Middle Atlantic Rear Access Panel, 24 RU WR Racks

The Middle Atlantic Rear Access Panel is a purpose-built solution for 24U wall-rack (WR) systems, delivering robust, reliable rear access for cabling and component maintenance without sacrificing front-end accessibility or rack integrity. Crafted from heavy-duty steel and finished in a durable black powder coat, this rear access panel is designed to withstand the rigors of active equipment rooms, data centers, and AV installations. With a precise 24U rack height alignment, a generous 44.5" height and a compact 21.4" width, plus a shallow 1.2" depth, it fits discreetly behind your gear while providing seamless access to rear connections. The design emphasizes simple installation with a minimal clearance requirement, so you can optimize space in dense racks while keeping cables organized and secure.

  • 24U compatibility and tailored fit: Specifically engineered for 24U WR rack configurations, this rear access panel aligns with standard 24U equipment layouts to ensure a clean, secure integration. The panel’s dimensions are optimized to match the WR rack footprint, giving you reliable rear access without interfering with front panel operation or door clearance. This means technicians can reach cabling, connectors, and rear mounted equipment quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime during installations and service calls.
  • Durable steel construction with a black powder coat finish: Built to endure demanding environments, the panel uses rugged steel construction combined with a protective black powder coat finish. The coating resists scratches, corrosion, and wear from frequent handling, making it an ideal choice for data centers, control rooms, and AV installations where aesthetics and longevity matter. The sleek black finish also provides a professional look that blends with most rack systems and room interiors.
  • Precise, space-conscious dimensions: The panel is specified for a 44.5" height, 21.4" width, and 1.2" depth, ensuring compatibility with standard 24U WR racks while maintaining a slim profile that doesn’t intrude on adjacent equipment. These measurements support clean cable routing and organized rear access without compromising front-of-rack clearance or airflow. The compact depth is especially valuable in tight equipment rooms where every inch counts.
  • Low-clearance installation and removal: A standout feature is the ability to install and remove the rear access panel with only 2" of clearance behind the rack. This minimalist clearance requirement simplifies retrofits and new installations, letting you maximize available floor space and maintain a tidy cabling environment even in cramped rooms. The design minimizes disruption to existing gear and reduces the need for reorganizing other components during installation.
  • Enhanced cable management and airflow support: By providing a dedicated rear access point, the panel helps you route cables cleanly and securely, facilitating organized transitions from front to rear in 24U racks. The rear access design promotes better cable management, reduces tugging and strain on connectors, and supports efficient airflow around rear-mounted equipment, contributing to system reliability and easier maintenance.

How to install Middle Atlantic Rear Access Panel

  • Prepare the workspace and confirm that you are working with a compatible 24U WR rack. Ensure the area behind the rack offers at least 2" of clearance for installation and removal.
  • Align the rear access panel with the rack’s mounting interface. Check that mounting holes or brackets line up with the rack’s rear chassis, ensuring a level fit to avoid stress on connectors during use.
  • Attach the panel using the appropriate hardware supplied by Middle Atlantic or recommended for your rack model. Tighten fasteners evenly to secure the panel without overtightening, which could deform mounting points.
  • Verify rear access and clearance: open or remove the panel as needed to confirm that rear cables can be routed smoothly and that there is unobstructed access to connectors, power strips, and rear-installed equipment.
  • Perform a final functional check by reconnecting cables and ensuring that equipment behind the panel remains accessible, cooled, and organized. Confirm that there is no interference with the rack doors or adjacent equipment and that the panel remains securely mounted during normal operation.
