Middle Atlantic VBK-E28 Vent Block Kit 28 Depth

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND VBK-E28 is a vent block kit designed for use with rack enclosures and equipment cabinets. Vent block kits seal open airflow pathways within a rack chassis, directing cooling airflow through active equipment rather than allowing it to bypass through unused spaces. This type of accessory is a standard component in structured cabling, AV, and data center rack builds where thermal management is critical to equipment reliability. Installation is typically performed by rack systems integrators, AV technicians, or IT infrastructure professionals.

The VBK-E28 is suited for rack enclosure installations requiring airflow management at 28 inches of cabinet depth. It is used in applications where blanking panels or vent blocking is needed to prevent hot air recirculation and maintain consistent front-to-back airflow patterns. This kit is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new rack builds and retrofit thermal management upgrades in existing enclosures.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation of vent block kits is generally performed by rack systems technicians or AV infrastructure installers. Power down or de-energize any active equipment in the rack before working inside the enclosure. Ensure the kit is seated fully and securely to prevent airflow gaps that would reduce its effectiveness. Follow the enclosure manufacturer's instructions for proper placement within the cabinet depth.
