Vertiv SC69148 91-Inch Side CAR Rack Filler Panel
Overview
The Vertiv SC69148 is a Side CAR (Column Aisle Raceway) filler panel measuring 91 inches high by 6 inches wide by 48 inches deep, purpose-built to integrate with Vertiv's ES-series open-frame and enclosure rack line. If you're closing off an unused side column on an ES rack row — containing cable runs, blocking aisle cross-traffic, or completing a hot/cold aisle containment boundary — this panel drops into place without field modification. It is a mechanical accessory, not a powered or networked device.
The SC69148 targets data center row-level infrastructure where partial rack fills or end-of-row gaps create airflow bypass or cable management problems. At 6 inches wide, this panel fills the standard side column dimension used across the ES family without encroaching on adjacent rack usable depth.
Key Features
- 91-Inch Full-Height Coverage: Spans the full height of a standard ES rack column — no stacking of partial fillers, no gaps that become airflow bypass paths in containment deployments.
- 6-Inch Column Width: Matches the side column dimension across the ES rack family, so it installs without shimming or custom brackets. Correct fit on the first try matters when you're closing out a rack row during a live deployment.
- 48-Inch Depth: Aligns with the deeper ES cabinet configurations (48-inch depth variants), giving you full side coverage without overhanging adjacent floor tiles or blocking rear cable access paths.
- ES Series Compatibility: Verified compatible with the full ES depth and height matrix — 79-, 84-, and 91-inch heights in both 42- and 48-inch depths — meaning the SC69148 coexists alongside mixed-height ES cabinets in the same row without creating mismatched side gaps.
- Pairs with LRB Accessories: The compatible part list includes LRB-12, LRB-12A1, LRB-12A2, LRB-24, LRB-24A1, and LRB-24A2 accessories across all ES sizes, giving you a complete row-build option without sourcing from multiple manufacturers.
Integration & Compatibility
The SC69148 is designed exclusively for the Vertiv ES rack series. Compatible enclosure models confirmed in evidence include SC129148, SC69142, SCP9148, SC128448, SC68448, SCP8448, SC128442, SC68442, SCP8442, SC127948, SC67948, SCP7948, SC127942, SC67942, and SCP7942 — covering the full ES height and depth matrix. If your row includes a mix of 42-inch and 48-inch depth ES cabinets, verify your row-end depth before ordering: the SC69148 is the 48-inch depth variant; the 42-inch depth equivalent is a separate SKU.
The LRB accessory line (LRB-12 through LRB-24A2) is listed as compatible across all ES sizes, so row-level bussing and cable management accessories can be ordered alongside this panel without a separate compatibility check.

If you're building out a structured data center infrastructure row, pair this side panel with the appropriate ES cabinet and LRB cable management accessories for a clean, compliant row build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which rack series is the SC69148 compatible with?
A: The SC69148 is compatible with the Vertiv ES rack series across all height and depth variants — 79, 84, and 91 inches tall, in both 42-inch and 48-inch depths. The full compatible model list includes SC129148, SC69142, SCP9148, SC128448, SC68448, SCP8448, SC128442, SC68442, SCP8442, SC127948, SC67948, SCP7948, SC127942, SC67942, and SCP7942.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the SC69148?
A: The SC69148 measures 91 inches high by 6 inches wide by 48 inches deep. This matches the full-height, 48-inch-depth ES rack side column dimension.
Q: Is the SC69148 the correct panel for a 42-inch depth ES rack?
A: No. The SC69148 is the 48-inch depth variant. For 42-inch depth ES cabinets, a separate SKU applies — confirm the depth of your installed ES cabinets before ordering to avoid a return.
Q: What LRB accessories are compatible with the SC69148?
A: LRB-12, LRB-12A1, LRB-12A2, LRB-24, LRB-24A1, and LRB-24A2 are all listed as compatible across all ES sizes, including the SC69148 configuration.
Q: Is the SC69148 a powered or networked device?
A: No. The SC69148 is a purely mechanical panel — no power input, no network connectivity, no electronics. It is a structural rack accessory for row-level cable management and aisle containment applications.
When I spec a side panel for an ES row, the dimension match is the only thing that matters — and the SC69148 nails it at 91 inches tall by 48 inches deep, which is the full-height, full-depth profile for the ES cabinet series. I've seen integrators order the wrong depth variant and end up with a panel that either overhangs the back of the row or leaves a 6-inch gap at the rear. The SC69148 is the 48-inch answer; if your ES cabinets are 42-inch depth, stop here and pull the correct SKU.
Technical Highlights:
- 91-Inch Height: Full-height coverage in a single panel — no field-stacking of half-height fillers, which always introduces small gaps that defeat containment.
- 48-Inch Depth Match: Aligns exactly with the 48-inch ES cabinet depth matrix, covering SC129148, SC68448, SCP9148, and the full 91- and 84-inch height variants at this depth.
- LRB Accessory Compatibility: All six LRB variants (LRB-12 through LRB-24A2) are confirmed compatible across all ES sizes — you can complete the row BOM from a single source without a separate compatibility check.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your installed ES cabinet depth before ordering — the SC69148 is 48-inch depth only. The 42-inch equivalent is a separate part number; mixing depths in the same row order is a common source of returns.
- This is a passive mechanical panel with no power or data connections. If your containment design requires active airflow management or blanking panels inside the cabinet, those are separate line items.
The SC69148 is the right call for a full-height ES row build in a 48-inch-depth data center aisle — specifically where hot/cold aisle containment requires a clean, unbroken side boundary from floor to top-of-rack.
