Hammond PBPA19014BK 8U 19 in Aluminum Rack Blanking Panel

PBPA19014BK is an 8U aluminum rack blanking panel measuring 14.00 in (356 mm) high and 19.00 in (483 mm) wide, finished in matte black (RAL9005). It is intended for IT, telecom and AV teams who need to close off unused rack space in a 19 in EIA-compliant rack so cooling air is directed through equipment instead of recirculating around it.

The panel is formed from 8-gauge (0.125 in) 5052-H32 aluminum, giving lightweight durability and corrosion resistance in rack environments. Because aluminum is lighter than steel, a large 8U panel like this one is easier to handle and position during installation. The smooth powder coat finish provides a clean, professional appearance across the rack front.

Mounting is through eight 0.250 x 0.375 in slots, matching the 8 mounting points listed for this size, and the panel spans the standard 19.00 in (483 mm) rail-to-rail width. The panel body measures 18.32 in (465 mm) wide by 13.97 in (355 mm) high with 0.12 in (3 mm) corner radii. Mounting hardware is not included, so specify rack screws separately to suit your rail type.

• Covers an 8U opening to separate hot and cold air paths
• Slotted mounting points allow adjustment as the panel is fitted
• Shipping weight 3.25 lbs (1.47 kg)
