Middle Atlantic RK-RAP16
16SP RK REAR ACCESS KIT,BLACK
Description
When you invest in high-quality audiovisual or IT equipment, leaving the rear connections exposed can lead to accidental damage, dust buildup, and unauthorized tampering.
The Middle Atlantic RK-RAP16 is a premium rear access panel specifically designed for 16-space (16U) BRK, MBRK, OBRK, and RK series wood laminate racks. By securely enclosing the back of your rack, this panel acts as an essential shield, protecting your delicate amplifiers, network switches, and processing gear from everyday environmental hazards.
Enhanced Security & Professional Aesthetics
Open racks not only look cluttered but also leave your complex cable runs vulnerable. The RK-RAP16 instantly transforms the look of your installation by concealing unsightly wire tangles behind a sleek, durable black door that seamlessly matches your existing Middle Atlantic enclosure.
To ensure your critical connections remain entirely secure in busy commercial environments, classrooms, or recording studios, the door features a robust, factory-installed keylock. This simple addition strictly limits physical access to authorized personnel only, preventing catastrophic accidental unplugging.
Intelligent Thermal & Cable Management
Enclosing your gear should never mean choking off vital airflow. Middle Atlantic intuitively designed the RK-RAP16 kit to include a dedicated 2-space (2U) top vented panel, promoting necessary passive heat dissipation so hot air can easily exhaust from the top of the cabinet.
Additionally, the complete kit features a 2-space lower cable management panel. This gives AV integrators a clean, highly organized pathway to safely route heavy power cables and data bundles out of the rack without compromising security or internal cooling.
