Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic AP-6 is a 6-space hinged access panel fabricated from 13-gauge aluminum with a black powder coat finish. The hinged design provides quick access to rack interiors without removing the panel, making it ideal for installations where rear connector access is periodically required. Captive 10-32 thumbscrews allow tool-free opening, and the solid panel design controls both airflow and accidental contact with interior components.
Product Description
The AP-6 Access Panel from Middle Atlantic Products spans 6 rack spaces and provides a hinged aluminum panel that swings open from one side for interior access without requiring the panel to be removed from the rack. This is particularly valuable in installations where AV equipment, patch panels, or custom connector panels are mounted behind the access panel surface and need to be reached for periodic maintenance or reconfiguration. The 13-gauge aluminum construction is lightweight yet rigid, and the material is easily machinable for field customization of cutouts, openings, and connector holes. The solid panel face controls air circulation patterns within the rack and prevents accidental contact with components mounted on the interior side. Captive 10-32 threaded thumbscrews keep the panel closed securely without the risk of lost fasteners, and the tool-free opening design minimizes service time. The AP-6 is part of Middle Atlantic's AP Series access panels, which are available in multiple rack-space heights to accommodate various installation requirements.
