APC AR8108BLK Rack Base, Door & Panel, 1U Blanking Panel Kit 19", Black

Keep rack-mounted equipment cooler and more reliable with the APC by Schneider Electric 1U Blanking Panel Kit. Designed for 19in vertical rails, this rack accessory blocks unused spaces to maintain proper front-to-back airflow, reducing hot spots that can compromise servers, networking switches, surveillance DVRs and security monitoring gear. The kit includes two black 1U metal panels (19.02 in width) and mounting hardware for quick installation in square or threaded hole rails. By preventing air recirculation and directing conditioned air to active equipment, the AR8108BLK improves cooling efficiency and supports predictable thermal performance across IT, data center, and physical security racks. The slim 0.12 in depth and durable steel construction provide a seamless fit and long-lasting protection, while REACH compliance reflects an environmentally responsible choice.
