Middle Atlantic UQFP-4DRA Ultra Quiet 2U Rack Fan Panel with Display
Overview
The Middle Atlantic UQFP-4DRA is a 2U, 100 CFM active rack fan panel engineered for noise-sensitive equipment rooms where thermal management can't be compromised but ambient sound levels matter — think broadcast control rooms, AV racks in conference spaces, and security head-end closets adjacent to occupied areas. Running at 27dB, it moves meaningful air without becoming the loudest thing in the room. The integrated display gives you at-a-glance feedback on fan operation, so you're not guessing whether airflow is adequate. The UQFP-4DRA draws from 120V AC and converts internally to 5VDC for fan operation — no separate transformer or DC supply required. At 4 lbs shipping weight and a 2.96-inch depth, it installs cleanly in standard 19-inch racks without consuming valuable rear-panel clearance.
Compatibility
Designed for standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosures. Compatible with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and cabinets, including the SRSR, WRK, and PD series rack systems that are common in AV and rack-mount security equipment installations. The 2 RU form factor fits any open rack slot where you need dedicated front-to-back airflow assist. It is not rated for outdoor or high-humidity environments and is not available for international (non-US) deployment — verify your installation is domestic 120V before ordering. The panel uses two mounting points for standard rack rail attachment. For deployments requiring active thermal monitoring across a larger NVR or server stack, pair with a rack cooling solution sized to your full enclosure heat load.
Installation Notes
Requires 120V AC feed — confirm rack PDU or outlet is accessible within the enclosure. The 5VDC output is internal to the fan circuit; no external DC wiring is needed. With only 2.96 inches of depth, it clears most rear-mounted cable management. Mount in an open 2U slot positioned to draw air across the heat-producing equipment directly below or above, depending on your rack's airflow direction. The thermistor field is listed as 'No' in the specification data, meaning fan speed is fixed rather than temperature-modulated — plan airflow routing accordingly, as it will run at a constant rate rather than ramping under load.
