Middle Atlantic RC3RAP2 Abandon Plate with Receptacle Removal

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC3RAP2 is a blank-off plate designed to cover and retire existing receptacle cutouts in Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and panels. When a power receptacle is decommissioned, removed, or relocated during a rack infrastructure change, the RC3RAP2 fills the resulting opening cleanly — eliminating an airflow bypass point that would otherwise disrupt front-to-back cooling and expose internal components. This is a targeted solution for rack refresh projects, equipment consolidation, or compliance-driven cable management upgrades where a clean, finished panel face is required.

Compatibility

The RC3RAP2 is designed for use with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and power panels that feature standard receptacle cutout dimensions. It is intended as a companion part for Middle Atlantic rackmount power products where an existing receptacle position is being abandoned or re-configured. Verify the specific cutout dimensions of your existing Middle Atlantic panel against the RC3RAP2 before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers multiple panel and power strip families, and receptacle opening dimensions vary by series.

Installation Notes

Installation involves seating the plate into the vacated receptacle opening and securing it per the existing panel's fastener pattern. No special tooling is specified in available evidence. Ensure the panel is de-energized before beginning any receptacle removal or blank-off work. The RC3RAP2 should be paired with proper receptacle removal procedures to avoid leaving exposed conductors or incomplete terminations behind the panel face.
