Middle Atlantic 8RU Fixed Security Cover with Hinged Plexi Door

Designed to shield critical equipment in standard 19" racks while preserving quick, secure access, the Middle Atlantic 8RU Fixed Security Cover with Hinged Plexi Door is built for professional AV installations, data centers, and demanding control rooms. This SECL Series locking security cover combines rugged engineering with sleek, unobtrusive styling to protect gear without compromising visibility or serviceability. Whether you’re safeguarding delicate power management modules, audio processors, or network switches, this cover provides a reliable barrier against tampering while keeping essential indicators in view.

With a robust steel frame and a hinged 3/16" smoked-gray plexiglass door, the unit delivers tamper-resistant protection against accidental or intentional interference. The key-locked door ensures that only authorized personnel can access the equipment inside, adding an important layer of security in busy racks and crowded server rooms. The design purposefully keeps the front of the rack clean and organized, while the door’s smoked glass lets technicians monitor status LEDs and front-panel indicators at a glance. The fixed 8RU configuration is tailored for setups that require a compact but high-density enclosure, maintaining a tidy appearance without sacrificing performance or accessibility. Available in 2, 3, 4, and 8 rackspace sizes, these covers offer flexibility to fit a wide range of installations and equipment footprints.

  • Rugged steel frame delivers durable protection for eight rack units in a compact footprint, ideal for busy studios, control rooms, and IT closets.
  • Hinged, lockable 3/16" smoked-gray plexiglass door provides secure access while keeping equipment visible and monitorable through the door.
  • Only 1-1/2" of depth clears controls and front-panel connectors, helping to maintain a neat, accessible front of rack configuration.
  • Key-locked door reduces tampering risk and unauthorized access, supporting strict security protocols in professional AV and IT environments.
  • Available in 2, 3, 4, and 8 RU configurations to fit a variety of equipment layouts and rack sizes, simplifying procurement and installation.
