APC FS-AC-5008-B 42-52U Rack Blanking Panel

Optimize airflow and containment at the rack level with the APC by Schneider Electric FS-AC-5008-B Rack Blanking Panel. This rack blanking panel is engineered to close unused vertical space in 42–52U racks and 800 mm HyperPod systems, helping eliminate hot spots and improve cooling predictability for servers, networking, surveillance and monitoring equipment. By directing cold air through populated equipment instead of allowing bypass, the panel supports more efficient HVAC performance and can lower operating expenses across your data center or security room.

Built to integrate with APC HyperPod deployments, the blanking panel carries CE, cUL and UL certifications for dependable, code-compliant use. At roughly 33 lb with a compact profile, it installs quickly to reduce rack build time and simplify service access. Whether you’re optimizing a server row, a telecom closet, or a rack supporting critical security and surveillance systems, this blanking panel enhances containment and protects sensitive IT and monitoring assets. Add the FS-AC-5008-B to your rack accessories to improve cooling efficiency and streamline deployments—order now to strengthen your rack-level thermal management.
