Middle Atlantic 45RU Side Panels for 27 Inch Deep BGR Racks

The BSPN-45-27 from Middle Atlantic is a purpose-built pair of side panels for the gangable 45RU, 27-inch deep BGR Series racks. Engineered to protect equipment while preserving a clean, professional rack silhouette, these panels combine rugged steel construction with a sleek black powder-coated finish. Their removable design makes access, maintenance, and reconfiguration effortless, so you can adapt your rack setup as your AV or IT needs evolve without sacrificing security or aesthetics.

• Precise compatibility and fit: Specifically engineered for the 45RU, 27" deep BGR rack series, these side panels align perfectly with the rack’s rails and mounting points. The result is a seamless, integrated look that enhances protection while maintaining optimal access to housed equipment. This precise fit reduces gaps and potential snag points during installation or servicing, contributing to a tidy, professional installation posture in data, broadcast, and AV environments.
• Rugged, durable construction: Made from sturdy steel, the BSPN-45-27 panels are built to withstand the rigors of daily rack use—from equipment swaps to routine maintenance. The robust materials deliver long-lasting protection for components and cables, helping to shield front-facing equipment from incidental bumps, dust, and impacts that can occur in active rack rooms, studios, and IT spaces.
• Clean, professional aesthetics: Finished in a sleek black powder coat, these side panels complement the look of Middle Atlantic BGR racks and related enclosures. The uniform appearance contributes to a cohesive, professional rack system that presents well in client-facing environments, server rooms, or broadcast suites where presentation matters as much as performance.
• Removable design for easy access: The panels are designed to be removed with minimal effort, enabling quick access to internal components for maintenance, upgrades, or reconfiguration. This convenience reduces downtime during service windows and simplifies routine cleaning or cabling tasks, helping technicians complete work efficiently without wrestling with hard-to-remove accessories.
• Optimized for gangable configurations: Built to work with gangable 45RU BGR racks, these panels support flexible rack organization and space management. When used in conjunction with other gangable components, you can tailor your rack footprint to accommodate growing equipment inventories, oversized power strips, or additional networking gear while preserving orderly cable routing and airflow.

how to install BSPN-45-27

• Verify that your enclosure is a 45RU, 27-inch deep BGR rack and that you have two side panels ready for installation. Confirm no obstructions along the mounting rails that could interfere with panel alignment.
• Power down and unplug equipment if necessary to reduce risk during installation. Ensure cables are neatly organized to avoid snagging or pinching as panels are positioned and secured.
• Position each side panel against the rack side, aligning mounting holes with the rack’s rails. Make sure the panels sit flush and straight to maintain the intended aesthetic and protection.
• Secure the panels using standard rack screws or hardware compatible with your BGR rack. Tighten evenly to prevent panel deformation, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage rails or the panel itself.
• Repeat the process for the opposite side. Once both panels are in place, re-check alignment and clearance around doors, panels, and any attached accessories to ensure full functionality and unobstructed ventilation paths.
