Middle Atlantic BL1 1SP FLANGED ALUM ANOD BLA
Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic BL1 is a 1U flanged aluminum blank panel with a black brushed and anodized finish, providing a premium aesthetic alternative to standard steel powder coat blank panels. The 16-gauge aluminum construction is lightweight, easy to machine for custom cutouts, and delivers the refined appearance of a brushed anodized finish that complements Middle Atlantic's RSH4A custom rackshelves and other anodized aluminum accessories. For AV integrators specifying high-end rack builds where finish consistency across all panel components matters, the BL1 offers an aluminum blank panel option in a professional anodized black finish.
Product Description
Most blank panels on the market use steel with a powder coat finish — functional, but not always the best visual match for aluminum-finished rack components. The Middle Atlantic BL1 addresses this with 16-gauge aluminum construction and a black brushed and anodized surface finish. The anodized finish provides excellent durability, resistance to corrosion, and a uniform appearance that is consistent with other anodized aluminum rack accessories. The 16-gauge aluminum is also practical for custom modifications — it can be machined, punched, or drilled to accommodate connector cutouts or labels without the effort required by heavier steel panels. The flanged construction adds panel rigidity appropriate for a 1U component, keeping the panel flat and flush in the rack face. The BL1 is particularly well-suited for installations using Middle Atlantic RSH4A rackshelves or other BL series anodized panels, where a consistent aluminum finish across all rack components creates a cohesive, high-quality appearance. AV integrators working on client-facing rack installations or high-end AV furniture will find the BL1 a worthwhile upgrade from standard steel blank panels wherever panel aesthetics are a specification requirement.
