Middle Atlantic FEB2 – 2 Space Flat Econo Blank Rack Panel

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic FEB2 is a 2 space (2 RU) flat econo blank rack panel that covers unused openings in standard 19-inch equipment racks. Built from sturdy steel and finished in a durable flat black powder coat, it gives racks a uniform, professional face while closing gaps in the equipment layout. The flat-panel profile sits flush against the rackrail without a flanged return. It is offered as a single panel, a 12-piece contractor pack (FEB2-CP12), and a 25-piece bulk pack (FEB2MP) for multi-rack commercial deployments.

Product Description

Blank panels are a small line item that carries real weight in rack integration. Open rack spaces interrupt the airflow plan, expose cabling, and leave an installation looking unfinished at handoff. The FEB2 closes 2 RU openings with an economical steel panel, so integrators can blank out reserved spaces, future expansion slots, and gaps between equipment without stretching the project budget.

The panel is flat steel construction rather than flanged, presenting a clean, low-profile face across the front of the rack. The flat black powder coat finish is durable enough for repeated handling during service and visually matches Middle Atlantic racks and rackmount accessories, keeping the equipment face consistent from top to bottom. Because blanking needs scale with project size, the FEB2 family covers three purchasing formats: the single FEB2 panel for fill-in needs, the FEB2-CP12 12-piece contractor pack for typical room builds, and the FEB2MP 25-piece pack for rack farms, campus standardization, and integration shops that stock panels as consumables. Specifying multi-packs up front simplifies procurement and keeps spares on the truck for punch-list work. Complete the rack with hardware and accessories from our Middle Atlantic collection.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the FEB2 fit my rack?
Yes. The FEB2 is a standard 2 space (2 RU) rackmount panel sized for 19-inch EIA rackrail, including Middle Atlantic and other standard racks.

What is the difference between a flat and a flanged blank panel?
The FEB2 is a flat panel with no folded flange, giving a low-profile, flush face. Flanged panels add a return bend for extra stiffness; for routine blanking, the flat econo design covers the opening at lower cost.

Why should unused rack spaces be blanked in an AV integration?
Blanking closes gaps in the equipment face, supports the rack's airflow plan, conceals cabling, and delivers the finished appearance expected at commissioning.

Which pack size should I order?
Order the single FEB2 for fill-in work, the FEB2-CP12 contractor pack for a typical room build, and the FEB2MP 25-piece pack for multi-rack deployments or shop stock.

How does the panel install?
It mounts to standard rackrail with rack screws like any 19-inch rackmount panel, occupying two rack spaces.

What warranty and support apply?
The FEB2 is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty, and Creation Networks provides specification help and post-sale support for commercial projects.
