Rack accessory Lanview RAB315BL Black Steel 4U 482x15x176mm

The Lanview RAB315BL is a 4U steel blanking panel with a closed surface, sized 482 x 15 x 176 mm. It is intended for installation in server racks to control internal airflow and prevent hot exhaust air from recirculating through empty rack spaces into server intakes. Constructed of steel and weighing 790 g, the panel provides a sturdy, low-profile solution for filling unused rack units and improving airflow management.

Advantages

The closed-surface design blocks airflow between rack units, which helps maintain directed cooling paths and supports improved cooling efficiency. Made of steel, the panel offers mechanical durability while keeping a slim depth for compatibility with standard 19-inch racks. Installing blanking panels is a simple, low-cost step toward better power usage effectiveness (PUE) and gives the rack a consistent professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Filling unused 4U spaces in 19-inch server racks
• Preventing hot-air recirculation in data centre and server rooms
• Improving airflow management to support rack cooling systems
• Maintaining a neat and uniform rack front or rear

How to use

Mount the Lanview RAB315BL into an available 4U position in a 19-inch rack, aligning the panel with the rack mounting holes. Secure the panel using standard rack screws or captive fasteners appropriate for your rack. Place the closed panel at the front or rear of the rack where empty unit spaces are present to block unwanted airflow. No additional configuration is required after mechanical installation.

Recommendations

Install blanking panels across empty rack units in combination with proper hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout and adequate rack airflow policies. Use steel blanking panels like the RAB315BL where physical durability is needed; ensure panels are installed both at the front and rear as necessary to avoid hot-air bypass and to support optimal cooling performance.
