• Unmatched capacity in a compact, low-profile wall cabinet. The VWM Series is designed to maximize usable equipment space without expanding the footprint of your room. Its generous interior accommodates a broad array of devices while preserving valuable floor space, making it perfect for wall-mount solutions in both small studios and large control rooms. The 36" height and 16" depth provide ample room for mounting rails, back pan installation, and cabling pathways, allowing you to organize complex systems with clarity and efficiency.
• Split Door Back Pan design for effortless access and airflow. The innovative split-door configuration pairs with a back pan to deliver quick front access to equipment while maintaining a clean rear cabling path. This design reduces service time during maintenance and upgrades, and it promotes better airflow around sensitive equipment, helping to maintain performance and longevity in densely populated racks.
• White powder-coated finish for a professional, durable appearance. The White Finish not only enhances aesthetics in professional environments but also resists wear, fingerprints, and corrosion, ensuring a pristine look even after years of use in busy installations. The finish complements other Middle Atlantic enclosures and integrates seamlessly with a wide range of studio or data-center interiors.
• Advanced cable management and rear access for clean, scalable installations. Think organized, think efficient. The VWM Split Door Back Pan provides structured pathways for power and data cables, with rear access points that simplify routing and future expansion. This helps minimize signal interference, reduces installation labor, and makes ongoing maintenance straightforward—critical advantages as systems grow or reconfigure over time.
• Modular, future-ready interior with flexible mounting options. The VWM Series is built to adapt to evolving technology. Its patent-pending design supports modular interiors and configurable mounting options, so you can rearrange, add, or swap equipment with minimal downtime. This versatility is especially valuable in environments where equipment lifecycles are short and upgrades are frequent, ensuring your cabinet remains relevant without requiring a full replacement.

How to install Middle Atlantic VWM Series Split Door Back Pan

• Plan your installation. Choose a location with solid wall support and adequate ventilation. Confirm access to rear cabling routes and ensure there is enough clearance for doors to swing without obstruction. Gather all required mounting rails, fasteners, and the hardware provided by Middle Atlantic for a secure setup.
• Prepare the wall and mounting surface. Locate wall studs or use appropriate fasteners designed for your wall material. Verify level and plumb to ensure the cabinet will sit squarely, which is essential for proper door alignment and door seal performance.
• Install mounting rails and back pan components. Affix any mounting rails or brackets to the wall according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Install the back pan system within the cabinet footprint to provide a clean rear environment for cabling and equipment, ensuring there is ample space for heat dissipation and cable routing.
• Mount the cabinet body and align doors. Hang or secure the cabinet onto the mounted rails or framework. Check door alignment, adjust hinges if necessary, and confirm that the split doors open smoothly without rubbing. Ensure that the rear access panels align with cutouts for cables and connectors for straightforward maintenance.
• Route cables, finalize connections, and test. Begin with power and data runs, keeping individual cable runs tidy and clearly labeled. Use the rear access pathways to route cables behind the back pan, avoiding sharp bends and ensuring compliance with load and heat considerations. Power up the equipment, verify connectivity, and confirm that airflow remains unobstructed through vents or perforations.
• Perform a final inspection and commissioning. Check for secure fasteners, door clearances, and cable management efficiency. Document the installation for future upgrades and implement any recommended airflow or thermal management steps to maintain optimal performance of the mounted equipment.
