Middle Atlantic SPN-44-36 Rack Side Panel Pair, 44U 36-Inch Depth
Overview
The SPN-44-36 delivers a matching pair of steel side panels sized for 44 RU, 36-inch-deep Middle Atlantic rack enclosures. At 77 inches tall and 74 lbs per pair, these panels close off the sides of open-frame or partially enclosed racks — blocking unauthorized lateral access, reducing dust ingress, and giving equipment rooms a finished, cabinet-grade appearance without full enclosure cost. The black powdercoat finish matches the standard Middle Atlantic rack palette. Beveled corners reduce snag risk during installation and equipment moves. Recessed lift handles let two technicians reposition a fully loaded rack without fighting panel edges. An optional key lock is supported, adding a physical access deterrent when the rack sits in a shared or semi-public space.
Compatibility
The SPN-44-36 is designed specifically for rack enclosures in the following Middle Atlantic families at 44 RU / 36-inch depth:
- MRK-4436 — primary reference enclosure
- DRK19-44-36 — deep rack variant
- VRK-44-36H — vented rack variant
- WRK series — welded rack series, 44 RU / 36-inch depth configurations
- MRK series — standard Middle Atlantic rack series
- VMRK series — vented MRK series
- VRK series — vented rack series
Verify your enclosure model and depth before ordering — side panels are depth-matched and will not fit shallower (e.g., 24-inch or 30-inch) variants of the same series. For a different depth, Middle Atlantic offers equivalent SPN panels in matching configurations.
Installation Notes
Panels ship as a matched pair — left and right. Weight is 74 lbs total for the pair; a two-person install is practical given the 77-inch height. Recessed lift handles facilitate positioning. The optional key lock is not included in the base package and must be sourced separately if access control on the panel is required. Confirm rack series and depth match before mounting — cross-depth fitment is not supported.
