It provides both greater rear clearance and powered exhaust, suiting C-Frame installations with deeper equipment and higher heat loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ten inches of additional depth over the 20 in panel are not about the chassis itself — they are about everything behind it. A molded HDMI boot, a category cable at its minimum bend radius, and a right-angle power plug together consume several inches that no equipment datasheet lists. Compressing them produces cable stress and intermittent signal faults that surface months later as hard-to-diagnose room problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated active cooling handles the other half of the equation, exhausting heat from equipment that runs continuously inside a closed C-Frame enclosure. Pairing the panel with a bottom vent such as SA\/BVAC completes the airflow path by supplying cool intake air at the base.
