APC Airflow Management Blanking Panel Kit (1U, 2U, 4U, 8U) Black

The APC AR8101BLK is a kit designed to improve the cooling efficiency of your server rack by sealing off unused spaces. It includes blanking panels in multiple sizes—1U, 2U, 4U, and 8U—that fit racks up to 15U in height. By blocking gaps where air could bypass your equipment, these panels help reduce air recirculation and maintain consistent airflow, which supports stable temperatures and reliable operation of your hardware.

Each panel is 19 inches wide and only 0.1 inches deep, making them easy to install in front-mounted positions without taking up extra space. The kit’s black finish offers a clean, professional look that blends well in any data center or server room environment. Weighing just over six pounds, the panels are lightweight yet sturdy enough for long-term use. The included mounting hardware simplifies installation, so you can quickly set up the panels and start optimizing your rack’s airflow.

This kit is ideal for IT professionals and data center managers who want a straightforward, effective way to enhance cooling performance and protect their equipment from overheating. Whether you’re managing a small server room or a larger data center, these blanking panels help maintain an even temperature distribution, which can extend the life of your devices and improve overall system reliability.
