Siemon has released new tool-less blanking panels designed to help improve thermal efficiency by preventing airflow through vacant rack-mount spaces within cabinets and enclosures.
By isolating the front airspace of the cabinet and blocking recirculation of hot air, the blanking panels keep cold air directed at the equipment where it is needed, preventing overheating and improving cooling system effectiveness.
These durable, lightweight blank filler panels simply snap into the square holes of vacant rack unit spaces, with no tools required for fitting. According to Siemon, the new blanking panels are also ideal for aesthetically concealing openings and reserving rack unit positions for future use, and they are easily removed when necessary.
The panels are offered in a 1U height for maximum flexibility and bulk packaging of ten. Siemon also offers a variety of other flat and angled blank filler panels in several rack-unit sizes, including brush guard panels that allow cables to pass through while still providing thermal protection to maintain isolation.
