Middle Atlantic SPN-40-36 Side Panels 40U 36 Inch Deep

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic SPN-40-36 is a pair of black side panels designed for 40U equipment racks with a 36-inch depth. These panels mount to the sides of open-frame or enclosed racks to provide a clean, finished appearance and to help manage airflow, reduce dust ingress, and conceal internal cabling from view. Typically installed by AV integrators, IT infrastructure technicians, and low-voltage system professionals, the SPN-40-36 is a rack enclosure accessory that completes the physical structure of a rack system deployed in equipment rooms, data closets, and broadcast or control environments.

These side panels are suited for 40U rack installations where a 36-inch depth profile is required. Common applications include server rooms, network equipment closets, audio-visual rack builds, and security system enclosures. The black finish matches standard rack cabinet aesthetics and is appropriate for both front-of-house and back-of-house installations where panel coverage is needed along the full rack height.

Installation Notes

Side panels are typically installed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators during rack assembly or retrofit. Power down and de-energize all active equipment in the rack before mounting or repositioning panels. Use appropriate rack hardware and follow the rack manufacturer's installation guidelines for panel attachment. Ensure panel alignment with the rack rail structure before fastening to avoid interference with equipment mounting.
