Middle Atlantic BL2 2 Space Flanged Aluminum Blank Panel

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic BL2 is a 2-space flanged blank panel designed to fill unused rack unit openings in standard EIA rack enclosures. Constructed from anodized aluminum, it provides a clean, durable face that resists corrosion and wear in both fixed and touring rack applications. The flanged design allows secure, flush mounting without exposed fastener edges. This panel is a standard accessory used by AV integrators, IT technicians, and electrical contractors to close off open rack space, improve airflow management, and maintain a finished rack appearance.

The BL2 is suited for use in 19-inch equipment racks found in commercial AV installations, data centers, broadcast facilities, and industrial control enclosures. It occupies exactly 2 rack units of vertical space. Any installation requiring blank filler panels to cover empty rack slots will benefit from this unit, particularly where a uniform, professional finish is required across mixed-equipment racks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by AV integrators, IT rack technicians, or qualified electrical contractors. Power down or de-energize any active equipment in the rack before working in adjacent rack slots. Secure the panel using the rack's existing threaded or cage-nut rail hardware. No special tools or trade licensing are required for installation of blank panels.
