Middle Atlantic UFAF-1A 1SP PANEL,UFA SERIES BBA

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UFAF-1A is a 1U faceplate panel for the UFA (Universal Face-After) series with a black brushed and anodized finish. Like all UFA series faceplates, the UFAF-1A is designed to mount after the UFA shelf is already installed and populated with small devices, providing a clean and secure front covering without disturbing the equipment or cabling. The brushed anodized aluminum finish distinguishes the UFAF-1A from the standard powder coat variants, making it appropriate for rack builds where an aluminum aesthetic is preferred. This 1U panel is suitable for single-rack-unit UFA shelf configurations in commercial AV rack installations.

Product Description

The UFA (Universal Face-After) shelf system from Middle Atlantic allows integrators to mount small AV devices at the front or rear of a rack, then apply a faceplate after installation and cable dressing are complete. The UFAF-1A is the 1U variant of this faceplate with a black brushed and anodized (BBA) finish. This finish differs from the standard black powder coat option — the brushed aluminum surface has a more refined appearance that works well in custom AV furniture or rack installations where aluminum-finished components are specified. The faceplate mounts cleanly over the populated UFA shelf, covering the shelf contents while keeping the rack face organized and professional. UFA shelves include cable management and small device tie-down points, and the UFAF-1A faceplate completes the assembly by providing the finished front face. The 1U size is appropriate for UFA shelf installations occupying a single rack unit, commonly used for small signal processors, media players, or control interfaces. For AV integrators completing detailed rack builds, the UFAF-1A provides the visual finish to match a rack's aluminum component palette.
