Middle Atlantic BG17 17U Roll Brush Gasket Rackmount

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND BG17 is a 17-unit roll brush gasket designed for use in rackmount enclosures and equipment racks. It provides a flexible brush-style seal at cable entry and exit points, helping to manage airflow and reduce dust ingress through open rack spaces. The gasket installs across standard rack openings to fill gaps around cable bundles without restricting cable movement. It is commonly specified by AV integrators, data center technicians, and IT infrastructure professionals who require clean cable management and passive thermal containment in rack systems.

The BG17 is suited for 17-unit rackmount enclosures where cable pass-throughs need to be sealed without the use of rigid blanking panels. Typical applications include server racks, AV equipment racks, and network distribution frames in commercial, institutional, and residential installation environments. The brush-style design accommodates variable cable bundle diameters and allows cables to be added or removed without fully disassembling the seal.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV integrators or IT infrastructure technicians during rack builds or cable management upgrades. Power down or de-energize active equipment in the rack before installing or repositioning the gasket to avoid accidental contact with live components. Follow the enclosure manufacturer's guidelines for proper seating and alignment of the brush gasket within the rack opening.
