APC 1U 19" Black Modular Toolless Airflow Management Blanking Panel - Qty 200

Overview

The APC AR8136BLK200 is a modular toolless airflow management blanking panel designed for 1U spaces in 19-inch racks. Supplied in a bulk pack of 200 panels, it helps data center teams quickly seal empty rack slots to optimize cooling efficiency. Each panel is lightweight at 0.09 kg and finished in black to match APC NetShelter enclosures and most industry-standard racks.

By preventing hot air from recirculating to the front of equipment, these panels direct chilled air precisely where servers and switches need it. This improves cooling performance, reduces energy consumption, and protects hardware from thermal stress. The toolless design allows fast installation and removal, making it ideal for dynamic environments where equipment changes frequently.
