Middle Atlantic SGL Gang Plage W/1.562 IN - FIFP-1.562

Middle Atlantic FIFP-1.562 Single Gang Furniture Insert Faceplate

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FIFP-1.562 is a single gang furniture insert faceplate designed for use with Middle Atlantic's FI (Furniture Insert) rack enclosure series. The model number directly encodes its key dimension: a 1.562-inch diameter opening sized to accept standard keystone-style inserts, grommets, or pass-through connectors. Install this faceplate wherever a clean, finished panel cutout is needed in a rack enclosure door, side panel, or furniture bay — common in AV equipment rooms, security head-end racks, and structured cabling enclosures where cable management aesthetics and panel integrity both matter. The single gang footprint keeps the opening compact, making the FIFP-1.562 the right choice when you need one discrete pass-through point rather than a multi-port array.

Compatibility

The FIFP-1.562 is designed for Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic rack furniture and enclosure product lines that accept standard FI-series furniture inserts, including the BGR, PFD, and PTRK enclosure families. The 1.562-inch hole accommodates industry-standard keystone jacks, single-port grommets, and similarly dimensioned pass-through connectors. Verify your specific enclosure model's panel thickness and knockout dimensions against Middle Atlantic's FI series compatibility guide before ordering — panel cutout tolerances vary between enclosure generations. For multi-port requirements, Middle Atlantic offers double and quad gang variants in the same FIFP series. If you are specifying a full rack accessory complement, pair this faceplate with compatible FI insert modules for a finished installation.

Installation Notes

The FIFP-1.562 mounts into a pre-cut or knocked-out panel opening in the target enclosure. No specialty tools are required beyond standard hand tools. Ensure the panel opening matches the faceplate's outer dimensions before committing to the cutout — measure twice, as rework on powder-coated steel enclosure panels is difficult to conceal. Snap-in or screw-mount retention depends on the specific enclosure generation; consult the enclosure's installation guide for the correct retention method. For cable management planning in network rack enclosures, position this faceplate to minimize bend radius stress on the cables routed through it.
