Middle Atlantic Side panels, 24 RU, 36"D SNE RACKS

Enhance protection, airflow, and professional aesthetics for your Middle Atlantic SNE RACK system with these durable steel side panels. Crafted to fit 24U rack configurations and designed for 36" deep installations, this 2-pack delivers a clean, finished look while guarding equipment and cabling from dust, knocks, and accidental bumps. With a black powder-coated finish, these panels blend seamlessly into studio, broadcast, or data-center environments, providing a polished, turnkey solution for rack enclosures.

• Designed specifically for 24U Middle Atlantic SNE RACKs, ensuring a precise, snag-free fit that aligns with existing rails and posts. The panels sit flush along the rack perimeter, preserving symmetry and professional presentation across your installation. This compatibility reduces installation time and helps maintain consistent spacing between adjacent racks in a row.
• 36" deep compatibility means the side panels extend to match the full depth of your rack enclosure, offering comprehensive side coverage while preserving access to rear cabling. The full-depth design also supports better cable management and improved airflow around equipment, helping to sustain performance and reliability in demanding environments.
• Durable steel construction with a black powder coat delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance and enduring abrasion protection. The rugged finish withstands the rigors of busy studios, control rooms, or server rooms, while the sleek black appearance complements most hardware finishes for a cohesive, professional look.
• Two panels per pack provide symmetrical coverage on both sides of the rack, making it simple to create a balanced enclosure with a consistent appearance. The two-pack format is ideal for multi-rack installations or for pairing with other Middle Atlantic enclosure accessories to achieve a unified, streamlined silhouette.
• Easy installation with pre-drilled mounting points and standard rack hardware compatibility means you can secure panels quickly without special tools. Panels are engineered for straightforward mounting, minimizing downtime and ensuring a sturdy, rattle-free fit that holds up to daily use and occasional relocations.
