Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic VTF1 is a 1U tight-pattern vented blank panel providing passive airflow for standard 19-inch equipment racks while restricting the view inside the rack enclosure. The tight hole perforation pattern allows air to circulate through the panel face while limiting visibility of internal rack components, making it appropriate for customer-facing or semi-public rack installations. Flanged steel construction with a black powder coat finish provides durability and standard rack aesthetics. The VTF1 is part of Middle Atlantic's ventilated blank panel line offering both standard and tight-pattern perforation options.
Product Description
The Middle Atlantic VTF1 vented blank panel uses a tight hole perforation pattern that allows air movement through the panel face while restricting the view of rack interior components. This is useful in installations where racks are visible to building occupants, clients, or the public, and where a cleaner visual presentation of the rack front is desired without sacrificing passive ventilation. Flanged steel construction provides the structural rigidity needed for a flat, stable panel face in standard 10-32 threaded rack rails. The black powder coat finish maintains consistency with standard AV rack panel finishes. The VTF1 places one rack unit of vented coverage in a location within the rack where thermal management is needed alongside reduced visual access to the rack interior. Compatible with standard 19-inch EIA rack rail configurations.
Key Features
- Tight-Pattern Perforation — Restricts view inside the rack while still allowing passive airflow through the panel.

- Black Powder Coat Finish — Durable finish consistent with standard AV rack panel aesthetics.
