Middle Atlantic SFACE3 Faceplate — Textured Black Aluminum for Precise Wiring Alignment

Enhance your AV setup with the Middle Atlantic SFACE3 Faceplate, a premium aluminum faceplate engineered to deliver a clean, professional finish while ensuring precise alignment of wiring behind your equipment mount box. Designed for durability in demanding environments—from home theaters to corporate AV rooms—this faceplate combines a rugged aluminum construction with a refined textured black finish that blends seamlessly with equipment and décor. The SFACE3 is built to simplify installation, improve cable management, and provide a robust, low-profile look that elevates the overall appearance of your rack or wall-mount system. With meticulous attention to fit and finish, this faceplate helps you achieve a tidy cabling layout, easy access for maintenance, and a dependable mounting solution that stands up to daily use.

• Precision-aligned wiring and mounting: The SFACE3 faceplate is designed to align perfectly with your Middle Atlantic mount box, ensuring consistent screw hole alignment and a flush, secure fit. This precision translates to faster installations and reduced risk of misalignment that can cause cable strain or uneven seams. By maintaining exact tolerances between the faceplate and the enclosure, the SFACE3 helps keep cables organized and accessible, making future service or reconfiguration straightforward and frustration-free.
• Durable aluminum construction for long-lasting reliability: Crafted from high-strength aluminum, the SFACE3 faceplate resists bending, denting, and wear in busy rack rooms or on-wall installations. Aluminum’s natural strength-to-weight ratio provides a sturdy mounting surface without adding unnecessary bulk, helping preserve the aesthetic integrity of your gear. This durability is essential in environments where equipment is installed, adjusted, or expanded over time, ensuring the faceplate remains steady and visually pristine for years to come.
• Textured Black finish for a premium professional look: The textured black coating delivers a sophisticated, low-glare appearance that coordinates with a wide range of AV components, speakers, and displays. This finish minimizes fingerprints and micro-scratches, maintaining a sleek, uniform façade across multiple rack bays. Whether installed in a residential theater or a corporate boardroom, the textured black texture enhances perceived quality and offers a timeless aesthetic that complements modern gear.
• Universal compatibility with Middle Atlantic systems and clean cable routing: While tailored for Middle Atlantic configurations, the SFACE3’s design supports cohesive integration with related mounting hardware and accessories. The faceplate provides a streamlined opening that guides cables into the mount box, encouraging better cable management and airflow. A tidy interior not only looks better but can improve system reliability by reducing cable fatigue and interference between power and signal pathways.
• Slim profile with enhanced ease of maintenance: The SFACE3’s slim silhouette minimizes depth behind the rack or panel while still delivering robust protection for wiring. The compact design makes it easier to access connectors, filter panels, or conduit entries during maintenance or upgrades. The combination of a lightweight yet durable form factor and a clean, professional finish helps installers achieve a polished end result without sacrificing practicality or future expandability.

How to install Middle Atlantic SFACE3 Faceplate

• Prepare the work area: Power down associated equipment and unplug devices to ensure a safe installation environment. Clear cables and clear the mounting area to prevent accidental damage during installation.
• Remove existing hardware: If you are replacing a previous faceplate, carefully remove screws and detach the old plate, keeping hardware organized for reuse if applicable. Inspect the mount box for any wear and clean the mounting surface to ensure a flush fit for the SFACE3.
• Align with the mount box: Hold the SFACE3 up to the mounting opening and align screw holes with the corresponding posts or threaded holes in the mount box. Verify that the opening accommodates your wiring and cables without pinching or excessive tension.
• Secure the faceplate: Insert the appropriate screws and tighten evenly in a crisscross pattern to ensure a uniform sit. Avoid overtightening, which could warp the aluminum or warp the gasket seal if present. Check that the faceplate sits flush against the mounting surface.
• Route cables and reassemble: Gently guide cables behind the faceplate, ensuring neat, organized routing away from connectors. Reconnect devices and test each connection to confirm full functionality. Perform a final visual inspection to verify alignment, finish, and a clean, professional appearance.
• Final checks: Ensure there is no interference with airflow or adjacent components. Confirm that all cables are secured and that the faceplate remains firmly in place after any movement or adjustment.
