2 RU Rack Vent Panel, Hinged
2 RU vented rack panel with a hinged design for rapid interior access and 17% open area for airflow
The APV-2 is a 2 RU vented rack panel designed to provide efficient airflow while preventing accidental contact with internal components.

The hinged design allows installers to quickly access the rear of connector panels or other rack-mounted equipment without removing the panel entirely. This model features two mounting points and utilizes captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews, which allow for tool-free operation and prevent hardware from being lost inside the rack.
