Middle Atlantic SB1 Steel Blank Panel 1 Space Flanged

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic SB1 is a single-space flanged steel blank panel designed to cover unused rack openings in standard 19-inch equipment racks. Measuring 1 space (1.75 inches) in height, this panel is built from steel for durability and a clean, professional finish. It is a fundamental rackmount accessory used to maintain proper airflow management, block dust ingress, and present a finished appearance in any open rack bay. Licensed electricians, AV integrators, and low-voltage technicians routinely install blank panels during rack builds and equipment deployments.

This blank panel is suited for residential and commercial rack installations where unused rack units need to be covered. Typical applications include equipment racks in server rooms, AV closets, network distribution points, and electrical enclosures. It is sold individually, making it easy to fill single-space gaps left by removed or repositioned equipment without purchasing a full kit.
