Middle Atlantic 1RU Flat Blank Rack Panel - Aluminum - 12 Pack

In any high‑end rack setup, clean organization is as important as the equipment itself. The Middle Atlantic 1RU Flat Blank Rack Panel in a durable aluminum build delivers a professional, low‑profile solution to cap unused space in 19" racks while preserving airflow, cable management, and the sleek aesthetics that professionals expect. This 12‑pack combines value with quality, making it an ideal choice for studios, broadcast facilities, data centers, home theaters, and multi‑rack installations where a consistent, unobtrusive look matters. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Middle Atlantic rack systems and other standard 19" enclosures, these flat blank panels are built to endure daily use and maintain their appearance year after year. Whether you’re filling a single rack or outfitting an entire equipment room, these blank panels help you achieve a clean, professional bottom line—from cable containment to dust prevention and environmental control.

  • Premium aluminum construction: Each panel is crafted from solid aluminum, delivering a robust yet lightweight solution that resists bending, dents, and corrosion. The precise aluminum composition ensures a durable, long‑lasting blank panel that stands up to the rigors of busy studios and data centers, while remaining easy to handle during installation. The aluminum material also contributes to a cooler, quieter rack environment by maintaining consistent surface properties under varying temperatures, which helps protect sensitive electronics over time.
  • 1RU height in a standard 19" footprint: The panel occupies 1.8 inches of rack space (1U) and spans the standard 19" width. This sizing makes it compatible with most equipment racks used in professional settings, allowing you to maintain a tidy, modular rack layout. The flat design provides a low‑profile appearance that blends with servers, power distribution units, patch panels, and other rack accessories, ensuring a cohesive, professional look across your rack bays.
  • Flat blank design for versatile coverage: Unlike vented or perforated panels, this flat blank panel provides a clean, uninterrupted face that blocks dust, shields equipment from accidental contact, and conceals unused rack space. The flat profile is ideal for applications where airflow is managed by other cooling strategies, or where you simply want a minimal, uninterrupted façade. The result is a streamlined installation with a high‑end finish that complements a wide range of equipment, from audio interfaces to high‑density servers.
  • Value-packed 12‑panel kit: This product is sold as a 12‑pack, offering substantial savings per panel and simplifying bulk deployments across multi‑rack environments. The 12‑panel configuration is particularly convenient for integrators, installers, and facilities managers who regularly configure racks in multiple rooms or sections. With twelve identical blank panels, you can quickly fill any unused space, maintain visual consistency, and reduce the time spent sourcing replacements for future rack expansions or reconfigurations.
  • Professional finish and compatibility: Finished in a sleek black tone, these blank panels blend with most rack furniture, equipment, and color schemes. The black finish helps minimize reflections and stands up to routine cleaning and polishing for a pristine appearance. The panels are designed to be compatible with standard 19" rack rails and mounting methods, making them a straightforward choice for professionals who value speed, reliability, and compatibility when expanding or reorganizing a rack ecosystem.

how to install Middle Atlantic 1RU Flat Blank Rack Panel

  • Prepare the rack: Ensure the rack is accessible and that you have the appropriate mounting hardware (standard rack screws and compatible cage nuts as needed) for your 19" framework.
  • Identify the location: Select the rack bay that will be covered by the blank panel. Align the panel so that any pre‑drilled mounting holes line up with the rack’s threaded rails or posts.
  • Mount the panel: Insert the mounting screws through the panel’s mounting holes and into the rack rails. Tighten securely, but avoid over‑tightening to prevent stripping threads or warping the panel.
  • Check alignment and fit: After securing, verify that the panel sits flush with adjacent equipment and that there is no bowing or misalignment. A properly installed blank panel should present a clean, uniform surface across the rack face.
  • Repeat as needed: If you are outfitting multiple bays, repeat these steps for each panel to create a cohesive and professional look across the entire rack system.
