Middle Atlantic Face PLT GFI Opng 500 SER - 500-GFI

Middle Atlantic 500-GFI Face Plate with GFI Opening for 500 Series Enclosures

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 500-GFI is a face plate panel designed with a pre-cut GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlet opening, built to integrate directly into Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic 500 Series rack enclosures. It solves a specific fit-out problem: when your rack deployment requires a GFI-protected outlet accessible from the panel face — common in AV equipment rooms, security head-end closets, and any install where code requires ground-fault protection near water sources — this panel provides the correct cutout geometry to accept a standard GFI receptacle without field modification. Reference the 500-GFI by this model number when ordering to confirm series fit.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Middle Atlantic 500 Series rack enclosures and rack accessories. Verify your specific 500 Series enclosure model accepts face plate panels of this type before ordering — Middle Atlantic's 500 Series spans multiple enclosure widths and configurations. This panel is not cross-compatible with Middle Atlantic's other series (PD, PTRK, BGR, or WM lines) without confirming shared panel dimensions. If you are building out a rack power distribution layout that requires a GFI outlet at the panel face, this plate pairs with a field-supplied GFI receptacle of the appropriate form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation follows standard Middle Atlantic face plate mounting — panel seats into the enclosure's designated face plate slot and secures with the enclosure's existing hardware. The GFI outlet itself is not included; source a compatible GFI receptacle separately and verify it fits the cutout dimensions before installation. Follow local electrical code requirements for GFI circuit wiring. No special tools beyond standard rack installation hardware are required.
