Middle Atlantic PPM – Pivoting Panel Mount Wall Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PPM Series pivoting panel mount puts patch panels and network equipment on the wall while keeping the rear of every panel serviceable. The enclosure pivots open with a 90-degree positive stop, holding itself in position so a technician can punch down terminations with both hands free. Rugged steel construction, standard 10-32 threaded rackrail, and included rack screws and hook-and-loop fasteners make it an install-ready wall mount rack for telecom and AV connectivity. The series spans 2, 4, 6, and 8 space models, including extended-depth versions for deeper equipment.

Product Description

Wall-mounted patch fields are common in IDF closets, equipment rooms, and retrofit commercial AV installation work, but fixed wall brackets make rear access a constant struggle. The PPM Series solves this with a pivoting design: the panel mount swings open for fast, easy rear access to patch panels and network equipment, then closes flat against the wall for a compact footprint. The innovative 90-degree positive stop holds the enclosure fully open, which means punch-down work can happen in place rather than on a bench.

Inside, abundant tie points support disciplined cable management, and the included hook-and-loop fasteners let installers dress bundles without hard cinching. The rackrail is standard 10-32 threaded, so any conventional rackmount patch panel, switch bracket, or connectivity panel mounts directly with the included rack screws. Steel construction keeps the assembly rigid under fully loaded cable fields. Choose the capacity that fits the panel count: PPM-2 (2 space), PPM-4 (4 space), PPM-6 (6 space), or the extended-depth PPM-6-12, PPM-8-12, and PPM-8-18 models for 6 and 8 space configurations with deeper equipment. Optional security covers and doors are available when the location calls for controlled access. Browse companion racks and accessories in our Middle Atlantic collection.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I mount in the PPM Series?
The standard 10-32 threaded rackrail accepts conventional rackmount patch panels, connectivity panels, and shallow network equipment, secured with the included rack screws.

How does the pivoting design help during installation?
The enclosure swings open and locks at a 90-degree positive stop, so a technician can punch down terminations with the panel held in position rather than removing it from the wall.

Which model should I specify?
Match the space count to your panel load: PPM-2, PPM-4, or PPM-6 for standard needs, and PPM-6-12, PPM-8-12, or PPM-8-18 for higher-capacity or deeper-equipment configurations.

Does it support clean cable management?
Yes. Abundant internal tie points plus the included hook-and-loop fasteners let installers dress and strain-relieve bundles so they move with the pivot without stress.

Can the enclosure be secured?
Optional security covers and doors are available for deployments in public or controlled-access spaces.

What warranty and support apply?
The PPM Series is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty, and Creation Networks provides specification assistance and post-sale support for commercial projects.
