Hammond PBPA19001BK 1U Flat Aluminum Rack Blanking Panel, Black

The PBPA19001BK is a 1U flat aluminum rack blanking panel finished in RAL9005 matte black, made to fill a single rack unit of unused space in a standard 19 in EIA-compliant rack. It suits IT and network teams, AV and telecom integrators, and facilities staff who need to close off open rack space to improve cooling efficiency and prevent air recirculation between hot and cold sides of a rack.

Construction is 8-gauge (0.125 in) 5052-H32 aluminum, giving lightweight durability and corrosion resistance in rack environments. The lightweight aluminum build simplifies handling and installation compared with steel panels, and the smooth matte black finish provides a clean, professional appearance across a rack face.

• Panel height: 1.75 in (44 mm), 1U
• Overall width: 19.00 in (483 mm) for standard 19 in rack rails
• Four 0.250 x 0.375 in mounting slots (4 mounting points)
• Shipping weight: 0.4 lbs (0.18 kg)

PBPA19001BK mounts to standard 19 in EIA rack rails through its four slots; mounting hardware is not included, so specify rack screws or cage nuts to match your rails. The slotted mounting holes help align the panel with adjacent equipment for a tidy, organized rack front.

It is part of the PBPA Series of lightweight aluminum rack panels, offered in multiple heights and finishes, including unfinished aluminum for custom applications, and is available for private label.
