Middle Atlantic OFR47-B Blank Device Plate
Overview
The Middle Atlantic OFR47-B is a blank device plate designed to fill open panel positions in Middle Atlantic OFR series open-frame racks. Blank plates serve a direct functional purpose in any structured rack build: uncovered rail slots create airflow bypass paths that short-circuit cooling, allow cable sag into active equipment, and leave sharp rail edges exposed to installers working in the rack. The OFR47-B closes those gaps cleanly without consuming a device slot — the right fill panel when a bay in your open-frame rack enclosure is intentionally left without active gear.
Compatibility
The OFR47-B is designed for Middle Atlantic OFR series open-frame racks. Verify rack unit sizing and rail hole pattern before ordering — Middle Atlantic OFR racks use a standard EIA 19-inch rail pattern, but confirm the specific rack model designation (OFR-series) matches this plate's mounting footprint. If you are building out a rack accessory kit for a mixed-device install, pair blank plates with active panels to maintain uniform front-panel appearance across the full rack height. For complementary cable management and power distribution solutions that mount in the same OFR frame, check the broader Middle Atlantic accessory line.
