4 RU Forward Tool-Less Vent Panel, 74% Open Area
4 RU tool-less vent panel with 74% open area for BGR Series enclosures
The Middle Atlantic FWD-VT4 is a 4 RU vent panel designed to accelerate rack assembly by eliminating the need for traditional rack screws. This forward-vented panel uses spring-loaded ergonomic clips to secure itself directly into a Forward rackrail, making the installation process up to 5X faster than hardware-dependent alternatives. The flanged steel construction features a black powder coat finish and a sleek venting pattern that provides 74% open area for optimal airflow. This panel is fully compatible with all BGR Series enclosures and specifically requires the use of Forward rackrails for the tool-less mechanism to function. By using these installation time savers, integrators can quickly manage thermal loads in a rack without the manual effort of mounting individual screws.
