Digitus DN-10-BPN-01 — 1U Blank Panel for 10-inch Network Enclosures
10" · 1USheet steelGrey RAL 7035Mounting kit included
The Digitus DN-10-BPN-01 is a 1U blank cover for 254 mm (10-inch) network enclosures, made of sheet steel in light grey RAL 7035, for anyone closing empty rack units in a compact 10-inch wall or desktop cabinet.
Empty height units leave the front of a cabinet open: warm air from switches and patch panels loops back to the front instead of leaving through the rear or top, dust gets in, and loose cables are in plain view. A blank panel closes each gap with a flat steel plate, so the cabinet looks finished and the airflow follows the path the enclosure was designed for. Digitus supplies the mounting hardware with the panel, so it goes in with a screwdriver and nothing else.
Before you order: This panel is for 10-inch (254 mm) rails only. It will not span a 19-inch rack. For 19-inch cabinets choose the Digitus DN-19 BPN-01 (grey) or DN-19 BPN-01-SW (black) instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Digitus 10-inch 1U blank cover, grey RAL 7035
- 4 × cage nuts
- 4 × mounting screws
- 4 × washers
What It Means in Practice
- Covers exactly one height unit (1U, 44.45 mm) in a 10-inch cabinet. Two empty units need two panels.
- Screws into cage nuts on the front profile rails, the same way a 10-inch patch panel or shelf is fitted.
- Light grey RAL 7035 matches the most common grey 10-inch enclosures, including Digitus grey cabinets.
- The plate is only 12 mm deep, so it does not take space behind the rails away from the equipment above and below.
What Will Not Work
- 19-inch racks and cabinets: the panel is 255 mm wide and only reaches across 10-inch rails.
- Tool-less mounting: this panel is screwed in; there are no snap-in clips.
- Cable pass-through: it is a solid plate. For cables use a brush or cable-entry panel instead.
- Black cabinets: the colour is light grey. For a black enclosure order the DN-10-BPN-01-B.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy cage nuts separately?
No. Digitus includes four cage nuts, four screws and four washers, which is exactly one set for one panel.
Will it match a black 10-inch cabinet?
It will fit, but it will stand out. The black version of the same panel is the Digitus DN-10-BPN-01-B.
Does a blank panel really matter in a small cabinet?
In a closed 10-inch cabinet with a switch or PoE device, open units let warm exhaust air come back to the front. Closing them keeps the airflow going the intended way and keeps dust and fingers out.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Blank panels are the cheapest way to make a 10-inch cabinet look finished and behave as designed. Count the empty units first, then order one DN-10-BPN-01 per unit; the kit in the box is enough for each panel. You can find matching shelves, brush panels and cable managers in our
rack accessories range.
✓ Buy it if you have a grey 10-inch (254 mm) cabinet with one or more empty height units to close.
✕ Skip it if your cabinet is 19-inch, black, or you need cables to pass through the opening.
→ Also consider the black DN-10-BPN-01-B for black enclosures, or a 10-inch brush panel where cables must pass.
Not sure which size your cabinet is? Send us the cabinet model or a photo of the rails and we will confirm the right panel before you order.
