STRONG - 1U VENTED RACK PANEL

Form meets function. This 1U vented blank not only keeps your investment cool but it also obscures what lies beneath - be it wires or other unsightly items behind the rack. Proper airflow around equipment is critical to the long-term system performance so you can't be too careful when coming up with your rack's ventilation plan.

Eliminate Convection: Convection is the re-circulating of heated air and can result in "super heating" of electronic components -which shortens their life. It is critical to include adequate ventilation to ensure reliability and long life of electronics.

Room to Breathe: Vent panels and spacing are strongly recommended between each heat-generating component in a rack configuration. Use 1U or 2U vents for most components and 3U vents for multi-channel amplifiers including many high current surround receivers.

Ideal Ventilation: Our lab tests indicate that 33% open area ventilation provides the best airflow while also obscuring the view into the rack.

Important Note: Please note: This product is not compatible with the CP-UC fan.
