Designed for professional AV, broadcast, and data environments, the Middle Atlantic ERK-44-F-EXT3 Rack Front Extension Frame adds essential depth and flexibility to your 44U rack. This rugged, black steel extension is built to endure daily use while preserving the door aesthetics and security you rely on. By adding 3 inches of usable depth to the front of the rack, it improves cable routing, front-access clearance, and overall management of hardware like power distribution units, patch panels, and front-facing equipment. Compatible with existing doors that can be reused, the ERK-44-F-EXT3 is an efficient solution for increasing rack capacity without sacrificing performance or security.

  • 3" depth gain for front of rack: Adds substantial usable space to the front, greatly improving cable management, front-accessibility, and accommodating larger front-mounted devices while preserving clearances for rear cabling and airflow. This depth extension helps you organize power, data, and signal lines more effectively and reduces tangling during service or swaps.
  • 44U rack height compatibility: Specifically designed for standard 44U rack configurations, ensuring seamless integration with common rack rails and mounting patterns. The extension frame aligns with existing hardware, maintaining structural integrity and consistent alignment with doors, panels, and the front bezel for a clean, professional look.
  • Stackable for additional depth: When you need even more room, ERK-44-F-EXT3 can be stacked or paired with additional extensions to reach greater depths, enabling highly customized installations in studios, control rooms, or data centers. This modular approach supports evolving gear needs without replacing the entire rack enclosure.
  • Electrical and cable pass-through knockouts: Includes thoughtfully placed knockouts to support clean electrical and cable routing. These pass-through features reduce strain on cables and improve organization, making it easier to route power, data, and video cables from front to back while maintaining safety and compliance.
  • Door-compatible and reuse-friendly: Designed to work with existing doors, allowing you to reuse door hardware when upgrading or expanding your rack. This preserves the visual consistency of the enclosure, minimizes downtime, and simplifies installation by leveraging established door mounting and alignment.

how to install Middle Atlantic ERK-44-F-EXT3

  • Prepare the rack: Confirm your enclosure is a 44U rack and identify the location where the front extension will attach. Inspect the rails and door mounting areas to ensure alignment with the existing hardware.
  • Remove or prepare doors: If desired, detach the front doors or have them ready to reuse with the extension frame. Keep any mounting screws and hardware in a labeled container for easy reassembly.
  • Align the extension frame: Position the ERK-44-F-EXT3 so that mounting points line up with the rack posts. Verify that the 3" depth extension will clear any front-mounted devices and that the door frame will still align with the enclosure opening.
  • Secure mounting: Fasten the extension frame to the rack using the pre-drilled mounting points and appropriate hardware. Ensure all fasteners are tightened evenly to maintain frame rigidity and to support the added weight of front equipment.
  • Install knockouts and route cables: Use the provided electrical and cable pass-through knockouts to guide power, data, and signal cables. Plan routes to minimize cable tension and to maintain orderly bundles, leaving adequate slack for serviceability.
  • Reinstall doors or finalize enclosure: Reattach existing doors if you removed them, or adjust the door mounting to accommodate the new depth. Check that the doors align cleanly with the frame and that there is no interference with cables or equipment.
  • Load equipment and test: Begin with smaller front-mounted devices to confirm fit and clearance, then gradually add gear up to the 44U capacity. Power up the rack and test for proper airflow, cable organization, and access to front controls and rear connections.

Works well
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Coal Black
i bought this for 3 reasons. 1. Privacy when changing so I don't have to lock dog out of room. 2. In case MIL comes over and wants to snoop. She won't be able to see my bedroom. 3. A nice backdrop to use when taking photos of the clothing I make. This is perfect for me. My only "complaint" is that it is not the most sturdy thing. I have to finagle it in a way that keeps it from falling over. But for the price, it can't be beat!

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.

Great! This surge protector is well designed and built for specific needs.
Nice surge protector/power strip. Good layout of outlets and the one spaced apart is really good. I also love the fact it comes with not two or three USB outlets, but four of them! This is great because there is plenty of room to plug in other devices. The tiny led lights are very small but do light up enough to see that the device is on. The on/off switch works great too and was a must have for my setup. 5 ft of cord length is just what I needed to mount the strip on the wall. (Install screws included) The flat angled plug for the wall is also just what I needed so the design here is perfect. A great value!

All The Right Features, and Well-Made
This power strip had everything I was looking for: 6 ft. cord, right-angle plug, at least 2 USB ports, white plastic case, wall-mountable, and at least 4 AC power outlets. All of that might sound pretty straightforward, but this TROND power strip is one of the very few models that meets all the criteria. Here's what I like about power strips in general, and this TROND model specifically: 1. Right-angle plug. A must in my book. Get a right-angle plug whenever possible. They are almost always more convenient and better-looking than straight standard plugs. 2. At least 1 transformer-spaced outlet. If the AC outlets are all too close together, you'll end up sacrificing 1 or 2 of them with a "wall wart" transformer. Just about everybody is plugging in at least one of these outlet-hogging transformers these days. 3. USB power ports. Like transformers, just about everybody has USB-powered stuff to plug in. If you don't have USB ports built into the power strip, then you have to use the USB power adapter which hogs up an AC outlet. I've got at least 2 USB devices to plug into this power strip at any given time, so having the built-in ports is very convenient. Another must in my book. I also like this TROND model for the little touches that make it a bigger value than the price suggests: 1. Includes mounting screws. What? Wasn't expecting that. Very cool. 2. Includes a template for drilling the mounting holes. What? I've never even seen that before. Even cooler. 3. An actual user's manual - in English - and well-written. That blew me away. I totally don't need a user's manual for a power strip, but it was very classy to see it in the box. Well played, TROND. 4. Expensive-looking power switch and power light. This power strip is much better looking than other cheap strips. The plastic is high-quality and "Apple" looking, the power switch is a cut above the generic switches in this price range, and the power indicator light a slick hidden LED that makes the whole package feel high-end. I have expensive power strips from Monster, Belkin, and Tripp-Lite, and this TROND unit appears better made and has fancier features. I'll definitely buy another TROND power strip when the time comes.
