1U blanking panel with brush seal
The Panduit BR1B is a 1U rack accessory built from black steel. It fits standard 19-inch server cabinets and is designed for data-centre operators who need to manage airflow while routing cables front-to-back.
Airflow control with cable pass-through
Nylon brushes form a seal that limits bypass air yet lets cables pass without removing the panel. The steel construction keeps the unit rigid during installation and maintains consistent airflow management in normal rack operation.
Tool-free cable routing
The integrated brush strip removes the need to cut openings or fit separate grommets when adding or changing front-to-back cabling. Installers can slide cables through the brushes at any time, reducing rework during moves, adds and changes.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the BR1B into a standard 19-inch rack and what step is often missed?
Mount the 1U steel panel using the four cage-nut holes; the step often missed is aligning the brush opening so cables pass straight through without bending the nylon bristles.
What part of the BR1B will need replacement after prolonged use?
The nylon brush seal can wear or flatten over time, reducing its ability to block bypass airflow while still letting cables pass.
At what point does the brush seal stop containing hot exhaust air effectively?
When the bristles become permanently deformed or gaps appear between them, the seal no longer blocks recirculation and the panel should be replaced.
