Middle Atlantic C3 32 Dual Cover Black - C3-32-DCVR-BK

Middle Atlantic C3-32-DCVR-BK Dual Display Mount Cover for 32-Inch C3 Credenza

The Middle Atlantic C3-32-DCVR-BK is a steel dual-display cover designed exclusively for the 32-inch C3 Credenza series. If your operations center, dispatch console, or corporate AV credenza needs a clean, finished front panel that conceals dual-display mounting hardware when screens are retracted or removed, this is the cover specified for that job. The C3-32-DCVR-BK ships at 12 lbs and installs without tools — the magnetic mounting style means you attach it and it holds flush against the credenza face, no fasteners required for day-to-day access.

Overview

Middle Atlantic's C3 Credenza line is built for mission-critical AV and security operations environments — dispatch centers, NOCs, security operations centers, and executive briefing rooms where cable management, display integration, and furniture aesthetics all matter. The C3-32-DCVR-BK is the purpose-built cover panel for the 32-inch base series, sized at 18.5 inches tall and 1.4 inches deep (47 cm × 3.6 cm). It closes off the dual-display aperture in a black texture powder coat finish that matches the rest of the C3 credenza furniture line. At 6 lbs of formed steel construction, it's substantial enough to feel integrated — not a flimsy snap-on cap.

Key Features

• Magnetic Mounting — No-Tool Attachment: The magnetic mounting style means field technicians can remove or reattach the cover panel in seconds without a screwdriver. For environments where display configurations change (temporary screen removal for maintenance, system upgrades), this eliminates the scratch risk and time cost of fastener-based panels. Mounting hardware is included — nothing to source separately.
• Dual-Display Coverage: The C3-32-DCVR-BK covers two display apertures simultaneously — not a single-screen panel. If your credenza is configured for two monitors and you need a unified cover during off-hours, maintenance windows, or before final display installation, one panel handles both openings cleanly.
• Steel Construction at 6 lbs: This is a 6-lb (2.7 kg) formed steel panel, not a plastic fascia. Steel construction means it won't warp under the thermal cycling of an always-on operations environment, and the surface will hold its finish over years of daily contact. For AV furniture accessories in professional credenza builds, material quality directly affects how the finished installation reads to end-users and clients.
• Black Texture Powder Coat Finish: The black texture powder coat is the standard finish for the C3 32-inch series. Powder coat is more durable than paint — it resists chipping and scratching from equipment handling — and the texture finish reduces fingerprint visibility on a front panel that integrators and end-users will handle regularly.
• 18.5-Inch Height Profile (47 cm): At 18.5 inches tall, the C3-32-DCVR-BK spans the full vertical opening of the 32-inch C3 Credenza dual-display section. If you're sizing a replacement panel or confirming fit against a partially-built credenza, this is the critical dimension — verify your base series is the 32-inch C3 before ordering.
• 1.4-Inch Depth (3.6 cm): The 1.4-inch depth profile keeps the cover panel nearly flush with the credenza face. This matters in tight installations where adjacent equipment (keyboard trays, control surfaces) sits close to the credenza front — a deep-protruding cover creates interference. At 3.6 cm, clearance is not an issue in standard credenza builds.
• Shipping Weight 12 lbs — Double Product Weight: The 12-lb shipping weight (versus 6-lb product weight) reflects substantial protective packaging. Middle Atlantic ships this panel with enough cushioning to prevent finish damage in transit — relevant if you're receiving direct to a job site rather than a staging warehouse.

Integration and Compatibility

The C3-32-DCVR-BK is purpose-built for the 32-inch C3 Credenza base series from Middle Atlantic. It is not a universal panel and will not fit other credenza series or sizes — the magnetic mounting interface, height, and depth are matched to that specific base unit. If your project uses a different C3 credenza width or a different Middle Atlantic furniture series, verify the correct cover part number before ordering. This cover is a finish component for operations center credenza builds and is typically specified at the same time as the base credenza and display mounts to ensure finish and dimensional consistency across the installation.

The C3-32-DCVR-BK (often searched as C3 32 DCVR BK) is a passive component — no electrical connections, no data interfaces, no VMS or network integration. It installs after the display mounts and cabling are in place. Plan for it in your close-out punch list, not your rough-in phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What credenza series is the C3-32-DCVR-BK compatible with?

A: The C3-32-DCVR-BK is designed specifically for the 32-inch C3 Credenza base series from Middle Atlantic. It is not compatible with other credenza widths or different Middle Atlantic furniture lines — verify your base series before ordering.

Q: How does the C3-32-DCVR-BK attach to the credenza?

A: It uses a magnetic mounting style. The panel attaches and detaches without tools, which makes field access fast during maintenance or display reconfiguration. Mounting hardware is included in the package.

Q: How many displays does the C3-32-DCVR-BK cover?

A: It covers two display apertures — it is a dual-display cover panel. A single C3-32-DCVR-BK closes off both openings on the 32-inch C3 Credenza dual-display section.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the C3-32-DCVR-BK?

A: The panel is 18.5 inches tall (47 cm) and 1.4 inches deep (3.6 cm). Width is not separately specified — the panel is sized to the 32-inch C3 Credenza base series aperture. Product weight is 6 lbs (2.7 kg); shipping weight is 12 lbs (5.4 kg).

Q: What finish does the C3-32-DCVR-BK come in?

A: Black texture powder coat, matched to the standard C3 Credenza 32-inch series finish. The powder coat finish is more durable than paint and resists chipping under normal handling.

Q: Is the C3-32-DCVR-BK made of metal or plastic?

A: Steel. The panel is formed steel construction with a powder coat finish — not plastic. At 6 lbs, it is a substantial panel that integrates with the structural quality of the C3 Credenza line.

James Everett

The C3-32-DCVR-BK is one of those close-out components that gets underspecified until the integration team is standing in front of a nearly-finished credenza with an open display aperture. The magnetic mounting — not fastener-based — is the spec that actually matters on a job site: a 6-lb steel panel that snaps into position and holds flush is a 30-second task; a screw-mounted panel becomes a two-person job with touch-up paint for the inevitable dings.

Technical Highlights:

• Magnetic Mount Interface: Attach and remove in seconds without tools — critical for credenza builds where display configurations are finalized after furniture installation, or where screens are periodically swapped for equipment refresh cycles.
• Steel at 6 lbs (2.7 kg): The material weight tells you this isn't a filler panel — it's a structural-grade face component. Powder coat over steel at this thickness won't telegraph flex or vibration the way a plastic fascia would in a high-use console environment.
• 18.5-Inch Height, 1.4-Inch Depth: The 1.4-inch (3.6 cm) projection keeps the panel within the credenza face plane. In tight dispatch console layouts where knee clearance and adjacent surface heights are constrained, a panel that doesn't protrude is the difference between a clean install and a call-back.

Deployment Considerations:

• This panel is dimensioned for the 32-inch C3 Credenza base series only. If the project uses a mixed-width credenza run (24-inch and 32-inch sections, for example), confirm each section's cover part number independently — Middle Atlantic sizes these covers to the base unit, and a wrong-width panel will not seat correctly against the magnetic interface.
• The dual-display coverage is a single panel — it covers both apertures together, not independently. If your end-user needs to cover one display opening and leave the other accessible (asymmetric display configuration), this panel is not the right solution; you'd need two single-display covers if that SKU exists in the C3 line.

The C3-32-DCVR-BK is the right spec for 32-inch C3 Credenza builds in security operations centers and dispatch consoles where the furniture finish needs to read as complete even during display maintenance windows or phased screen installations.
