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. Fur-
thermore, 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 provided 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 compo-
nents 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 difference from being obvious.
