HotLok Blanking Panels - Light Grey

1U HotLok® blanking panels are also available in RAL7035.  HotLok® blanking panels have a unique cantilevered sealing vane design that eliminates the gap between adjoining HotLok® blanking panels or installed equipment.  Blanking panels play an important role in the data centre eco-system by preventing hot server exhaust air from recirculating to the front of the server rack, this helps prevent hot spots and bypass airflow.

HotLok® blanking panels achieve the following:

• Reduce hot spots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot-aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air-intake stream at the front of the cabinet.
• Deliver lower temperature conditioned air to the upper third of the cabinet, typically the hottest area and most prone to equipment failure.
• Control airflow to save energy by adjusting cooling unit setpoints.

Key Features of HotLok® Blanking Panels

• Snap-spring design offers durable, 99%+ effective seal.
• Tool-free, snap-in installation and easy-pull removal for any EIA-310-E standard openings using the ergonomically designed finger grips, which prevent injury to fingernails and knuckles.
• Cantilevered sealing vanes eliminate the gap between adjoining HotLok® blanking panels or with installed equipment.
• HotLok® blanking panels are stackable with 1U HotLok® stacking 10 high making it easy to store and ready to use.
