Middle Atlantic VPM-3 3RU Vertical Panel Mount
Overview
The Middle Atlantic VPM-3 is a 3-rack-unit vertical panel mount designed for wall-surface installations where a full rack enclosure isn't practical or justified. At 19.25 in wide and 6 in deep, the VPM-3 gives you a standard 10-32 threaded rail surface on the wall — useful for mounting patch panels, small switches, or AV distribution gear in telecom closets, server rooms, or security head-end spaces where floor or rack space is at a premium. The VPM-3 carries up to 200 lbs, so it handles virtually any 3RU-compatible equipment without concern for load limits. TAA-compliant for government and federally funded deployments.

Compatibility
The VPM-3 accepts any standard 19-inch rack-mount equipment up to 3RU using 10-32 threaded rack rails — the industry-standard thread for most rack-mount panels, patch panels, 1U switches, and AV gear. It is not a swing-out or rotating mount; equipment mounts flat to the wall surface. Verify your equipment's rack-unit height and 19-inch form factor before ordering — the usable mounting height is 5.25 in (3RU), leaving no additional RU above or below within the mount. Pair it with a managed PoE switch or compact NVR to build a wall-mounted security head-end without a full rack footprint. Compatible with standard cable management accessories designed for 19-inch panels.
Installation Notes
Mount to wall studs or a solid backing surface rated for the load — the VPM-3 itself supports 200 lbs, but wall fastener selection is the installer's responsibility based on wall construction. The 6 in depth requires clearance behind the mounted equipment for cable dressing. Rail thread is 10-32; use 10-32 cage nuts and screws appropriate to your panel's mounting ears. Shipping weight is 4 lbs. Country of origin: Mexico.
