constructed from rugged steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the BGR rack stands up to demanding environments. Its modular approach supports compatibility with additional accessories and configurations as your AV system evolves.
