Middle Atlantic BGR-552FT Active Fan Top for BGR Series Rack Enclosures

Overview

The Middle Atlantic BGR-552FT is an active fan top panel designed to exhaust heat from BGR series rack enclosures in security head-end rooms, AV equipment closets, and network equipment bays. Moving 552 CFM through four 4-inch fans powered at 12VDC (120V AC input), the BGR-552FT handles the thermal load generated by stacked NVRs, PoE switches, and power supplies running 24/7 — environments where passive convection isn't enough to keep equipment within operating temperature limits. At 1.05 inches deep, it occupies minimal vertical rack space while adding active airflow where it counts most: at the top of the enclosure where heat accumulates. This is a non-controlled unit — fan speed is fixed, not variable, so there are no controller dependencies or programming requirements during commissioning.

Compatibility

The BGR-552FT is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic BGR series rack enclosures. The 'BGR' base series designation and the 22.38-inch width (56.9 cm) confirm fitment within that specific rack family — verify your BGR enclosure width before ordering, as Middle Atlantic produces BGR racks in multiple widths. This unit does not include a fan controller and is not designed for enclosures that require variable-speed or thermostatically controlled airflow; for those deployments, source a compatible Middle Atlantic fan controller separately. It is not rated for international use (120V AC input only — no 240V support).

Installation Notes

The BGR-552FT mounts at the top of compatible BGR enclosures. Input power is 120V AC; the 12VDC conversion is handled internally. No fan controller is included or required for basic operation — the fans run at fixed speed on power-up. At 9.6 lbs shipping weight, the panel is manageable for a single installer. Confirm rack top clearance and enclosure model compatibility before installation, as the 22.38 × 15.72 × 1.05-inch footprint must match your BGR chassis opening exactly.
