StarTech 10-Inch 1U Blank Panel 2 Pack

This two-pack of 1U blank rack panels fits standard 10-inch server racks and network cabinets. Each panel is made from cold-rolled steel with a black electrostatic powder-coated finish. The set includes eight sets of 10-32 mounting screws and cage nuts for secure installation. They cover unused rack spaces to improve airflow and reduce dust ingress.

Suited for 10-Inch Racks Only

These panels are designed specifically for 10-inch rackmount enclosures and will not fit 19-inch racks. They suit IT closets, data centres, AV racks and home labs that use the smaller form factor. Builders working with standard 19-inch server cabinets should look at alternative blanking panels. The 1U height matches a single rack unit in compatible 10-inch frames.

Critical Spec: 10-Inch Rack Width Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 10-inch rack width. These panels mount to 10-inch threaded rails using the supplied 10-32 hardware. They cannot be used in 19-inch racks because the mounting hole spacing and panel width differ. Verify your rack is a 10-inch standard before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does my rack need to be a 10-inch model for these 1U panels to mount correctly?

Yes, the panels are designed for standard 10-inch server racks and will not fit 19-inch racks.

Will the included 10-32 screws and cage nuts work with the threaded rails on my older 10-inch cabinet?

The hardware follows the common 10-32 thread used on most 10-inch rack rails, so it should match existing threaded holes.

After bolting the panels in place, how can I confirm they are improving airflow as intended?

Check that no gaps remain around the 9.92-inch width and that the 1.75-inch height sits flush with adjacent equipment, blocking bypass air.
