On-Stage 500 Series 1U Blank Rack Panel Black 14269

SKU CH-3GJE-MPFWH

A 1U blank rack panel with 3 mm steel construction and black powder coat finish covers unused rack space

  • Protects rack gear by fully blocking an unused 1U space
  • Fits standard 500 Series rack units for seamless integration
  • Robust 3mm steel construction withstands long-term use
  • Black powder coat finish blends with studio aesthetics
  • Smooth flat surface allows mounting of additional components

1U Blank Rack Panel

The On-Stage 500 Series 1U Blank Rack Panel fills an empty rack unit to protect installed equipment from dust and accidental contact. Its 3 mm steel construction with a black powder coat finish matches standard rack aesthetics. The panel mounts directly into any compatible 500 Series rack frame. Model 14269 provides a simple, professional way to maintain airflow discipline and physical security in a populated rack.

Studio and rack installers

This panel suits technicians who need to close unused 1U openings in a 500 Series rack to meet cleanliness or safety requirements. It is not intended for builders who require a vented panel for active cooling airflow or a panel with cut-outs for cable pass-through or connector access. Buyers needing a different rack height or a non-500 Series mounting pattern should select a different part.

500 Series compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 500 Series rack standard; the panel only mounts in racks built to that specification. Verify that the target rack uses the 500 Series hole pattern before ordering. The part number 15001 confirms the exact model within the On-Stage range. No other dimensions or mounting standards are supported by this unit.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 mm steel panel need repainting or corrosion protection later?

The black powder coat finish on the 3 mm steel resists corrosion and does not require repainting under normal indoor use.

What is the first limit you hit when the panel stays in a fully populated rack?

The panel simply occupies one 1U space; the first limit is the rack’s total 1U slot count, not the panel itself.

Does the solid metal panel add noise or heat when the rack runs continuously?

The passive steel panel generates no noise and adds no measurable heat; it only blocks airflow through the unused 1U opening.
