APC AR8136BLK200 Modular Toolless Airflow Management Blanking Panel, 1U 19-inch, EIA-310D, Black, Bulk Pack of 200
APC AR8136BLK200 — 1U Toolless Blanking Panels, Bulk Pack of 200
The APC AR8136BLK200 is a bulk pack of 200 modular toolless 1U 19-inch blanking panels in black: they snap into empty rack spaces to stop hot exhaust air from recirculating to the front of the equipment, which lowers inlet temperatures and makes cooling more efficient in data centres and server rooms.
Empty U-spaces are one of the most common causes of hot spots in racks. Toolless panels can be installed and removed in seconds without screws or cage nuts, and the modular design lets panels sit next to each other to fill any gap. The 200-piece pack suits data-centre fit-outs and multi-rack projects; single packs are available as AR8136BLK.
What's in the Box
- 200 x AR8136 1U toolless blanking panels (black)
- User guide
What It Means in Practice
- Fill every empty U at the front of the rack, from bottom to top, to keep cold and hot aisles separate.
- Panels snap in by hand — no screws or tools — and come out just as quickly when equipment is added.
- Typical gain: lower equipment inlet temperatures and less fan noise without changing the air conditioning.
- 200 panels cover roughly 4-5 fully empty 42U racks, or many partially filled ones.
What Will Not Work
- They are not cable pass-through or brush panels.
- They do not fit 10-inch racks.
- Third-party rail compatibility is not published by the manufacturer.
- They are not supplied in smaller quantities in this pack (see AR8136BLK).
