In today's dynamic data center environment, IT equipment is refreshed on a frequent basis. These changes often leave open U-space in the enclosure which can allow re-circulation of hot exhaust air back to the equipment inlet. This can cause overheating of the equipment and subsequent shutdown of servers when the maximum temperature threshold is reached.

Blanking panels provide a quick, easy and cost-effective solution to optimize air circulation within an enclosure while maintaining high aesthetics.

TAB TE offers blanking panels in a variety of styles including tool-less, mechanically fastened, clear and with cable pass through options in steel as well as plastic. The width meets EIA- 310-D standards and comes in various heights (depending on style).
