2U Flange Panel for 19-Inch Racks

The Middle Atlantic PBL2 is a 2U flange panel designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures. Its 3.5-inch height matches the 2U form factor, making it suitable for IT integrators and AV installers who need a clean, professional front or rear opening. The panel ships new and carries a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer.

16-Gauge Aluminum with Black Powder Coat

Built from 16-gauge aluminum, the panel is light enough for easy machining and handling during custom cut-outs. Flanged edges add structural rigidity, while the black powder-coat finish resists scratches and matches typical rack aesthetics. The material and finish together support repeated removal and reinstallation without visible wear.

Replaces Blank or Damaged Rack Panels

This panel upgrades from missing, bent or mismatched filler plates that leave gaps in a rack lineup. The jump is worth it when a project requires a uniform black appearance and a sturdy, machinable surface for connector cut-outs or cable pass-throughs. It does not serve builders who need a solid blanking plate without flanges or a different rack-unit height.

Questions about this item

How does the 19-inch width align with standard rack mounting?

The panel is 19 inches wide, matching the standard mounting width for 2U rack enclosures.

What clearance does the 3.5-inch height and 16-gauge aluminum require?

It occupies 2U of rack space (3.5 inches high) and the 16-gauge aluminum adds minimal depth while providing a rigid flange.

How is the flange panel secured, and what step is often missed?

Fasten the panel through the flanged edges using rack screws; the step often missed is aligning all holes before tightening to avoid stress on the aluminum.
