Middle Atlantic SPN-45-42 Side Panel Pair 45U 42in Rack

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic SPN-45-42 is a pair of side panels designed for rack enclosure systems. These panels mount to the sides of compatible open-frame or enclosed racks, providing a finished appearance and physical protection for rack-mounted equipment. Built for 45-space (45U) racks with a 42-inch depth, they are sized to cover the full height and depth of the enclosure. Installation is typically performed by systems integrators, AV technicians, IT infrastructure professionals, and low-voltage contractors working on structured cabling and equipment rack builds. The black finish matches standard rack hardware for a clean, uniform appearance.

These side panels are suited for use in equipment rooms, server rooms, data closets, home theaters, broadcast facilities, and commercial AV installations where rack systems require side enclosure. They are sold as a pair, providing coverage for both sides of a single rack unit. The 45U height and 42-inch depth configuration matches larger, deep-profile rack enclosures commonly used when housing servers, UPS units, patch panels, and AV processing equipment that require extended depth clearance.
