Middle Atlantic 50PC. FEB1 Master Pack - FEB1MP

Middle Atlantic FEB1MP 1U Blank Rack Panel — 50-Pack Master Pack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FEB1MP is a 1U (1.75-in) flat steel blank rack panel designed to close open rack space in 19-inch EIA-standard enclosures. Sold as a 50-piece master pack, the FEB1MP is the right buy when you're commissioning multiple racks at once — rack buildouts for network infrastructure, security head-end rooms, or AV equipment closets all generate open slot gaps that need to be covered for airflow management and physical security. Sourced factory-new from Middle Atlantic's rack solutions catalog, these panels ship as a single carton weighing 33 lbs — plan your receiving dock accordingly.

Key Features

• 1U Height (1.75 in): fills exactly one rack unit of open space. In a 42U rack, uncovered slots create chimney-effect airflow bypass that short-circuits cooling — every open slot matters in a high-density head-end. These cover one slot at a time with no cutting or modification required.
• 19-inch Panel Width (48.3 cm): fits any standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure — open-frame, enclosed cabinet, or wall-mount. The 19-in form factor is universal across Middle Atlantic, Belden, Panduit, and most third-party rack lines.
• Steel Construction: rigid enough to hold form under adjacent equipment pressure without bowing. Thin sheet-metal blanks from budget suppliers deform over time and leave micro-gaps; the steel spec here maintains a flush face across the panel life.
• Flat Black Powder Coat Finish: blends cleanly with standard rack equipment without the patchy appearance of painted or bare metal blanks. Powder coat is more durable than liquid paint — resists chipping during install when technicians are sliding panels into tight slots with tools nearby.
• Flat Profile (0.08-in Depth): nearly flush with the rack rail face. Deep-profile blanks can interfere with cable management arms or adjacent equipment handles in tight rear-access scenarios — at 0.08 in, this won't.
• 2 Mounting Points: secures to both rack rails with standard rack screws (not included). Two-point mounting prevents the panel from pivoting or walking out of position over time — a single-point blank is a liability in any installation subject to vibration or regular equipment movement.
• 50-Piece Master Pack: enough panels to cover a full 42U rack with blanks to spare, or distribute across multiple partial racks on a single project. Buying in a master pack versus individual panels reduces per-unit cost and eliminates repeated small-quantity orders during a large rollout. The 33-lb ship weight accounts for the full carton — factor this into freight planning for multi-rack projects.
• UPC 656747007347: genuine Middle Atlantic product with traceable UPC for procurement systems, inventory control, and PO matching. No grey-market, no parallel imports.

Integration & Compatibility

The FEB1MP installs in any standard 19-inch EIA-310 rack — open-frame, enclosed cabinet, or relay rack. It is compatible with Middle Atlantic's full enclosure line as well as third-party 19-inch racks from other manufacturers. Mounting hardware (rack screws, cage nuts) is not included; verify your rack's rail type before ordering fasteners. Two mounting points align to standard 1U hole spacing on both rails. The flat style and 0.08-in depth make it compatible with cable management panels and brush strips mounted in adjacent slots without clearance conflicts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many panels come in the FEB1MP master pack?

A: The FEB1MP ships as a 50-piece master pack — 50 individual 1U blank rack panels per carton.

Q: What rack size does the FEB1MP fit?

A: The FEB1MP is a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) wide panel designed for EIA-310 19-inch racks. It fills exactly 1U (1.75 in) of vertical rack space.

Q: Does the FEB1MP include mounting screws?

A: No. Mounting hardware is not included. The panel has 2 mounting points for standard rack screws or cage nuts — verify your rack's rail type and order appropriate fasteners separately.

Q: What is the depth of the FEB1MP panel?

A: The panel depth is 0.08 inches (0.2 cm) — essentially flush with the rack rail face. This flat profile avoids interference with cable management arms or adjacent equipment in tight rack builds.

Q: What finish does the FEB1MP have?

A: Flat black powder coat over steel. This matches the appearance of most standard rack equipment and is more chip-resistant than painted alternatives during installation.

Q: What is the shipping weight of the FEB1MP 50-pack?

A: The full 50-piece master pack carton ships at 33 lbs (15 kg). Factor this into freight planning if you are ordering multiple cartons for a large rack deployment.
