Middle Atlantic BSPN-45-38 Side Panel for 45RU 38in Deep BGR Racks

The BSPN-45-38 is a purpose-built pair of side panels engineered to fit the Middle Atlantic BGR Series racks configured for 45RU at a 38-inch depth. Designed for professional environments—from recording studios and post-production suites to data centers and broadcast facilities—these panels deliver a clean, cohesive look while providing dependable protection and structure for your valuable equipment. Built to complement the rugged reliability of Middle Atlantic racks, the BSPN-45-38 blends form and function, helping you create a streamlined, professional rack footprint that performs under load and looks the part in front-of-house and control-room settings.

Constructed from robust steel, these panels offer enduring durability that stands up to the daily wear and tear of equipment maintenance, cable management, and technician access. The sleek black finish is not merely aesthetic; it is a practical choice that resists scratches, fingerprints, and minor dents, preserving a pristine appearance even after multiple installations and reconfigurations. The panels are designed to be part of a gangable system, allowing multiple enclosures to be combined into an integrated cabinet that maximizes space efficiency in environments where every rack unit counts. When installed, they provide a stable, rigid enclosure that helps keep vibrations and incidental contact from disturbing sensitive gear, while also contributing to a tidy, professional presentation for clients, engineers, and operators who expect reliability and clarity from their rack infrastructure.

One of the standout benefits of the BSPN-45-38 side panels is their removable design. This feature is particularly valuable in settings where rapid access to interior components, cabling, or rear connections is required. Whether performing routine maintenance, swapping hardware, or reconfiguring cable runs, technicians can remove the panels quickly and reattach them without fuss. This versatility translates into reduced downtime during upgrades and easier scaling as your rack needs evolve. In addition to providing physical protection, the removable panels simplify serviceability, helping you keep the rack environment organized and accessible. The panels’ compatibility with the 45RU, 38-inch deep BGR racks ensures a snug fit that aligns with the rack’s post pattern and profile, maintaining the professional, uniform appearance expected in high-end installations.

Beyond protection and aesthetics, the BSPN-45-38 contributes to efficient cable management and environmental control. The black steel panels help define a clean enclosure boundary, aiding in the organization of power cables, data cables, and audio/video lines. A well-sealed side panel arrangement minimizes dust intrusion and helps preserve equipment longevity by reducing the amount of airborne particulates that can accumulate inside a rack over time. The panels work in concert with other BGR accessories to deliver a cohesive, integrated system that supports straightforward installation, straightforward maintenance, and straightforward upgrades. If you’re building or expanding a rack room, these panels are a reliable, economical choice that aligns with Middle Atlantic’s emphasis on durability, serviceability, and professional appearance.

In terms of compatibility and application, the BSPN-45-38 is tailored for gangable 45RU configurations within the BGR series while offering flexibility for future reconfigurations. The panels’ design prioritizes ease of use without sacrificing strength or stability; they are built to stay square and true with the rack over time, even as you add, remove, or rearrange equipment across multiple positions. The result is a visually cohesive, structurally sound enclosure that enhances both the operation and presentation of your rack system. Whether you’re outfitting a new installation or upgrading an existing setup, these side panels are a practical investment—one that pays dividends in improved access, cleaner cabling, and a more professional overall footprint.

As a trusted solution from a renowned manufacturer, the BSPN-45-38 embodies the value proposition that professionals expect: solid build quality, thoughtful design, and compatibility with a family of accessories that make rack-based systems easier to assemble, deploy, and service. For engineers, studio technicians, and IT professionals who require reliable, repeatable performance from their rack infrastructure, these side panels deliver a balance of protection, accessibility, and aesthetics that helps you maintain peak efficiency in demanding environments. When you’re configuring a 45RU, 38-inch deep BGR rack, choosing the BSPN-45-38 side panels ensures your enclosure looks deliberate and professional while providing the practical benefits of removable protection and straightforward maintenance.
