Atlas Sound PFD16 – 1" Deep Plexiglass Door for WMA 16RU Rack

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound PFD16 is a 1" deep scratch-resistant acrylic plexiglass front door designed specifically for the AtlasIED WMA 16RU wall-mount cabinet series. The PFD16 provides visual access to rack-mounted equipment status indicators while protecting the contents of the enclosure from dust, accidental contact, and tampering. The innovative gripsert hardware eliminates standard nut-and-bolt door mounting, allowing installers to attach or remove the door on a cabinet that is already populated with equipment — a significant advantage in service and retrofit scenarios. Backed by a 60-month limited warranty and TAA-compliant manufacturing, the PFD16 is the correct accessory for WMA 16RU installations in government, corporate, and commercial AV deployments.

Product Description

Rack enclosure doors serve two functions that can work against each other: physical security and operational visibility. Standard solid steel doors block both unauthorized access and the ability to monitor equipment status LED indicators, metering displays, and power indicators without opening the door. The PFD16 resolves this by using scratch-resistant acrylic plexiglass, which provides clear visual access to all rack-mounted equipment while still protecting the enclosure contents from dust infiltration and accidental contact during normal facility operations.

The gripsert hardware system is a distinguishing design feature. Conventional rack cabinet doors use nut-and-bolt fasteners that require access to the interior of the cabinet — a process that means partially removing rack equipment to install or swap the door. The PFD16's gripsert system allows the door to be mounted directly to a fully loaded WMA cabinet without removing any installed gear, saving significant labor time on populated rack installations and on service visits where the door needs to be replaced or upgraded.

The 1" depth profile of the PFD16 is sized appropriately for the WMA series cabinet frame without protruding excessively into the installation space. TAA compliance makes the PFD16 suitable for federal government projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. The 60-month limited warranty provides long-term coverage consistent with the expected service life of a permanent wall-mount installation.
