6 RU Blank Rack Panel, Hinged
6 RU hinged access panel in black aluminum, providing quick interior access via captive thumbscrews
The Middle Atlantic AP-6 is a 6 RU blank rack panel designed to provide rapid access to the interior of a rack. This hinged access panel is constructed from 13-gauge aluminum with a flat black powder coat finish, making the material easy to machine for custom requirements. This style is specifically intended for installations where technicians need to reach the rear of connector panels without fully unmounting equipment. For ease of use during service, the panel features a hinged design on one side and utilizes captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews. These thumbscrews allow for tool-free opening and are designed to remain attached to the panel so they do not get lost during maintenance.
