Middle Atlantic Brass Data PLT 1/2 Plug - 829CK-1/2

Middle Atlantic 829CK-1/2 Brass Data Plate 1/2 Plug

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 829CK-1/2 is a brass plug designed for data plate panels used in rack enclosures and AV/IT infrastructure builds. When a data plate has more ports than your current cabling run requires, unused openings become pathways for dust ingress, airflow disruption, and a finished-rack appearance that signals an incomplete install. This plug seats into a 1/2-size port cutout to blank the opening cleanly — keeping the panel tidy and the enclosure sealed between active connections.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Middle Atlantic data plate panels that accept 1/2-size port inserts — commonly found in Middle Atlantic's SPDP and DPB-series data plate products used in their rack enclosure and credenza furniture lines. Verify your data plate's insert format (1/2 vs. full-size cutout) before ordering; this plug is specific to the half-size opening. Not intended for use with other manufacturers' data plate systems unless cutout dimensions are confirmed to match.

Installation Notes

Press-fit installation — no tools required. Brass construction provides a more durable and rattle-resistant seat than plastic blanks in environments where rack doors are frequently opened or the enclosure is subject to vibration. Confirm the data plate panel is fully seated in the rack before installing plugs to avoid misalignment at the cutout edge.
