Panduit Net-Contain Blanking Panel

The Panduit Net-Contain Full Blanking Panel is a precision-engineered solution designed to fill empty spaces within the Universal Aisle Containment System. By providing a tight, uniform barrier at the back of racks, it helps channel cold air where it matters and minimizes bypass airflow that undermines cooling efficiency. Measuring 52 RU high and 600 mm wide, this blanking panel arrives in a sleek black finish that integrates seamlessly with most data center enclosures, cabinet frames, and Net-Contain configurations. Whether you’re refreshing a single cabinet or deploying a scalable containment strategy across a data center, this blanking panel is built to support reliable performance and long service life.

• Maximized airflow and containment: The blanking panel seals off unused rack spaces, effectively eliminating cold air leakage and hot air bypass. This promotes consistent intake temperatures for densely packed servers and storage devices, helping to maintain performance while reducing the energy load on cooling systems. In environments where cooling budgets are tight, this panel supports more predictable thermals and helps data centers meet ASHRAE guidelines by reducing hotspots and hot aisles wandering into the equipment bay.
• Clean, professional appearance: The black finish blends with Panduit Net-Contain aesthetics, providing a uniform, unobtrusive look across cabinets. A consistent blanking surface reduces visual clutter and simplifies routine maintenance, making it easier for operators to spot active equipment and areas that still require attention during audits or upgrades.
• Easy installation in standard rack environments: Designed to fit within the Net-Contain system framework, this blanking panel installs along standard rack rails, enabling fast deployment during cabling projects or equipment refresh cycles. The straightforward installation minimizes downtime and helps IT teams accelerate moves, adds, and changes without specialized tools.
• Dust control and protection for IT assets: By filling gaps between equipment and cabinet frames, the panel reduces dust ingress and helps keep fans, filters, and sensitive electronics cleaner. This can contribute to longer component life, fewer filter maintenance cycles, and more stable performance in dusty or high-traffic data centers.
• Part of the Panduit Net-Contain ecosystem: The Full Blanking Panel integrates seamlessly with the Net-Contain and Universal Aisle Containment System, delivering a complete containment solution for data centers seeking precise airflow control and scalable modularity. Using this panel as part of a broader containment strategy supports consistent density planning and predictable cooling performance across aisles.
