Middle Atlantic BL1/2 Half-space Flanged Blank Panel

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND BL1/2 is a half-space flanged blank panel designed to fill unused rack unit openings in standard equipment racks and enclosures. At 0.5U in height, this anodized blank panel provides a clean, finished appearance while blocking airflow gaps that can disrupt thermal management in rackmounted systems. It is a standard rackmount accessory installed by AV integrators, data center technicians, and electrical professionals during rack build-outs or system upgrades.

The BL1/2 is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial rack installations wherever an open half-space needs to be covered. Typical applications include filling gaps in AV racks, structured wiring enclosures, and equipment cabinets where unused rack openings remain after component installation. The flanged design allows for straightforward panel mounting without additional hardware in most standard rack configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by AV integrators or qualified technicians during rack assembly or maintenance. Power down or de-energize any active equipment in the rack before inserting or removing panels to avoid accidental contact with live components. Standard rack screws or cage nuts are typically required depending on the rack rail type. Follow applicable facility or building codes for enclosed equipment installations.
