The Middle Atlantic VWM Series Back Pan is engineered to redefine how you mount and manage equipment in high-demand environments. Built to pair with the VWM Series low-profile wall cabinets, this back pan delivers industry-leading capacity without compromising form or function. Its 42" height and 10" depth provide an expansive, secure space for racks, power distribution, networking gear, and accessory components while preserving a sleek, professional appearance. The black finish complements modern AV rooms, control rooms, studios, and data centers, offering a clean, cohesive aesthetic that blends with surrounding hardware. Designed with installers in mind, the VWM Back Pan emphasizes flexibility, durability, and ease of use, ensuring you can adapt quickly to changing configurations and evolving technology. This is more than a back panel—it’s a versatile equipment mounting platform that supports scalability, simplifies cable management, and accelerates deployment in both new installations and upgrades.

• Unmatched capacity within a low-profile footprint. The VWM Series Back Pan maximizes usable interior space inside a compact, wall-mountable design. With generous height and depth, you can organize servers, switches, power supplies, patch panels, and peripheral devices without crowding or interfering with airflow. This high-capacity solution is ideal for multi-rack deployments, complex AV/IT ecosystems, and control rooms where every inch of space matters. Its thoughtful geometry enables secure stacking and orderly placement of gear, reducing the need for piecemeal mounting solutions and promoting a cleaner, more efficient rack layout.
• Advanced cable management and accessibility. The back pan is designed to streamline cabling while preserving serviceability. Integrated cable pathways, accessible conduits, and strategically positioned openings simplify routing and reduce strain on cables during adjustments. With the Back Pan in place, technicians can perform routine maintenance, swaps, and reconfigurations with minimal disruption to adjacent equipment. The result is improved signal integrity, easier troubleshooting, and a tidier enclosure that reflects professional-grade installation standards.
• Patent-pending versatility with modular adaptability. The VWM Back Pan embodies Middle Atlantic’s commitment to flexible design. Its patent-pending concept prioritizes adaptability, allowing for rapid reconfiguration as gear inventories change or new technologies emerge. Installers gain confidence knowing the back pan can accommodate evolving equipment inventories, including denser networking devices, power management blocks, and audio-visual components, all while maintaining a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing installation. This versatility translates into lower retrofit costs and quicker turnarounds on future-proof projects.
• Durable construction and professional finish. The Back Pan is built to endure demanding environments. With a rugged construction and a durable black finish, it stands up to daily use, environmental challenges, and the rigors of professional settings. The finish not only adds to the cabinet’s visual appeal but also provides resistance to wear, fingerprints, and minor abrasions that can occur in live production rooms, control rooms, or classroom deployments. This combination of resilience and aesthetics helps preserve a polished look over time while maintaining reliable performance.
• Easy installation and future-ready design. The VWM Series Back Pan is designed to expedite installation and future adjustments. Its layout and mounting considerations keep hardware secure, accessible, and easy to upgrade as your system expands. Quick-fit rails, standardized mounting points, and thoughtful alignment features reduce install time and errors. The Back Pan supports clean cable routing, efficient serviceability, and hassle-free gear additions, so you can deliver a professional installation that scales with your needs and your clients’ evolving technology landscape.

How to install Middle Atlantic VWM Series Back Pan

Begin with a secure mounting surface for the VWM cabinet. Ensure the wall or framework is rated to support the weight of the fully populated cabinet plus equipment. If doors are installed, remove them temporarily to gain full access during the back pan installation. Position the Back Pan inside the cabinet to align mounting holes with the cabinet’s internal rails or brackets. Use the hardware recommended by Middle Atlantic for a precise, secure fit, tightening the fasteners in a crisscross sequence to evenly distribute load. Once mounted, verify that the Back Pan sits flush with the cabinet face and that there is adequate clearance for gear depth without impeding door operation or airflow. Route cables through designated openings or channels, keeping power and data runs separate where possible to minimize interference and heat buildup. After installation, reinstall doors or panels, perform a final cable management check, and power up the system to confirm proper operation. Periodic inspections and re-tensioning of fasteners are advised as equipment configurations change to maintain structural integrity and alignment.
