Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel - 100 CFM Fan Panel - Black

The Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel is engineered for demanding rack environments where efficient cooling, dependable operation, and minimal noise are essential. The UQFP-4RT model combines robust airflow with precise temperature management, delivering up to 100 CFM of cooling power while maintaining a whisper-quiet profile. Designed for professional settings—from broadcasting studios and post-production suites to data closets and IT racks—this panel integrates seamlessly with existing Middle Atlantic systems and rack infrastructure. Its black finish provides a clean, professional look that blends into most equipment racks, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practical performance.

At the core of the UQFP-4RT is a DC-powered fan panel that is optimized for low noise output without sacrificing cooling efficiency. The standout feature is the remote thermistor, which provides accurate, real-time temperature sensing to regulate fan speed automatically. This intelligent control helps balance cooling performance and energy efficiency, reducing wear on the fan and minimizing noise when ambient temperatures are comfortable. With a maximum airflow of 100 CFM, the panel can quickly respond to heat generated by dense equipment configurations, including servers, AV processors, audio interfaces, and other gear commonly housed in rack enclosures. The result is a reliable cooling solution that protects sensitive electronics, preserves performance, and extends the life of your equipment—all while remaining unobtrusively quiet in quiet rooms, control rooms, and workspaces.

  • High-performance airflow: The UQFP-4RT delivers up to 100 CFM of consistent cooling, helping to dissipate heat from densely packed rack components and maintain stable operating temperatures even under peak workload. This level of airflow is particularly beneficial for equipment bays with multiple hot-running devices, where effective ventilation prevents thermal throttling and reduces the risk of overheating that can lead to performance degradation or component wear.
  • Ultra-quiet operation: Engineered for environments where noise matters, this fan panel operates at an impressively low 27 dB—a level that minimizes disruption in studios, control rooms, edit bays, and other spaces requiring a calm, focused atmosphere. The quiet design is achieved through precision engineering, balanced motor speeds, and optimized housing to reduce vibration transmission to the rack framework.
  • Remote thermistor for precise control: The built-in remote thermistor enables automatic speed adjustment based on actual ambient conditions or monitored rack temperatures. By sensing temperature away from the immediate fan housing, the system responds more accurately to heat sources, maintaining a steady climate inside the enclosure while avoiding unnecessary fan noise when temperatures are comfortable.
  • DC-powered efficiency and simple integration: As a DC fan panel, the UQFP-4RT is designed for straightforward integration into existing power architectures within rack setups. Its compact form factor fits standard 19" rack spaces, and the panel’s wiring and control interfaces are aligned with typical Middle Atlantic rack installations, ensuring a smooth installation experience for technicians familiar with professional AV and IT environments.
  • Rugged, professional finish with reliable performance: The UQFP series is built to withstand the rigors of daily rack usage. The black finish offers a professional aesthetic that matches a wide range of equipment and environments, while the panel’s construction supports long-term reliability in demanding settings—from busy broadcasting suites to IT closets with tight space constraints.

how to install Middle Atlantic UQFP Series Ultra Quiet Fan Panel - 100 CFM Fan Panel - Black

Installing the UQFP-4RT is designed to be as straightforward as possible for professionals working with rack enclosures. Begin by planning the installation location within the rack to ensure adequate clearance for air intake and exhaust and to align with other cooling components in the system. Verify that the rack side panels and mounting rails are secure and free of obstructions that could impede airflow. The panel is sized to fit standard 19" racks, so position it in a location that optimizes thermal management for the devices it will serve.

  • Power connection: Connect the DC power input to a compatible DC power source according to the product’s power requirements. Ensure the power supply is switched off before making any connections. Use proper terminal connections and secure wiring to prevent movement or cable strain inside the rack.
  • Thermistor placement: Place the remote thermistor in the designated location within the enclosure or near the equipment that generates heat most prominently. Route the thermistor cable to the fan control module, ensuring it is not in contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges to avoid damage or measurement bias.
  • Mounting: Slide the UQFP-4RT into the appropriate 19" rack opening and secure it with the provided fasteners. Align the panel so that any air intake grills and exhaust vents are unobstructed. Confirm that the panel is firmly mounted and does not rattle when the rack is moved or bumped.
  • System integration: If the fan panel integrates with a central monitoring or control system, connect the thermistor and any control leads as specified by the installation guide. Calibrate the control loop to ensure the automatic speed adjustments respond predictably to temperature changes without introducing unnecessary fan noise during normal operation.
  • Verification: After wiring and mounting, restore power to the rack and power on the equipment. Observe the fan’s operation to confirm the 27 dB noise level is achieved under typical load conditions, and verify that temperature readings align with the thermistor location. Check for uniform airflow and ensure there are no unusual vibrations or rattling sounds.

Tips for optimal results:

  • Position the panel to provide clear air paths around hot components; avoid placing heat sources directly behind intake vents.
  • Keep cable management tidy to prevent restricted airflow and to minimize the risk of cables coming into contact with moving fan blades.
  • Periodically inspect mounting hardware and wiring to ensure continued secure installation and vibration-free operation.
