Middle Atlantic EB5 5-space Flanged Eco Blank Panel

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC EB5 is a 5-space flanged eco blank panel designed to fill unused rack unit openings in standard equipment enclosures. Blank panels maintain proper airflow management by blocking open bays that would otherwise allow hot exhaust air to recirculate into equipment intakes. The flanged design provides a secure, flush mount in standard 19-inch EIA rack frames. This accessory is typically installed by AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage contractors during rack build-outs or equipment upgrades.

The EB5 is suited for use in rackmount enclosures found in commercial AV systems, data closets, broadcast environments, and structured wiring installations. It occupies 5 rack units of vertical space, making it useful for covering larger open sections in a rack without stacking multiple single-space blanks. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard 19-inch rack frames.

Key Features

• Covers 5 rack units of open bay space in a single panel
• Flanged design secures to standard EIA 19-inch rack rails
• Supports proper thermal management by blocking open rack sections
• Eco-style construction reduces material use while maintaining function
• Single unit per package for straightforward inventory and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style filler panel for standard 19-inch EIA rackmount enclosures used in AV, IT, and low-voltage installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a standard screwdriver. Power down or de-energize active equipment in the rack before working inside the enclosure. Align the flanged edges with the rack rail holes and secure with the appropriate rack screws. Follow applicable low-voltage installation codes and the enclosure manufacturer guidelines for proper rack loading and airflow management.
