4 RU hinged vented rack panel for easy interior access and improved airflow, finished in black powder coat
The Middle Atlantic APV-4 is a 4 RU vented rack panel designed to facilitate rapid access to the rear of connector panels within a rack. Constructed from 13-gauge steel that is easily machinable, this hinged panel allows for continuous airflow through its 17% vent open area while simultaneously preventing accidental contact with internal components. The APV-4 features a hinged design on one side for efficient servicing and utilizes captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews to secure the panel.
