Filler Panels

Fill open spaces in a rack to effectively manage air flow, adding to the rack's strength for an efficient, clean, and organized installation.

Rackit's filler panels (also known as spacer blanks) are primarily designed to fill rack space within an enclosure where there is no mounted equipment. By eliminating gaps and closing off unused sections of a rack inside the cabinet, you can better direct conditioned air flow where it's most needed - cooling rack-mounted equipment.

Rackit's filler panels cover and fill gaps or (extra) free rack-mount spaces in a rack or enclosure.

Rackit filler panels are made from the same heavy-duty cold-roll steel as our enclosures, with the same high-quality powder-coated finish.

The use of Rackit filler panels is designed to achieve a number of objectives in a rack-installation:

• Cooling and thermal management – Rackit's filler panels improve overall airflow within an enclosed rack, especially in cold aisle/hot aisle applications.  By filling up blank spaces between installed equipment in an enclosed rack, Rackit's filler panels are a cost-effective way to ensure that individual mounted devices do not recycle exhaust air.  Installing Rackit's filler panels to close off unused sections of a rack helps creating a cohesive air-conduit within an enclosed rack, thus helping control air flow created by cooling devices and exhaust fans.

• Extra Strength – Rackit's filler panels add strength to the rack, more so to a knock-down rack (such as Servit) and 2-post racks.  Some racks can experience more than twice the strength and ruggedness by simply installing filler panels at regular intervals. We recommend installing either a component or a filler panel at least every 8U spaces (17.5") for racks over 12U.

• Clean Installation – Rackit's filler panels are ideal for concealing empty rack spaces, providing a clean finished look to a rack-installation.  By filling up blank spaces between installed equipment in a rack, Rackit's filler panels provide for a cleaner and more organized appearance. Filler panels help create an attractive installation while also eliminating dust from gathering on installed equipment.

Rackit offers filler panels in a number of different styles:

TLS Filler Panels

• Built-in fasteners for quick tool-less installation
• Compatible with 19" EIA 310-D rack-mount standard racks with universal cage-nut style rails (with square holes)

TLS Filler Panels are designed to mount onto racks with universal cage-nut style rails (with square holes), and require no screws or tools to get mounted.

Constructed of flat heavy-duty steel, TLS Filler Panels are fitted with fastener latches on both on the right and left side that fit into the rack's mounting holes, hence requiring no screws to be mounted. The integrated fasteners are equipped with a removable wing-finger-knobs for easy installation.

Slide the provided wing-finger-knobs into the fasteners' slots and your tool-less filler panel is ready to be installed. A knob's quarter of a turn secures the latch in the rack's mounting hole for quick, tool-less installation. A simple turn - and the TLS Filler Panel is locked in place.

Optionally, after TLS Filler Panel is secured to the rack, you can remove the key section from the turning mechanism to prevent the filler panel from being unintentionally removed.
