Middle Atlantic 20SP RK Rear Access KT MP - RK-RAP20-MP

Middle Atlantic RK-RAP20-MP 20RU Maple Rear Access Panel Kit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RK-RAP20-MP is a 20-rack-unit rear access panel kit finished in maple wood veneer, designed to close out the rear of open-frame Middle Atlantic rack enclosures while maintaining a furniture-grade appearance. At 19.13 in wide and 35 in tall, it fills the full rear opening of a 20RU bay — the right pick for AV and security equipment installations in executive spaces, boardrooms, or facilities where exposed rack backs are not acceptable. The RK-RAP20-MP ships at 24 lbs, reflecting solid wood construction rather than a thin cosmetic skin.

Compatibility

This panel is engineered for rack enclosures in the following Middle Atlantic base series: BRK, MBRK, OBRK, and RK — specifically the 20RU configuration within each. It is not a universal-fit panel; confirm your rack series and RU count before ordering. The maple finish is intended to coordinate with Middle Atlantic's furniture-series rack cabinetry lines where wood-tone aesthetics are a design requirement. If your installation uses a different RU count (12RU, 16RU, 25RU, etc.), a matching RK-RAP panel in the correct unit height is required instead.

Installation Notes

The panel measures 1.2 in deep — shallow enough to avoid clearance conflicts with rear-facing connectors or cable management bars on most rack accessory configurations. Wood construction means this panel is not appropriate for environments with high humidity, temperature cycling, or wet locations. Mount into the rear rail set of the compatible base series using the hardware provided; no field cutting or modification should be required for a correctly matched rack. Verify rack series designation on the rail label before installation — BRK and RK series share similar footprints but are not always interchangeable across Middle Atlantic's cable management and door accessory lines.
