The DIGITUS blank panel DN-10-BPN-01 is a 1 U cover plate for 254 mm (10 inch) network enclosures. It is used to cover unused height units in the rack and is mounted in the 254 mm (10 inch) rail. The cover improves the aesthetics of the enclosure and supports airflow by sealing open areas without impairing cooling. The plate is grey (RAL 7035) and matches standard rack components visually.

Applications

The blank panel is suitable for all 254 mm (10 inch) profile rails in the network enclosure. It is used to cover empty or unoccupied height units, which is particularly beneficial in professional IT infrastructures for better overview and to prevent dust and dirt ingress. The panel is modular and can be installed in individual U units as needed.

Functions and equipment in detail

The cover plate is designed as a 1 U element, corresponding to a height of 45 mm. Its width is 255 mm and depth is 10 mm, allowing it to fit precisely into the 254 mm (10 inch) profile rails. The grey colour (RAL 7035) ensures a uniform visual appearance in the rack. The panel is supplied with mounting hardware, consisting of four cage nuts, four screws, and four washers. This fastening material enables simple and secure installation in the rail.

Technology explained simply

The blank panel is a passive component that does not perform any electrical function. Its main purpose is mechanical covering and supporting airflow within the enclosure. The dimensions are matched to standard 10-inch profile rails commonly used in IT and networking technology. The use of cage nuts and screws ensures stable fastening without requiring additional tools. The plate is made from a robust material suitable for use in server and network enclosures.

Compatibility and accessories

The blank panel is compatible with all 254 mm (10 inch) profile rails used in network enclosures. It is specifically designed for 1 U height and can be mounted at any position within the rail. The panel can be combined with other rack components to ensure full utilisation of height units.

Installation and mounting

Installation is carried out by inserting the blank panel into the 254 mm (10 inch) profile rail and securing it with the included cage nuts, screws, and washers. Mounting is simple and does not require special tools. The panel fits securely in the rail and can be easily removed or replaced if necessary.

Operational advantages

The panel improves airflow in the enclosure by sealing open areas and directing airflow precisely. This contributes to the thermal stability of installed devices. Additionally, the panel prevents dust and foreign objects from entering the enclosure. The uniform grey colour (RAL 7035) ensures a professional and tidy appearance of the rack. The simple mounting and included fastening material facilitate installation and maintenance.
