Middle Atlantic MW-6FT – Fan Top Panel for MRK VRK WMRK Racks
Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic MW-6FT fan top panel series delivers active thermal management for MRK, VRK, VMRK, WRK, and WMRK equipment racks. The panel accepts three 6-inch rack fans, exhausting heat directly from the top of the enclosure where it naturally accumulates. Choose the MW-6FT panel-only option to add your own fans, or the MW-6FT-660CFM with factory-installed fans rated for 660 CFM of airflow. Both options install in place of a standard rack top for straightforward integration into new builds or field retrofits.
Product Description
Heat is the leading cause of premature equipment failure in commercial AV and IT installations, and rack-top exhaust is one of the most effective ways to manage it. The MW-6FT fan top panel mounts three 6-inch fans at the highest point of the rack, pulling hot air up and out of the enclosure in a natural convection path. The base MW-6FT version ships as a fan-ready panel, letting integrators specify fan models and airflow to match the heat load of each rack. For high-density deployments, the MW-6FT-660CFM variant arrives with fans installed and delivers 660 CFM of exhaust capacity. The panel fits Middle Atlantic WR, WRK, MRK, VRK, VMRK, and DRK rack enclosures, covering the most common rack platforms used in commercial deployment. A removable two-space service plate is included, allowing technicians to remove the top panel during service without disrupting cable bundles entering the rack. Steel construction with a black finish matches the rest of the Middle Atlantic rack ecosystem. For AV integrators planning rack cooling as part of a larger build, this fan top pairs with the full range of Middle Atlantic rack accessories at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Middle Atlantic racks does the MW-6FT fan top fit?
It fits WR, WRK, MRK, VRK, VMRK, and DRK series rack enclosures, replacing the standard top panel.
What is the difference between the MW-6FT and the MW-6FT-660CFM?
The MW-6FT is the fan-ready panel only — you supply and install up to three 6-inch fans. The MW-6FT-660CFM ships with fans factory-installed and delivers 660 CFM of exhaust airflow.
Can I service the rack top without disturbing my cable bundles?
Yes. The included removable two-space service plate lets technicians take the top off the rack without disrupting cables entering through the top.
Is this fan top suitable for a retrofit on an existing installation?
Yes. It installs in place of the standard rack top, so integrators can add active cooling to in-service racks during a maintenance window.
How do I choose between the panel-only and the 660 CFM version?
Calculate the heat load of the rack in BTU or watts and select airflow accordingly. The 660 CFM version suits high-density racks; the panel-only version lets you tailor airflow with your choice of fans.
