Middle Atlantic MW-LVT Large Vented Perforated Rack Top

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC MW-LVT is a large vented perforated top panel designed for rack enclosures and rack cabinets. It provides passive airflow through a perforated surface, allowing heat generated by installed equipment to escape through the top of the enclosure. This type of panel is a standard rackmount accessory used in AV, IT, and low-voltage installations where thermal management is a priority. Licensed low-voltage technicians and AV integrators typically specify vented top panels when enclosures house amplifiers, power conditioners, or other heat-producing equipment.

The MW-LVT fits into rackmount enclosure builds for residential and commercial installations. It is used in applications where free-air convection cooling is sufficient and active fan cooling is not required or desired. The perforated design allows consistent passive ventilation without modifying the enclosure structure. Installers working on media rooms, server closets, equipment racks, and control rooms commonly specify vented top panels of this type.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators. Power down all equipment housed in the enclosure before removing or installing any top panel. Confirm the panel dimensions match the enclosure opening before installation. Local codes for low-voltage installations, such as NFPA 70 Article 725, may apply depending on the equipment housed in the rack.
