Middle Atlantic AP-6 6U Hinged Aluminum Blank Rack Access Panel
Overview
The Middle Atlantic AP-6 is a 6-space (6U / 10.50 in.) hinged blank access panel built for standard 19-inch equipment racks. It fills unused rack real estate while giving technicians hinged access to cable runs, patch points, or rear-mounted gear behind the panel — no need to remove a fixed blank when you need to reach inside. At 1.4 in. deep and constructed from aluminum with a flat black powder coat finish, it keeps the rack face clean and professional without adding meaningful weight. The AP-6 mounts via two rack points, fits any EIA-standard 19-inch rack, and ships as a single unit.
Compatibility
Fits any Middle Atlantic rack enclosure or third-party EIA-310-compliant 19-inch open-frame or enclosed rack. This includes Middle Atlantic's BGR, ERK, WRK, and WMRK series rack and wall-mount enclosures, as well as standard two-post and four-post open-frame racks used in NVR and network equipment deployments. The 19-inch panel width and 6U height are universal across these formats — no adapter hardware needed. Pair with other rack accessories and blanking panels to fill remaining open spaces and maintain proper airflow management in mixed-equipment installations.
Installation Notes
Mounts via 2 rack points using standard rack screws (not included — use M6, 10-32, or 12-24 depending on your rack's thread type). The hinged design swings open without tools, making this practical in structured cabling and patch management situations where technicians need periodic access to the space behind the panel. At 2.2 lbs. shipping weight, handling is straightforward for a single installer.
