Middle Atlantic Pair of Side Panels 45 Rack Units 32IN. Deep BGR Racks Steel Black - BSPN-45-32

Middle Atlantic BSPN-45-32 Side Panel Pair for 45U BGR Racks

Overview

The Middle Atlantic BSPN-45-32 is a matched pair of steel side panels designed to enclose 45U BGR-series open-frame racks at 32 inches of depth. At 82.66 inches tall and 31.78 inches wide, these panels close off the sides of a fully populated rack — reducing airborne dust ingress, discouraging cable access from the sides, and giving finished deployments a cleaner profile in equipment rooms and network closets. If you're building out a rack enclosure from open-frame hardware and need side coverage without buying a fully enclosed cabinet, the BSPN-45-32 is the direct path. The black steel finish matches standard BGR rack aesthetics. Shipping weight is 68 lbs for the set — plan for two-person handling during installation.

Compatibility

These panels are designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic BGR-series open-frame racks at 45U height and 32-inch depth. The BGR base series designation is the critical match point — verify your rack's series and depth before ordering. A 45U BGR at 32in depth is the exact target; BGR racks at different depths (24in, 28in, 42in) or different RU counts require the corresponding BSPN variant. They are not cross-compatible with Middle Atlantic's WRK, ERK, or other non-BGR frame families. If you're sourcing panels for a rack accessory build-out alongside doors, tops, or bases, confirm all components share the same BGR series and depth spec to ensure flush fitment and consistent panel gaps. For integrators specifying full server rack enclosure kits, Middle Atlantic publishes compatible door and top-panel SKUs that pair with this series.

Installation Notes

No installation-specific torque specs or tool requirements are documented in the available evidence. Standard practice for Middle Atlantic panel accessories involves mounting to the rack's side rails using the pre-drilled attachment points on the BGR frame — confirm your rack has the appropriate side-mounting provisions before ordering. The 68 lb shipping weight indicates substantial steel construction; unbox and stage panels close to the rack before attempting to lift into position.
