Blank panel Lanberg AK-1412-B Steel Black 19 inch 482.5mm

The Lanberg AK-1412-B Steel Black 19" 482.5mm blank panel is a front panel for 19-inch rack cabinets and enclosures. Manufactured from steel with a black finish, it covers unused rack spaces to create a neat, uniform appearance and helps to maintain airflow and cable organisation within server rooms, telecom closets, and network cabinets. The panel's width matches standard 19" mounting rails and its shallow depth provides a slim, low-profile cover for empty rack units.

Advantages

This blank panel is made of steel for durable, long-lasting protection of rack interiors and installed equipment. The black finish offers a consistent visual appearance with typical server-room furniture and networking equipment. With a slim depth it avoids occupying significant rack space while securely closing gaps, reducing dust ingress and improving rack aesthetics. The solid construction also contributes to maintaining directed airflow when combined with proper rack airflow management.

Suitable for

• Covering unused 19" rack units in server cabinets and network racks
• Improving rack appearance in data centres, server rooms, and office network closets
• Reducing dust entry and helping to channel airflow in enclosure layouts
• Panels for custom installations where a low-profile blanking solution is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch front panel compatible with standard 19" mounting rails
• Material: steel construction for mechanical strength
• Finish: black coating for uniform appearance and corrosion resistance
• Width: 482.5 mm (fits standard 19" rack width)
• Depth: 11.5 mm, low-profile design to minimise occupied space
• Mounting: front-mounted panel suitable for typical rack screw or clip attachments

How to use

Install the blank panel by aligning it with the free front openings of the 19" rack and secure it using the appropriate rack screws or mounting clips. Ensure the panel sits flush against the rack frame to avoid gaps. Use multiple panels to close consecutive empty units or combine with ventilation accessories and cable management elements to create an organised rack layout. Regularly inspect the finish for scratches or corrosion in harsh environments and replace if the protective coating is compromised.

Recommendations

For effective airflow management, place blank panels in combination with perforated panels or dedicated airflow guides where active equipment generates significant heat. Use appropriate mounting hardware and check compatibility with the specific rack model before installation.
