Middle Atlantic 500T SV FT Open Telecom Plate
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 500T is an open faceplate designed for structured rack installations where pass-through access, blank fill, or telecom-style panel integration is required. It mounts within Middle Atlantic rack systems to close panel gaps, provide a clean wire-entry point, or serve as a foundation layer in mixed AV and security rack builds. The 500T fits the SV FT (Slim-Vent Flat-Top) plate series — a common fill component in equipment enclosures where airflow management and a finished appearance both matter.
Compatibility
Designed for use within the Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure ecosystem, specifically the SV FT plate family. Fits standard rack accessory configurations typical in security head-end closets, AV equipment racks, and IT/telecom enclosures using Middle Atlantic frame dimensions. Confirm your enclosure's unit height and rail spacing against Middle Atlantic's current SV FT plate series specifications before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers multiple plate variants (1U, 2U, vented, blank) and the 500T designation should be matched to your specific rack model and opening size.
Installation Notes
Install into the target rack frame using standard Middle Atlantic mounting hardware appropriate to your enclosure series. The open-plate design requires no cutout work — it drops into the panel opening as-is. Verify rail compatibility and unit-height alignment before installation. If integrating into a network or security rack cabinet, confirm adjacent thermal management is adequate, as an open plate affects airflow paths through the enclosure.
