Hammond PBPA19008LG2 5U Flat Aluminum Rack Panel in Light Gray

The PBPA19008LG2 is a 5U flat aluminum rack panel finished in RAL7035 light gray, made to cover unused rack space in a standard 19 in EIA-compliant rack. It suits IT and network teams, AV integrators and facilities staff who need to close off open rack openings so cooling air moves through equipment instead of recirculating around it.

Construction is 8-gauge (0.125 in) 5052-H32 aluminum, which keeps the panel lightweight while providing corrosion resistance for rack environments. Compared with steel panels, the lighter aluminum makes handling and one-person installation easier, and the smooth powder coat finish gives a clean, professional appearance across the rack front.

The panel occupies 5 rack units, with a panel height of 8.75 in (222 mm) and a 19.00 in (483 mm) overall width. Drawing dimensions show an 18.32 in (465 mm) and 8.72 in (221 mm) panel face with 1.48 in (38 mm) and 5.75 in (146 mm) reference dimensions, 0.250 x 0.375 in mounting slots in 4X locations and R.12 in (3 mm) corner radii. PBPA19008LG2 has 4 mounting points; mounting hardware is not included.

The part is manufactured in Canada, TAA-compliant, USMCA compliant, and RoHS and REACH compliant, with ECCN EAR99 and tariff code 8538.10.0000 for procurement documentation. Shipping weight is 2.02 lbs (0.92 kg). Typical deployments include data centers and server rooms, telecom and network installations, high-density racks, and both wall mount and floor-standing racks where thermal management and tidy rack organization matter.
