Middle Atlantic Milestone FWD Lights W/ DIM Sensor 44-45U Dual - FWD-LT-UTL-44-45-D

Middle Atlantic FWD-LT-UTL-44-45-D Forward Utility Rack Lighting with Dim Sensor

Overview

The FWD-LT-UTL-44-45-D is a forward-facing utility light strip with integrated dimming sensor, sized to span a 44U rack enclosure. At 77 inches tall and 23 inches wide, it mounts flush to the front frame of a full-height Middle Atlantic rack enclosure and projects light toward equipment faces — directly addressing the technician visibility problem in dark or low-ambient server rooms and AV equipment bays. The dim sensor adjusts output automatically, reducing glare during routine work while maintaining enough light for fault identification without pulling a flashlight. This is the dual-side configuration for 44–45U enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed for Middle Atlantic 44U and 45U rack enclosures in the Forward (FWD) series. The 23-inch width and 77-inch height align to full-height Middle Atlantic frame dimensions. Confirm your enclosure model is in the FWD/UTL family before ordering — this unit will not fit reduced-depth or non-standard-width frames. The 1.46-inch depth profile keeps it within the front-door clearance envelope on compatible enclosures. Mounting hardware is included, so no separate rack accessories are required for the primary installation. If you are also sourcing rack power distribution or PDUs for the same enclosure build, verify internal depth compatibility with this lighting strip in place.

Installation Notes

Product weight is 26 lbs — plan for a two-person lift during frame installation given the 77-inch length. Shipping weight is 18 lbs, reflecting packaging only. Color is black and silver, consistent with standard Middle Atlantic enclosure finishes. UPC identification is included as an installation time-saver for asset tagging. No external power brick is documented in the evidence; verify power feed requirements against your enclosure's internal wiring plan before install.
