Welded Rack 18.5 inch Deep, 35RU

Ideal Use Cases

The AtlasIED 235-18 welded rack is designed for equipment installations requiring 35 rack units within an 18.5-inch-deep cabinet. Its 17-inch usable depth makes it appropriate when the installed equipment and associated connections fit within that space. The cabinet measures 65 1/2 inches high and 22 5/16 inches wide, giving planners concrete dimensions for evaluating available floor space and equipment capacity.

This model is particularly suited to projects that need an economical, enclosed equipment cabinet rather than an open rack. Included side panels, a top panel, a base, mounting rails, and a removable locking rear door provide the core cabinet components in one configuration. Before selection, verify each component’s rack-unit requirement and depth against the cabinet’s 35RU capacity and 17-inch usable depth.

Why Choose This Model

The 235-18 combines welded construction with a practical 35RU format. Its cabinet is constructed from 16-gauge CRS, while the supplied mounting rails establish the internal mounting structure for compatible rack equipment. The removable rear door includes a lock, supporting controlled access to the back of the installed equipment while allowing the door to be removed when installation or service requires unobstructed access.

• 35RU of available rack space
• 18 1/2-inch overall cabinet depth
• 17-inch usable equipment depth
• Welded 16-gauge CRS construction
• Removable locking rear door
• Base, top panel, side panels, and mounting rails included

The supplied product imagery shows the rack with an optional front door. The source description identifies the removable locking rear door as included but does not identify a front door as part of the standard cabinet configuration.

Installation and Integration

Installation planning should begin with the complete external dimensions: 65 1/2 inches high, 22 5/16 inches wide, and 18 1/2 inches deep. In metric measurements, the cabinet is 166.37 cm high, 56.67 cm wide, and 46.99 cm deep. These dimensions should be checked against the intended placement area, including the space needed to reach the rear of the cabinet.

Equipment depth must be evaluated using the 17-inch usable-depth specification rather than the cabinet’s 18 1/2-inch external depth. The included mounting rails provide the mounting interface inside the cabinet. The removable rear door can be taken off for access during equipment placement and integration, then reinstalled and locked as required. The source does not specify casters, installation hardware, cable-management accessories, or a front door as included items.

Performance Highlights

The defining performance characteristics of this cabinet are its equipment capacity, material construction, and access configuration. Thirty-five rack units accommodate a substantial vertical equipment arrangement, while the 16-gauge CRS cabinet provides the stated structural format. Side panels, a top panel, and a base form the enclosure around the mounting area.

The rear access arrangement is especially practical for integration and service. Because the locking rear door is removable, installers can gain clear access to connections without treating the door as a permanent obstruction. Once installed, the door can be returned to the cabinet and locked. The product is also identified with a safety-listing value of 1678.

What Makes It Different

The 235-18 is defined by the balance between its 35RU height and comparatively limited 18 1/2-inch external depth. That combination is useful when an installation needs significant vertical rack capacity but the equipment itself can remain within 17 inches of usable depth. Publishing both overall and usable depth removes ambiguity when comparing the cabinet’s footprint with the dimensions of prospective equipment.

Its included enclosure components also distinguish it from a basic rail-only frame. The base, top panel, side panels, mounting rails, and removable locking rear door are all identified in the source description. This creates a clearly specified cabinet package without implying that the optional front door or the separate accessories pictured in the gallery are included.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED 235-18 is a focused choice for a 35RU equipment installation that fits within 17 inches of usable depth. Its welded 16-gauge CRS construction, included panels and mounting rails, and removable locking rear door address the essential requirements of an enclosed rack cabinet. The exact dimensions make placement and compatibility checks straightforward, while the 60-month warranty from the date of purchase adds a clearly defined coverage period. Confirm equipment depth and any separately required front-access or mobility accessories before completing the installation plan.
