Hammond PBPA19014GY2 8U Flat Aluminum Rack Panel, Dark Gray

The PBPA19014GY2 is an 8U flat aluminum rack panel finished in ANSI61 dark gray, used to blank off unused rack space in 19 in EIA-compliant rack rails. It suits IT and AV integrators, telecom technicians and facilities teams who need to close open rack openings to keep airflow separated and give an equipment lineup a clean, finished appearance.

The panel is formed from 8-gauge (0.125 in) 5052-H32 aluminum, a material chosen for lightweight durability and corrosion resistance in rack environments. Compared with steel panels, the aluminum construction simplifies handling and installation, which is helpful at this 8U size. The smooth powder coat finish in ANSI61 dark gray provides a professional look alongside other rack hardware, and the panel corners carry a 0.12 in (3 mm) radius.

Nominal panel height is 14.00 in (356 mm) covering 8 rack units, with an overall drawing height of 13.97 in (355 mm) and a 19.00 in (483 mm) overall width. Mounting is through eight 0.250 x 0.375 in slots that align with standard 19 in EIA rack rail hole patterns, giving 8 mounting points for a secure fit across the full panel height. Mounting hardware is not included, so rack screws or cage-nut hardware must be ordered separately.

PBPA19014GY2 is RoHS and REACH compliant, TAA-compliant and manufactured in Canada, which supports government and public-sector procurement requirements. It is USMCA compliant, classified under ECCN EAR99 and tariff code 8538.10.0000, and ships at 3.25 lbs (1.47 kg). Typical deployments include data centers and server rooms, telecom and network installations, high-density racks, and both wall mount and floor-standing rack frames where covering unused space helps prevent hot and cold air recirculation.
