Server Rack Blanking Panels for Optimal Airflow
Seal unused RU space, improve airflow, and cut energy waste with modular blanking panels built for server racks. EziBlank supplies and installs premium-quality panels across Sydney, optimising rack performance and protecting your IT infrastructure from dust and recirculation.
What Are Blanking Panels and How Do
They Improve Rack Performance
A blanking panel is a plastic or metal insert that covers empty RU (rack unit) spaces in a server rack or cabinet. While small in appearance, these panels play a vital role in airflow control, thermal management, and rack optimisation.
When server racks are left with open gaps, cool air bypasses equipment and hot air recirculates, creating hotspots and wasted energy. Blanking panels force airflow through the intended intake paths, maintaining stable equipment temperatures and helping your cooling systems work more efficiently.
Whether you’re managing a data centre, server room, or office rack cabinet, blanking panels are the easiest way to improve your cooling strategy without touching your HVAC system.
EziBlank’s tool-free, reusable panels are designed to snap directly into EIA-310-D compliant racks, delivering instant performance gains with zero complexity. If you’re in Sydney or anywhere across NSW, our local team ensures quick delivery and support to keep your environment running at peak efficiency.

Improve Cooling Efficiency, Reduce Energy Waste, and Protect Equipment
Installing blanking panels is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your server racks, but it delivers powerful results across airflow, appearance, and cost efficiency.
Thermal Performance
By sealing empty RU spaces, blanking panels guide cold air through active equipment while blocking hot air from cycling back into the intake. This reduces hotspots and extends the life of your servers and switches.
Energy Savings
Efficient airflow reduces the load on your cooling systems. That means lower energy bills and better Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for your Sydney data centre or IT room—especially valuable in Australia’s climate.
Dust and Contaminant Control
Blanking panels also act as barriers against airborne dust and particles, protecting sensitive equipment in open racks and unmanaged spaces.
Professional Finish
Beyond performance, blanking panels give your rack a clean, unified look—especially useful in client-visible or open office setups.
EziBlank’s modular blanking panels come in various sizes (1RU, 2RU, 4RU, more), and snap in tool-free. For Sydney-based teams, we offer local install support and quick-turn delivery across NSW because performance shouldn’t wait.
Blanking Panel Options for Standard and Custom Rack Configurations
Not all blanking panels are created equal. Choosing the right type depends on your rack setup, cooling requirements, and operational environment.
Common Options Available:
- Solid vs Vented Panels
Solid panels seal airflow completely, ideal for hot/cold aisle containment. Vented options allow limited airflow where full blocking isn’t needed. - Tool-Less vs Screw-Mounted
Tool-less snap-in designs like EziBlank’s are ideal for fast deployments and modular data centre setups. Screw-mount types offer secure attachment for industrial or vibration-heavy environments. - Material Choices
Flame-retardant ABS (UL94-V0) plastic is lightweight and safe for most IT environments. Metal options may suit high-density racks needing added durability. - Sizes and Fit
Available in standard 1RU, 2RU, 4RU, and custom sizes for 19-inch server racks. All EziBlank panels are compliant with EIA-310-D standards and support universal fitment.
If you’re unsure what fits your current rack or want help selecting a solution based on your airflow needs, our Sydney-based support team is ready to guide you. From server closets to large-scale data halls, EziBlank helps you match your panel type to your performance goals.
