Middle Atlantic 2RU Flanged Rack Vent Blank Panel - Perforated with 25% Open Area - 12 Pack

Streamline rack organization and optimize cooling with the Middle Atlantic 2RU Flanged Rack Vent Blank Panel. This perforated, vented blank panel is designed specifically for 19-inch equipment racks and comes in a contractor-friendly 12-pack. The tightly perforated design balances airflow with security, helping to maintain a professional look while promoting efficient cooling in busy racks. Perfect for installers who value quick access, stackable storage, and reliable performance, these panels make it easy to stock the components you need most, exactly where you need them.

• The 2RU flanged vent blank panel is engineered for standard 19-inch racks, providing a precise fit that maintains rack integrity and alignment during installation and reconfiguration. The flange design simplifies mounting and ensures the panel stays securely in place, even in high-traffic environments.
• Perforated with 25% open area, this panel delivers purposeful airflow to support cooling for adjacent equipment while shielding internal components from view. The tight perforation pattern minimizes visibility into the rack interior, delivering a clean, professional appearance on stages, studios, data closets, and production environments.
• Contractor pack convenience: 12 panels per pack, poly-bagged for easy inventory control, labeling, and on-site stocking. This format is ideal for installers who routinely use blank panels and want a cost-effective, space-efficient replenishment option that reduces backorders and trips to suppliers.
• Designed for stackable warehouse storage, these panels are built to endure the rigors of fast-paced shop floors and job sites. The compact 2RU height allows efficient use of vertical space, while the sturdy construction preserves panel flatness and rigidity after repeated insertion and removal.
• Versatile application across broadcast, IT, audio-visual, and data-center environments. The vented blank panel maintains a tidy rack ecosystem, supports airflow, and fosters a consistent, professional look across multiple racks and rooms.
