Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base

Designed to deliver the same superior cable management capabilities as Middle Atlantic’s standard riser bases, the Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base stands ready for use in areas of high seismic activity. Part of the SRB Series, this seismic-certified riser base is engineered to endure the demanding conditions of Zone 4 and Seismic Design Category (SDC) D environments while keeping cables neatly organized, protected, and easy to access. If you’re equipping data centers, broadcast facilities, or AV installations in regions with elevated seismic risk, this 1 bay riser base provides a reliable, code-compliant solution that integrates seamlessly with existing Middle Atlantic rack systems. It combines robust construction with precise cable management, helping you maintain performance, reduce downtime, and simplify maintenance in challenging settings.

• Seismic-certified for high-risk environments: Zone 4 and Seismic Design Category (SDC) D capabilities are built into the SRB Series, providing enhanced protection for cables and connections during seismic events. This base has undergone rigorous testing to satisfy relevant codes and standards, giving you confidence that your cable infrastructure remains organized and intact when it matters most.
• 1 bay capacity, identical cable management to standard riser bases: The 1 Bay Riser Base delivers the same thoughtful cable routing, strain relief, and clean layout you rely on from Middle Atlantic’s riser bases, but optimized for seismic resilience. It accommodates a single bay’s worth of cables, enabling tidy organization without compromising accessibility or serviceability during maintenance or upgrades.
• Durable, purpose-built SRB Series construction: Integrating seamlessly with other SRB components, this riser base is designed to withstand the rigors of demanding environments. The rugged design provides reliable performance under load, with careful attention to cable pathways that reduce wear and interference while keeping pathways clear for airflow and heat management around sensitive equipment.
• Versatile for application across data centers, broadcast facilities, and corporate AV rooms: Whether you’re routing power, data, or control cabling, the 1 Bay Riser Base supports organized cabling in elevated-risk zones. Its compatibility with Middle Atlantic rack systems makes it an ideal upgrade for facilities that must meet seismic safety requirements without sacrificing efficiency or aesthetics.
• Easy integration and maintenance, with design that supports scalable growth: The unit’s design accommodates evolving cable needs as facilities expand. It remains straightforward to install alongside other riser components, and its managed pathways help technicians quickly identify routes, minimize downtime, and perform routine inspections with minimal disruption.
