Middle Atlantic RIB-1-DRK-42 Riser Base

Designed to streamline installation workflows and improve cable management for professional AV and IT rack rooms, the Middle Atlantic RIB-1-DRK-42 Riser Base is a key component of the Raised Floor Enclosure System. Standing 2-1/2 inches high, these riser bases create a ready-made scaffolding for field rough-ins before the racks and enclosures arrive on site. This approach saves time by letting installers prototype and route critical connections in advance, while preserving exact alignment and cable paths for final installation. In multi-bay configurations, the RIB-1-DRK-42 also serves as a dedicated lower cable chase, enabling clean, organized cable transitions between neighboring racks without disturbing the working floor or compromising airflow. By elevating the floor and creating accessible channels, these riser bases help maintain proper clearance, simplify strain relief, and reduce the risk of damage to cables during later stages of deployment. For integrators and installers focused on professional reliability, this simple, scalable solution translates to fewer surprises, faster commissioning, and a neater overall system presentation that stands up to rigorous daily use.

  • Timesaving and practical — with the Raised Floor Enclosure System riser bases, you can perform field rough-in procedures before the racks and enclosures arrive, dramatically reducing on-site labor and scheduling conflicts. The 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) rise gives you clear access to cable pathways, power drops, and data runs, letting installers lay out routes, test terminations, and confirm clearances in advance. This proactive approach minimizes back-and-forth in tight data-center or AV equipment rooms, accelerates commissioning, and helps ensure that when the main racks go in, everything lines up precisely. By front-loading the rough-in work, you can avoid costly rework and enjoy a smoother installation timeline, especially in multi-bay or space-constrained environments.
  • Lower cable chase for multi-bay installations — a key feature of the Raised Floor Enclosure System is the built-in cable chase that runs beneath the floor between bays. The RIB-1-DRK-42 creates a dedicated conduit for passing power, data, and interconnect cables between adjacent racks without compromising airflow or rack clearance. This design keeps cables organized, reduces clutter, and simplifies future maintenance. For integrators, the ability to route and label cables in a shared path helps meet code requirements and industry best practices for professional AV and IT deployments, while preserving easy access for service and upgrades.
  • Modular, scalable design for multi-bay deployments — as networks and AV systems expand, the 2-1/2" riser bases provide a repeatable foundation that aligns with Middle Atlantic's Raised Floor Enclosure System. The consistent height supports predictable cable routes and uniform rack spacing across multiple bays, making it easier to scale as equipment grows. The RIB-1-DRK-42 is engineered to endure routine service and reconfigurations, helping you maintain a clean, professional install even as devices are added, swapped, or re-racked over time. This modularity is particularly valuable for facilities that anticipate future expansion or reconfiguration while maintaining a cohesive system footprint.
  • Seamless integration with Middle Atlantic infrastructure — designed as part of the Raised Floor Enclosure System, these riser bases integrate seamlessly with Middle Atlantic enclosures and racks, ensuring that mounting footprints and cable paths stay aligned. The compact 2-1/2" rise balances access with stability, providing a solid base that supports equipment and accessories without creating trip hazards or interfering with ventilation. This integration helps installers deliver a polished, professional result that matches other components in the system for consistent aesthetics and performance across the room or data center.
  • Enhanced workflow safety and maintenance readiness — elevating the floor with dedicated riser bases reduces the risk of cable damage during installation and future moves. With a clear path for servicing cables, technicians can avoid bending or pulling conductors in tight spaces, improving reliability and safety. The lower cable chase minimizes cable exposure to foot traffic and equipment movement, helping to protect investments and keep data and power pathways compliant with industry standards. The result is a safer, more maintainable installation that remains accessible for routine inspections and upgrades.

Dont wait! Assemble right away! Just in case you need to return it.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Ok, I like the idea of this but the assembly is frustrating. One side lined up perfectly with the holes however, the small bars that connect the screen to base is not lining up. I think it's do the fabric the screen or divider is made of. It's not stretchy. I brought this months ago and just opened it today. I'm upset and don't even think returning it is possible. If the material was a bit longer or stretchy to give a little room to work with this divider would be great. However, I'm not sure what I can use it for since I'm unable to attach it to the bottom. Beware! Don't wait like me. Tip for the manufacturer. Next time invest in Velcro dividers so the fabric can be adjusted with ease. Literally if I take the screen off the frame aligns perfectly. However, it defeats its purpose of privacy. I might buy some material myself and create a more flexible divider. Or I'll buy Velcro myself and attach to the bottom. I don't know yet.

Great Product that does exactly what it says it will.
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
I really enjoy this product and it does exactly what it describes. I use it on my balcony. It is effective, but still very lightweight. It is easy to assemble as well. The price point is excellent. Also, I had an interaction with the company about an issue and they were incredibly responsive and helpful, fixing the issue immediately. Highly recommend.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.

Great Room divider
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Works well in separating my kids play area from my computer/office room. Easy to put together, height is perfect somewhat sturdy, looks great, light weight, not good if you are using it as a door, but if it is to stay in place than it is stable enough.
