IED 2x2 Ceiling Mount Rack with 2RU, Standard width, AmbiTILT Shelf

The AtlasIED CR222-NR is a concealed drop-tile ceiling rack for standard 19-inch equipment. Its 2-foot by 2-foot footprint and 2RU internal capacity provide a compact ceiling-mounted equipment location. The model combines an AmbiTILT shelf with AC power while defining critical selection limits: 18.21 inches (463 mm) of usable depth, a 20 lb (9.09 kg) maximum shelf load per RU, and a maximum gross weight of 68.5 lb (31.14 kg).

Ideal Use Cases

This model is suited to projects that call for a concealed rack in a 2-foot by 2-foot drop-tile ceiling position and use standard 19-inch components. Its 2RU capacity is appropriate when the complete equipment set fits within two rack units rather than requiring a larger rack. The usable-depth figure gives system designers a concrete limit for checking chassis fit. It is also a practical candidate when AC power is required at the rack location and an AmbiTILT shelf is part of the desired configuration. Equipment dimensions and weights should be checked against the published limits before selection.

Why Choose This Model

The CR222-NR brings the key enclosure elements into one defined model: a concealed ceiling-rack format, 2RU of standard 19-inch space, an AmbiTILT shelf, and AC power. Its external dimensions support coordination with the planned ceiling position, while the published load data provides clear equipment limits. Each RU has a maximum shelf load of 20 lb (9.09 kg), while the complete rack has a separate maximum gross-weight limit of 68.5 lb (31.14 kg). Treating those ratings separately helps keep both the individual shelf position and total installed assembly within specification.

Installation and Integration

The rack measures 6.74 inches high by 23.69 inches wide by 23.67 inches deep (171 x 602 x 601 mm). Its stated 2-foot by 2-foot footprint should be coordinated with the drop-tile ceiling location. For equipment planning, use the 18.21-inch (463 mm) usable depth rather than the 23.67-inch exterior depth, since the two values describe different physical constraints. The rack weighs 28.5 lb (12.95 kg), so installed equipment weight must be considered alongside the 68.5 lb maximum gross weight. The supplied data identifies AC power but does not specify voltage, outlet count, connector type, or power consumption. Those electrical details should not be assumed during system coordination. Shipping weight is listed as TBD.

Performance Highlights

As a physical equipment rack, the CR222-NR is defined by capacity, fit, and load ratings. It provides 2RU of internal space for standard 19-inch equipment, 18.21 inches of usable depth, and a 20 lb maximum shelf load per RU. The published rack weight is 28.5 lb, and maximum gross weight is 68.5 lb. Dimensions are supplied in both imperial and metric units, allowing direct comparison with equipment specifications and ceiling plans. No projection, image, lens, gaming, network, audio-processing, operating-temperature, or power-consumption specifications are provided for this product, so none should be inferred.

What Makes It Different

What distinguishes this model is the combination described in its product data: a concealed 2-foot by 2-foot ceiling-rack format, 2RU standard-width accommodation, an AmbiTILT shelf, and AC power. The product is not represented only by a nominal rack-unit count; exterior dimensions, usable depth, product weight, per-RU shelf load, and overall gross-weight limit are all stated. This dimensional and load information makes it possible to evaluate compatibility against the actual equipment package. The 60-month warranty from the date of purchase also provides a clearly defined coverage period.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED CR222-NR is a focused choice for a two-rack-unit, standard 19-inch equipment package intended for a concealed drop-tile ceiling location. Its value lies in the documented 2-foot by 2-foot footprint, AmbiTILT shelf, AC power, and precise depth and load boundaries. Before ordering, verify that each component fits within the 18.21-inch usable depth, shelf loading remains at or below 20 lb per RU, and the completed installation remains within the 68.5 lb maximum gross weight. Electrical particulars absent from the source data should be confirmed separately. The specified warranty is 60 months from the purchase date.
