Product Overview The Middle Atlantic FILTER is a 3-rack-space washable filter kit housed in an 18-gauge perforated steel panel. It can be used as a filtered vent panel mounted in rack openings or installed directly over fans to filter incoming air before it reaches equipment. The 1-inch thick washable filter slows contaminant entry in uncontrolled or dusty environments, protecting equipment over long deployment periods. Product Description The FILTER kit from Middle Atlantic Products is a 3-rack-space filtration panel designed for rack enclosures deployed in environments where dust, fibers, or other airborne contaminants are a concern. The filter material is 1 inch thick and held within an 18-gauge perforated steel panel that provides structural support while allowing airflow through the filter. The washable construction means the filter can be cleaned and reused rather than replaced, which reduces maintenance costs over the life of the installation. The panel can be mounted in rack openings as a filtered vent panel, providing filtered passive airflow, or installed directly over fans to filter the air being actively drawn into the rack. Occupying 3 rack spaces, this filter panel is sized to match standard 3-space fan panels and vent panels. Rack environments in schools, churches, retail spaces, and industrial settings often have more airborne particulates than controlled data centers, making this filter panel a practical protection measure for AV equipment.
