Rack Rail & Hardware and
Rack Mounting Source Components.
ADA makes available to dealers, custom cut rack rail
sections and rack hardware. Unlike most rack rail avail-
able, ADA Rack Rail is 4.5" deep, capable of mounting
inside the cabinet, not just along the front edge, but firmly
against a larger section of the cabinet's wall. Further-
more, ADA's Rack Rail is not pre-threaded, but rather,
has holes spaced at EIA Rack Mount Standard intervals
for rack nuts which clip onto the rack rail. Thus, if a hole
is stripped, the stripped rack nut clip can be removed and
a new one can be inserted in its place. Furthermore, the
clip-on rack nuts provide some play, permitting you to adjust the component as it is inserted into
the rack. ADA provides the rack nuts, rack screws, and rack washers by the dozen and rack
rail by linear inch. Please note, if your rack height is 21 inches tall, you will need to order two
21 inch rack rails for a total of 42 inches of rack rail.
If you wish to provide the same 1/8" thick qaulity plate finish for sources (and other non-ADA
components), complete with rack handles (some units cannot be rack mounted with handles),
ADA can custom rack mount source components to match the look of the ADA rack of
equipment. These surround plates are custom cut to a component's dimensions and are
mounted to the plate itself, permitting easy installation into the rack using the functional rack
handles to position the component into place. Unlike other rack plate manufacturers,
components rack mounted by ADA are completely mounted to the plate and do not just sit on
a shelf and slide through an opening. Also, because the plate is custom cut to the specific
source component, the fit is much tighter than plates pro-
vided by other manufactures. To properly manufacture and
mount the non-ADA components, ADA will require the
sources in-house for a period of two to four weeks. As with
all ADA components, custom rack plates for non-ADA com-
ponents can also be made in Brass, Chrome, and Black
Chrome.
When combining ADA components and other components
(such as sources) which are racked in another manufacturer's
rack plate, ADA recommends you allow a space between the
other rack plates and the ADA components. This space can
be small and could be filled with a piece of wood from the
cabinet, providing a separation between the two types of
plates. Even though another manufacturer's rack plates and
ADA plates are both black anodized, there are usually
definite differences in plate finish and thickness which may
be noticeable. The cabinet separation will limit these differ-
ence from being obvious.
