APC 19" Modular Airflow Management Blanking Panel (10-Pack, Black)

The APC AR8136BLK is a set of ten 1U blanking panels built for standard 19 inch equipment racks. By closing off open rack spaces, the kit keeps hot exhaust air from looping back to the front of your servers, switches, and storage arrays. The result is steadier inlet temperatures and a cooling system that does not have to work as hard.

Each panel snaps into square mounting holes without tools, so one technician can complete an entire rack in minutes. The design suits APC NetShelter enclosures and any other rack that follows the EIA-310D specification, making it a practical choice for mixed-brand environments.

Every panel weighs only 0.2 lb and has a finish that is black and durable, delivering a clean, uniform look across the front of the cabinet. Because the panels occupy only the unused spaces, they are easy to remove or reposition whenever your equipment layout changes.

Data center managers, network closet admins, and lab technicians who need reliable airflow control will find this kit straightforward and cost-effective. By helping the cooling system run more efficiently, the panels can contribute to lower energy bills and extend hardware life.
