DK7151.005 Rittal Blanking panel 482.6mm (19″) 1 U Installation height: 44mm RAL 9005

Why Choose the Rittal DK 7151.005 Blanking Panel?

The Rittal DK 7151.005 is a professional 482.6 mm (19-inch) blanking panel designed to cover unused mounting positions in network, server and IT enclosures. Occupying 1 U of rack space, it provides a clean and practical way to close vacant equipment positions while maintaining an organised rack layout.

Blanking unused rack positions helps create a professional enclosure installation and can support effective airflow management by reducing uncontrolled air paths through vacant 19-inch mounting spaces. This is particularly valuable in server and data centre environments where maintaining defined airflow through installed equipment contributes to efficient cooling.

The DK 7151.005 has an installation height of 44 mm and is finished in RAL 9005 black to complement compatible Rittal IT enclosure systems. Its standard 19-inch format makes it suitable for covering individual unused rack units in network cabinets, server racks and telecommunications infrastructure.

Clean Rack Layout and Effective Airflow Management

Unused positions in a 19-inch enclosure can leave open paths through the equipment mounting area. Installing the Rittal DK 7151.005 closes an unused 1 U position, improving the appearance of the rack and helping create a more controlled internal arrangement around active IT equipment.

In installations using defined front-to-rear cooling, blanking panels can also help reduce recirculation of warm exhaust air through vacant rack positions. The DK 7151.005 therefore provides a simple accessory for improving rack organisation while supporting appropriate thermal management practices in server rooms and data centres.

• Covering unused 1 U positions in 19-inch racks.
• Server enclosure airflow management.
• Network cabinet installations.
• Data centre rack configuration.
