Middle Atlantic 1 Space (1 3/4IN. ) Rackmount Panel with Dual Gooseneck LED Lights Black - LT-GN-PNL

Middle Atlantic LT-GN-PNL Dual Gooseneck LED Rack Light Panel

The Middle Atlantic LT-GN-PNL is a 1U rack-mount panel fitted with two flexible gooseneck LED lights, designed to illuminate rack interiors, patch bays, or work surfaces directly from a standard 19-inch equipment rack. At 1.75 inches tall and 19 inches wide, it occupies a single rack unit and plugs into any standard 120V 2-prong outlet — no custom wiring, no additional power supplies, no tools beyond your rack-mount hardware. For integrators managing dense rack builds in low-light server rooms, head-end closets, or surveillance equipment racks, the LT-GN-PNL solves the practical problem of working blind in a dark cabinet without reaching for a flashlight or stringing extension cords.

Key Features

• 1U Form Factor (1.75 in tall, 19 in wide): Fits any standard EIA 19-inch equipment rack using two mounting points. At exactly one rack unit of height, it doesn't sacrifice meaningful equipment space — you're trading 1U for permanent, positioned illumination rather than one-handed flashlight juggling during maintenance windows.
• Dual Gooseneck LED Arms: Two independently positionable gooseneck arms let you direct light exactly where you need it — one aimed at cable management, one at a patch field, for example. Fixed-angle lights can't do this; the flexible arms adapt to your specific rack layout without repositioning the panel itself.
• 120V 2-Prong Plug: Standard North American outlet connection means no proprietary power draw from your rack PDU's managed outlets and no need to allocate a metered or switched outlet. Plug into any available convenience outlet in the rack or on the wall — installation takes under a minute.
• 5.06-Inch Depth: At just over five inches deep, the LT-GN-PNL sits well within the depth envelope of most two-post and four-post open-frame racks, and leaves clearance for cable routing behind shallow-depth panels. Verify your rack's usable depth against the 5.06-inch (12.9 cm) figure if you're working with wall-mount enclosures where depth is constrained.
• TAA Compliant: Government, federal agency, and DoD deployments with Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements can specify the LT-GN-PNL without exception paperwork. Useful on GSA schedule procurements or any project where TAA compliance is a line-item on the spec sheet.
• Two Mounting Points: Standard two-point rack attachment provides secure, rattle-free mounting. The panel won't shift or vibrate loose in environments with HVAC airflow or during cable-pull activity nearby — important in production surveillance and security head-end rooms where disturbing adjacent equipment during maintenance is not acceptable.

Integration and Compatibility

The LT-GN-PNL (often searched as LT GN PNL) is a passive lighting accessory compatible with any standard 19-inch EIA rack, including open-frame two-post racks, four-post enclosed cabinets, and wall-mount enclosures with sufficient depth. It pairs naturally with rack enclosures and cabinets from Middle Atlantic's own line as well as third-party racks that follow EIA-310 standards. Because the power draw is handled via a standard 2-prong 120V plug rather than through the rack's power distribution system, there are no compatibility constraints with rack PDUs — you're not consuming a managed or metered outlet slot.

Integrators building out surveillance equipment racks or network head-end closets will find this panel slots into any open 1U gap in the build. It works alongside NVRs, patch panels, cable management panels, and blank filler panels without any configuration. For teams referencing a rack planning guide, account for this as a 1U utility slot — budget it into your rack unit count early in the design phase.

The TAA-compliant designation makes the LT-GN-PNL suitable for inclusion on government and municipal security system bids alongside other compliant Middle Atlantic rack products without sourcing exceptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many rack units does the LT-GN-PNL occupy?

A: The LT-GN-PNL occupies exactly 1U (1.75 inches of vertical rack space) and mounts in any standard 19-inch EIA rack using two mounting points.

Q: What power connection does the LT-GN-PNL use?

A: It uses a standard 120V 2-prong plug. No rack PDU outlet or managed power circuit is required — plug it into any available 120V convenience outlet.

Q: Is the LT-GN-PNL TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The LT-GN-PNL is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for federal, government, and GSA schedule procurements with TAA sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the depth of the LT-GN-PNL — will it fit in a shallow wall-mount enclosure?

A: The panel is 5.06 inches (12.9 cm) deep. Verify this against your enclosure's usable interior depth. Most standard four-post and open-frame racks accommodate it easily; shallow wall-mount enclosures may be tight.

Q: Can the gooseneck arms be repositioned?

A: Yes. The dual gooseneck arms are flexible and can be aimed independently to direct light at specific areas of the rack — patch fields, cable runs, equipment labels, or work surfaces — without moving the panel itself.

Q: What is the width of the LT-GN-PNL?

A: The panel is 19 inches (48.3 cm) wide, matching the standard EIA 19-inch rack form factor.

The Middle Atlantic LT-GN-PNL earns its rack unit in any serious equipment build. What stands out to me is the 5.06-inch depth spec — that's shallow enough to fit comfortably in most enclosed four-post cabinets without interfering with rear cable management, yet the dual gooseneck arms still give you enough reach to illuminate a full-width patch field or the front face of a deep NVR. I've seen integrators skip rack lighting entirely and then spend 20 minutes squinting at port labels during a midnight maintenance call. The LT-GN-PNL is the fix for that.

Technical Highlights:

• 1U x 19-in form factor: Precisely 1.75 inches tall and 19 inches wide — slots into any open rack unit on a standard EIA-310 rail with two-point attachment. No custom brackets, no rail adapters.
• Dual independent goosenecks: Two positionable arms mean you can split coverage — one arm on cable management, one on equipment labels — without any mechanical adjustment to the panel mount itself.
• TAA compliance: Verified compliant with Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements. On federal or municipal security bids where every line item needs TAA attestation, this is checked off without any supplier exception process.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 120V 2-prong plug requires an accessible outlet near or inside the rack. Plan your outlet count during rack design — it's easy to overlook a convenience outlet when every PDU port is allocated to powered equipment.
• At 5.06 inches deep, double-check usable interior depth in shallow wall-mount enclosures before ordering. Standard 12-inch-deep wall boxes may not accommodate the panel without the gooseneck arms projecting into adjacent equipment space.

The LT-GN-PNL is the right call for surveillance head-end rooms and security operations center racks where technicians are working live equipment during maintenance windows — the positioned LED arms keep hands free and reduce the risk of accidental port pulls or mis-seating cables in a dark cabinet.
