Middle Atlantic 6 pc. SB4 Blank Panel
Introducing the Middle Atlantic 6 pc. SB4 Blank Panel — a rugged, professional solution designed to tidy and protect your 19" rack space. Built as part of the SB series, these blank panels deliver a clean, seamless appearance while preserving the integrity of your rack. Crafted from sturdy materials and finished with a textured black powder coat, the SB4 blanks are engineered for durability in demanding environments, from broadcast studios and post facilities to corporate AV rooms and data centers. With a flanged construction and 16-gauge steel, these panels stand up to years of use, maintaining their shape, finish, and visual appeal even in high-traffic installations.
- Durable construction for long-lasting reliability: Each blank panel is forged from robust 16-gauge steel and flanged for extra stiffness. This design minimizes flex, helping to protect adjacent equipment and maintain a tidy, professional rack appearance over time. The combination of material thickness and flanged edges reduces the risk of warping or deformation, even in environments with regular access and heavy cable management behind the panel.
- Elegant, low-profile finish: The textured black powder coat not only adds a modern aesthetic to your rack but also provides excellent resistance to wear, fingerprints, and corrosion. The finish maintains its deep, non-reflective appearance, keeping your front rack area looking consistent and professional as gear evolves around it.
- SB series compatibility and clean integration: As part of Middle Atlantic’s SB series, these blank panels are designed to integrate seamlessly with other SB panels and accessories, ensuring a cohesive look across your rack setup. The six-panel pack is ideal for filling multiple unused spaces, creating a uniform front with no gaps or mismatched covers, and contributing to a more organized, efficient workspace.
- Protection, airflow control, and dust management: Blank panels play a key role in maintaining system integrity by reducing dust intrusion and helping regulate airflow within the rack. A consistent front with blank panels helps prevent turbulence and helps cooling systems perform more predictably, while also keeping cables and equipment shielded from accidental contact.
- Cost-effective, scalable solution for growing racks: This 6-pack provides a practical, economical way to cover multiple rack spaces, enabling quick expansion without replacing existing panels. Whether you’re outfitting a single cabinet or a broader data center deployment, the SB4 blank panels offer a scalable, uniform look that simplifies asset management and installation planning.
