1U 19in Steel Blank Panel
The STARTECH BLANKB1 is a 1U blanking panel designed for 19in server racks and cabinets. It fills empty rack space to maintain proper airflow management in server rooms and data centres. The panel suits network administrators and IT professionals organising standard EIA RS310-C compliant enclosures.
Steel Construction and Airflow Management
Built from 1.2mm thick SPCC cold rolled steel with a black powder coating, the panel matches most rack and cabinet finishes. Its rigid steel frame blocks unused rack units to prevent hot air recirculation and maintain cooling efficiency. The durable finish resists wear in dense server environments.
EIA RS310-C Standard Compliance
This blank panel conforms to the EIA RS310-C industry standard for 19in rack mounting. It fits any 310 compliant rack or cabinet with universal hole spacing. Installers who need a different U height or a tool-less fastening method will require an alternative panel.

Questions about this item
How is the 1U steel blank panel installed in a 19in rack, and what step is often missed?
Align the panel with the rack's EIA RS310-C mounting holes, insert cage nuts if the rails are unthreaded, then secure with screws; the step often missed is confirming cage nuts are fully seated before tightening.
What maintenance or replacement will the SPCC cold-rolled steel panel with 1.2mm thickness need over time?
The powder-coated finish resists corrosion; inspect periodically for scratches or bent flanges and replace the panel only if structural damage prevents a flush fit in the rack.
What limit appears first when the blank panel is used continuously in a high-density airflow setup?
The 1.2mm steel can deflect slightly under extreme positive pressure, so the first limit is maintaining a tight seal against adjacent equipment to prevent air bypass.
