Hammond PBFS19001BK 1U Formed Steel Rack Blank Panel, Matte Black

The PBFS19001BK is a 1U formed steel rack panel used to close off unused rack space in 19 in EIA-compliant rack rails. It suits IT and network teams, AV and telecom integrators, and facilities staff who need to cover open rack openings, tidy up equipment zones and keep supply and return air separated in a cabinet or open rack.

Construction is 16-gauge formed steel (0.057 in) in mild steel, finished in a smooth powder coat in RAL9005 Matte Black. The formed, flanged edge design adds rigidity while reducing weight compared with flat steel panels, and the powder coat finish is GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant for a clean, durable appearance. The same panel height is also offered in ANSI61 Dark Gray, RAL7035 Light Gray and RAL9003 Matt White under separate part numbers.

This 1U size measures 1.75 in (44 mm) panel height with a 19.00 in (483 mm) overall width, and it ships at 0.63 lbs (0.29 kg). The panel has four mounting points using 0.250 x 0.375 in slots so it can be fastened to standard EIA rack rails; mounting hardware is not included, so specify rack screws or cage nuts separately.

PBFS19001BK is TAA-compliant and manufactured in North America (country of origin CA), USMCA compliant, RoHS and REACH compliant, with ECCN EAR99 and tariff code 8538.10.0000 for procurement and export documentation. By blocking open U space, the panel helps prevent hot and cold air recirculation and supports thermal management strategies in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets and high-density rack environments, in both wall mount and floor-standing racks.
