Vented blank panel Lanview RAB405BL — steel, black, 482×88×15 mm (rack accessory)

Lanview RAB405BL vented blank panel is a rack accessory made of steel with a black finish, sized to fit a standard 19-inch cabinet opening. With external dimensions of 482 mm width, 88 mm height and 15 mm depth, this vented blanking panel fills unused rack units while permitting airflow through the cabinet. It is supplied as a single piece per pack and is suitable for installation in server cabinets and network racks where unused spaces need to be closed off without obstructing ventilation.

Advantages

The vented design allows air to pass through the panel, helping to maintain directed airflow and reduce recirculation of hot exhaust air within the rack. Constructed from steel and finished in black, the panel provides a durable and visually consistent cover for empty rack spaces. Using vented blank panels contributes to improved cooling efficiency and a tidier, more professional rack appearance.
