Middle Atlantic D-CFRD-44 – 44SP Split Fan Rear Door for DRK
Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic D-CFRD-44 is a 44-space split fan rear door accessory designed specifically for Middle Atlantic DRK series rack enclosures. It provides active thermostatic cooling for high-heat equipment deployments by delivering forced airflow through the rear door panel. Common search terms include 44U fan rear door for DRK rack, Middle Atlantic thermostatic fan door, and active cooling rear door for AV equipment rack.
Product Description
The D-CFRD-44 replaces the standard rear door on a 44U DRK series enclosure and adds active fan-driven cooling to manage the thermal output of high-density IT and AV equipment. The split door design allows the top and bottom sections to open independently, which is useful in space-constrained equipment rooms where full-door swing clearance is limited. Thermostatic fan control automatically ramps fan speed based on rack internal temperature, reducing noise during low-load periods and maximizing airflow during peak thermal conditions. This prevents manual intervention and reduces energy consumption compared to fixed-speed fan configurations. The D-CFRD-44 integrates directly with Middle Atlantic DRK series frames without modification or additional hardware. Fan units are replaceable for long-term serviceability. The door maintains a consistent rack profile when closed, preserving the physical security and finished appearance of the enclosure. This accessory is the appropriate cooling solution for DRK deployments running amplifiers, dense switches, servers, or power distribution equipment with sustained high thermal output. Compatible with both DRK19-44-31 and DRK19-44-36 floor racks available at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which racks is the D-CFRD-44 compatible with?
- The D-CFRD-44 is designed for Middle Atlantic DRK series 44U rack enclosures, including the DRK19-44-31 and DRK19-44-36 models.
- How does thermostatic fan control work on the D-CFRD-44?
- A temperature sensor inside the enclosure monitors rack ambient temperature. Fan speed increases automatically as temperature rises and decreases during lower-load periods, reducing noise and power consumption without manual adjustment.
- What is the benefit of a split door design?
- The split door allows independent access to the top and bottom halves of the rear door panel without fully opening the door. This is useful in tight equipment rooms where full door swing is obstructed by adjacent racks or walls.
- Can the fans in the D-CFRD-44 be replaced in the field?
- Yes. The fan units are designed for field replacement, allowing long-term serviceability without removing or replacing the entire door assembly.
- Does the D-CFRD-44 require any modification to the DRK rack?
- No. The D-CFRD-44 installs directly onto compatible DRK series enclosures using the existing rear door mounting points with no frame modification required.
- Where can I order the D-CFRD-44 or request a quote?
- The D-CFRD-44 is available at creationnetworks.net. Contact us for system integration and volume pricing.
