2U Blank Panel for 19-Inch Racks

The Middle Atlantic EB2 is a 16-gauge steel blanking panel designed to fill unused 2U space in standard 19-inch server racks. It suits data-centre managers and installers who need a simple, durable cover for empty rack units.

Flanged Steel Construction

The panel uses a flanged design that mounts directly to the rack rails with standard screws. A black powder-coat finish resists scratches and corrosion, while the 16-gauge steel provides rigid coverage that will not bow under normal handling.

2U Height Fills One Rack Unit

This panel occupies exactly one 2U opening, blocking airflow gaps and maintaining a clean front appearance. Buyers needing to cover larger or smaller openings, or who require tool-less snap-in blanks, will need a different panel size or style.

Questions about this item

Does the 19" flanged panel fit standard rack widths?

Yes, the 19" width matches standard rack mounting dimensions for server cabinets.

What rack depth or hardware is required to mount the 16-gauge steel panel?

The flanged design bolts directly to the front rack rails using standard cage nuts or screws; no specific depth is needed.

How is the 2U blank panel installed, and what step is often missed?

Align the flanged holes with the rack rail holes, insert screws through all four corners, and tighten evenly so the panel sits flat without gaps.
