Lightware Rack Cover Half Rack shelf false faceplates in 1/2 RU width - 55400272

Product Overview

The Lightware Rack Cover Half Rack Shelf is a blank faceplate panel designed to fill unused half-rack-width space within a 1U rack shelf opening. When a Lightware half-rack shelf contains only one device rather than two, this cover blanks the open side to maintain rack airflow, improve appearance, and prevent accidental access to internal rack wiring. It is the correct blanking panel for use with the Lightware Rack Shelf 1U Half-Rack accessory. Available from Creation Networks.

Product Description

Blank panels in equipment racks are not merely cosmetic — they maintain directed airflow through rack-mounted equipment by preventing hot air recirculation from the rear of the rack to the front intake of other devices. The Lightware Rack Cover is sized precisely for the half-rack-width opening left by a single Lightware compact device within the 1U shelf. It attaches securely to the shelf and presents a clean front face consistent with the appearance of installed Lightware units. For installations where both half-rack positions in a shelf are occupied, this cover is not required. This accessory is part of Lightware's rack mounting system alongside the Rack Shelf 1U Half-Rack (sold separately). Purchase through Creation Networks.
