Product Overview

The Atlas Sound SPS44-25 is a pair of vented lift-off side panels designed for Atlas Sound 544-25 and 744-25 (500 and 700 Series) rack enclosures at the 44RU height. Manufactured from 16-gauge steel with a textured black powder-coat finish, these panels enclose open-frame or partially assembled rack systems while providing ventilation for thermal management. Sold as a pair, the SPS44-25 is the correct accessory when an integrator or end-user needs to convert a 44RU 500 or 700 Series rack from an open or partial configuration to a fully enclosed cabinet with side coverage.

Product Description

Open-frame racks provide maximum airflow and cable access but expose equipment to physical contact, dust accumulation, and in some environments, security concerns. The SPS44-25 side panels address these considerations by fully enclosing the sides of the rack while preserving ventilation through the vented panel design. The lift-off attachment system allows the panels to be installed and removed without tools, supporting maintenance access or reconfiguration when needed without permanent fasteners.

The 16-gauge steel construction matches the structural grade of Atlas Sound’s rack frames, ensuring the panels maintain the cabinet’s rigidity and do not flex under normal contact. The textured black #962 powder-coat finish matches the standard Atlas Sound 500 and 700 Series rack aesthetic, producing a consistent appearance when the side panels are added to an existing rack. These panels are an infrastructure-level accessory appropriate for commercial AV equipment rooms, broadcast facilities, government installations, and any deployment where enclosed rack aesthetics or physical protection of rack contents is required. Sold as a pair to cover both sides of a single rack.
