Atlas Sound CB1 – Solid 1RU Blank Rack Panel Ebony Black

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound CB1 is a solid 1-rack-unit (1RU) blank panel for filling unused spaces in standard 19-inch EIA equipment racks and cabinets. Constructed from #14 steel with a flat black electrostatic powder coat finish, it provides dust protection, aesthetic continuity, and improved airflow management in commercial AV, data center, and broadcast rack installations. It ships with oblong mounting holes on E.I.A. universal spacing for flexibility in positioning across different rack rail types. BAA and TAA compliance makes it appropriate for government and education procurement.

Product Description

Open rack spaces allow dust infiltration and disrupt front-to-back airflow in equipment racks, shortening the service life of installed equipment. The CB1 addresses both issues with a solid steel construction that closes the gap completely without ventilation cutouts. The #14 gauge steel is substantially heavier than economy alternatives, resisting warping and maintaining a flat panel face even when the rack experiences vibration in touring or mobile applications. The -052 flat black electrostatic powder coat finish matches Atlas Sound rack hardware and standard black rack equipment, providing uniform appearance in professional installations. Mounting holes follow E.I.A. universal spacing with oblong cutouts, accommodating square-hole, round-hole, and threaded rack rails without modification. The panel occupies one rack space (1.75") and fits any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet. At 19 inches wide and 5/8-inch depth, the CB1 sits flush with adjacent rack equipment. The 60-month warranty reflects Atlas Sound's expectation of long-term, trouble-free service from this component.
