Middle Atlantic APV-6 - 6RU Hinged Vented Steel Rack Panel with 17-Percent Open Area in Black Finish

The Middle Atlantic APV-6 is a 6RU Hinged Vented Steel Rack Panel designed to provide convenient and secure access to the interiors of rack enclosures. With a 17% open area, this panel facilitates essential airflow while maintaining the protection of your rack-mounted equipment, making it an ideal choice for installations where both accessibility and ventilation are critical.

Constructed from durable 13-gauge steel, the APV-6 is built to withstand the demands of professional environments. The steel material is not only robust but also easily machinable, allowing for modifications and customizations as needed to fit specific installation requirements. The panel is finished in a sleek black powder coat, which enhances its durability and resistance to wear, while also providing a professional appearance that complements any rack setup.

The hinged design of the APV-6 is one of its most notable features. Hinged on one side, this panel allows for quick and easy access to the interior of the rack, making it ideal for situations where frequent adjustments, maintenance, or access to rear connectors is required. This design eliminates the need to remove the panel entirely, saving time and reducing the risk of misplacing components during servicing.

To ensure ease of use, the APV-6 is equipped with captive 10-36 threaded thumbscrews. These thumbscrews are designed to remain attached to the panel, preventing them from getting lost and eliminating the need for additional tools during access. The threaded design ensures a secure fit, keeping the panel firmly in place when closed, while allowing for effortless opening when needed.

The vented design of the APV-6, with a 17% open area, provides the perfect balance between airflow and protection. The vents allow for sufficient ventilation, helping to maintain the proper temperature inside the rack by promoting air circulation. This is especially important in environments where heat buildup could potentially harm sensitive equipment. At the same time, the vented panel helps prevent accidental contact with internal components, offering an additional layer of safety.
