Middle Atlantic FEB5 5SP FLAT ECONO BLANK

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic FEB5 is a 5U flat econo blank panel designed for closing off unused rack unit space in standard 19-inch equipment racks. This economical rack blank panel provides a clean, finished appearance at an accessible price point while supporting proper airflow management by preventing uncontrolled air migration through open rack spaces. The flat steel construction and black powder coat finish make it a reliable choice for AV integrators completing rack builds where budget-conscious blank panel solutions are appropriate. At 5 rack units, the FEB5 is well-suited for filling larger unused sections in populated equipment racks.

Product Description

Open rack spaces in AV equipment racks create airflow problems — conditioned air bypasses equipment, hot spots develop, and the rack's overall thermal management is compromised. The Middle Atlantic FEB5 flat econo blank panel addresses this by providing a cost-effective 5U blank panel solution for filling open space in standard 19-inch racks. The flat panel profile keeps it low-profile in the rack face, and the steel construction provides the structural integrity to stay in place without flex. The durable black powder coat finish resists wear and maintains a clean appearance over the life of the installation. This economical blank panel is appropriate for use in any standard rack with 10-32 or 12-24 threaded rails, making it a versatile option across different rack brands and configurations. AV integrators frequently use FEB panels in multiples to fill large unused sections quickly, and the 5U size is particularly efficient for filling gaps left when equipment configurations change. The FEB5 is a straightforward, dependable accessory that completes rack installations with minimal cost and effort.
