Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic AP-2 is a 2-space hinged access panel constructed from 13-gauge machinable aluminum with a black powder coat finish, providing tool-free interior rack access via captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews. The hinged panel provides quick passage to rack interiors for accessing the rear of connector panels, terminations, and cable connections without removing the panel from the rack entirely. This is a solid panel configuration that controls airflow and prevents accidental contact with internal rack components.
Product Description
Connector panels, patch panels, and AV interface panels installed in racks frequently require rear access for termination work, cable changes, and troubleshooting. In enclosed rack installations, reaching the rear of front-mounted connector panels typically requires full access to the rear of the rack or removal of the panel from the rack. The AP-2 hinged access panel eliminates this problem by providing a 2-space rack-mounted panel that opens forward on a hinge, allowing direct access to the space and components behind it. The captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews can be loosened and tightened by hand without tools, and because they are captive they cannot be dropped or lost during servicing. The 13-gauge aluminum construction is rigid and easily machinable if custom cutouts are needed for specific connector configurations. Vented versions are also available in the AP series for applications where airflow through the access panel position is needed.
