Middle Atlantic - U.s. - Legrand VFD-18 18 Space Vented Front Door

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND VFD-18 is an 18-space vented front door designed for use with compatible rack enclosures in AV, IT, and network equipment installations. The vented panel construction promotes airflow through the enclosure, helping to manage heat generated by active equipment mounted inside. Finished in black, this door is a direct-fit replacement or upgrade component for supported rack frames. It is typically installed by AV integrators, IT infrastructure technicians, and data center maintenance professionals who need reliable front-access hardware with passive ventilation.

The VFD-18 is suited for rack enclosure builds in server rooms, equipment closets, broadcast environments, and commercial AV installations where front-panel access and thermal management are both priorities. The 18-space configuration accommodates standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 18U in height. This door is sold as a single unit and is intended for use in professional rack system assemblies rather than standalone application.
