Hammond C2T2423VBK1 25 x 15 in Vented Cabinet Top Panel, Black Steel

The C2T2423VBK1 is a vented cabinet top panel from the C2TV Series, intended for IT, network, AV and structured cabling teams who want to improve passive airflow at the top of a rack cabinet without adding fans. The vented pattern lets heat escape naturally from the cabinet, supporting thermal management strategies that do not rely on active cooling.

Construction is 14-gauge steel for durable enclosure protection and long-term reliability, with a mild steel body finished in painted black textured powder coat. Series finishes are GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant, supporting indoor air quality and environmental compliance requirements. This panel is TAA compliant and manufactured in North America, with USMCA, RoHS and REACH compliance declared for procurement documentation.

Overall dimensions are 25.00 in (635 mm) wide by 15.00 in (381 mm) deep, with a 23.00 in (584 mm) hole pattern span and 0.24 in x 1.50 in (6 mm x 38 mm) oblong mounting slots. Shipping weight is 5 lbs (2.27 kg). This is the non-cable-entry version of the panel, so it has no corner grommet openings; cable-entry variants in the series carry a VCE designation.

Per the series cabinet sizing chart, the C2T2423 top panel size is listed for C4 cabinets measuring 30.00 in wide by 31.50 in deep. The C2TV Series is designed for use with C2, C2RR, C4, C4RR_A, C4RR_S, C4RR_D, H1, RCK or CLC cabinet series, with H1 cabinets requiring the H1TC Series for mounting. Mounting hardware is included: the box contains the top panel plus six 8-32 clip nuts (black oxide) and six 8-32 x 0.5 in zinc-plated machine screws, available separately as CLPKIT832-6, so C2T2423VBK1 installs without sourcing additional fasteners.
