Overview
The Middle Atlantic VFD-18 is a 18RU Vented Front Door specifically designed for DWR or ERK Series Racks, providing both security and optimal airflow for your rack-mounted equipment. This front door is an essential addition to any DWR or ERK rack setup, offering a balance of protection and ventilation to ensure the reliable performance of your housed components.
One of the key features of the VFD-18 is its 25% open area perforation. This high percentage of open space is crucial for maintaining proper airflow within the rack, allowing heat generated by the equipment to dissipate efficiently. The enhanced ventilation helps prevent overheating, ensuring that your sensitive devices operate within their optimal temperature ranges. This makes the VFD-18 particularly suitable for environments where thermal management is a priority, such as data centers, AV installations, and networking closets.
The door is designed with beveled corners, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the rack but also provide a modern and sleek appearance. The stylish design complements the professional look of the DWR or ERK Series Racks, making the VFD-18 an attractive addition to any technical environment.
Flexibility in installation is another advantage of the VFD-18. The door is engineered to hinge either to the left or right, depending on your specific setup requirements. This reversible hinging allows you to customize the access to your rack, making it more convenient to manage and maintain your equipment based on the layout of your space.
Security is also a key consideration in the design of the VFD-18. The door comes with a built-in keylock, providing an additional layer of protection for your valuable equipment. This keylock ensures that only authorized personnel can access the contents of the rack, safeguarding against unauthorized tampering or interference.
Constructed from durable materials, the VFD-18 is finished in a black textured powder coat. This finish not only adds to the door's sleek appearance but also provides robust protection against scratches, corrosion, and general wear and tear. The black textured finish is designed to withstand the rigors of professional environments, ensuring that the door maintains its functionality and looks over time.
