Middle Atlantic TA 45U Bezel Panel

The Middle Atlantic TA 45U Bezel Panel is the definitive finishing touch for professional rack installations. Built to deliver a quick, clean, and visually cohesive result, this bezel panel is designed to cover rack screws and hardware after the project is complete, giving you a seamless front face that looks as polished as your work performs. Measuring 45 spaces in length—equating to 78 3/4 inches—the TA 45U Bezel Panel provides a single, continuous trim solution for long rack runs, ensuring there are no visible fasteners interrupting the sleek front, regardless of the number of components installed. Its channel-shaped design incorporates internal grooves that fit the supplied snap-in hardware, making installation straightforward while maintaining a secure, professional finish that stands up to the rigors of daily use in studio, broadcast, IT, and AV environments.

• Premium aesthetic finish for any installation. The TA 45U Bezel Panel delivers a refined, professional look across the front of your rack. By concealing screws and hardware, it creates a clean, uninterrupted plane that enhances the overall presentation of your equipment rack. This finishing touch can elevate the perceived value of a project, whether it’s in a high-end studio, a busy control room, or a corporate AV deployment. The bezel panel is designed to complement a wide range of rack systems and configurations, ensuring a consistent, high-quality appearance that clients notice and appreciate. With this bezel panel in place, your installation communicates attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship that distinguishes top-tier work from ordinary setups.
• Effortless screw coverage and protection for a tidy front. As a quick, clean, and effective method of covering rack screws, the TA 45U Bezel Panel minimizes the likelihood of loose hardware becoming exposed or snagging on cables during service or reconfiguration. By concealing fasteners along the front edge, it reduces dust intrusion and helps to maintain a pristine look over time. The result is less maintenance and fewer distractions, so operators can focus on the task at hand rather than worrying about the appearance of the rack face. This finishing strip is especially valuable for installations that require frequent component swaps, additions, or re-purposing, where a neat facade matters just as much as functional performance.
• Precisely sized for long rack runs with 45 spaces. Each channel-shaped trim strip measures 45 spaces, equivalent to 78 3/4 inches in length. This exact dimension is designed to span extended front-face sections of standard 19-inch racks, simplifying planning and installation for large-scale projects. The extended length reduces the need for multiple shorter trim pieces, minimizing seams and misalignment and delivering a continuous line that visually unifies the front of the rack. This makes it ideal for installations where multiple units are stacked or where a continuous presentation is part of the design language.
• Built for secure, snap-in installation with internal grooves. The bezel panel features internal grooves that fit into the supplied snap-in hardware, enabling a secure, quick-fit installation that resists vibration and accidental displacement. The snap-in mechanism is designed to be user-friendly, allowing technicians to align, engage, and secure the bezel with minimal tools and effort. The grooves ensure that the panel sits flush along the front of the rack, even when the surrounding components present irregularities or variable tolerances. This thoughtful design reduces installation time and helps ensure consistent results across multiple racks or locations.
• Designed for durability and long-term maintenance in professional environments. The TA 45U Bezel Panel is intended to withstand the rigors of everyday rack use, including frequent access, cable management adjustments, and occasional reconfiguration. Its channel shape provides structural stability along the full length, helping to resist bending or warping that could compromise the clean front appearance. Because it covers screws and hardware, it also protects fasteners from dust ingress and incidental contact, contributing to lower maintenance needs and a cleaner, more durable presentation over time. This makes it a reliable choice for studios, control rooms, data centers, and other demanding settings where aesthetics and reliability matter equally.

how to install Middle Atlantic TA 45U Bezel Panel

• Prepare the rack area by ensuring the front face is clear of debris and that existing screws or fasteners are secured. Confirm that the rack length corresponds to the 45-space span of the TA 45U Bezel Panel so you get a seamless fit from end to end.
• Position the bezel panel along the front edge of the rack run, aligning the start and end points with the rack’s vertical alignment guides. The goal is to achieve a flush, uninterrupted line across the front face when the panel is seated.
• Engage the internal grooves with the supplied snap-in hardware. Press along the length of the panel to ensure that the grooves fully contact the snap-in components and that the panel seats evenly across the entire span. Avoid applying point pressure that could bend or kink the channel; instead, use steady, uniform pressure to secure the fit.
• Verify alignment and flushness after installation. Inspect from multiple angles to ensure there are no gaps, protrusions, or uneven edges that could affect the appearance or interfere with opening and closing any nearby doors or panels on the rack.
• Perform a final check after adding any equipment or making cable management adjustments. Confirm that the bezel panel remains firmly in place and that screws or other hardware remain covered along the entire length. If needed, re-seat the panel or re-engage the snap-in hardware to restore a pristine, uninterrupted front.
