Middle Atlantic RFB6S1 Single Receptacle Opening Blank Panel
Overview
The Middle Atlantic RFB6S1 is a blank filler panel designed to cover a single receptacle opening in Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and furniture. In rack builds where a receptacle cutout exists but no device or outlet module is installed, an uncovered opening creates airflow short-circuits that push warm exhaust back through the front intake — defeating any cooling strategy in the cabinet. The RFB6S1 closes that gap, maintaining proper front-to-rear airflow directionality and presenting a clean, finished panel face. It is the correct part when a receptacle slot is present but unused.
Compatibility
The RFB6S1 is designed for Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and furniture lines that incorporate receptacle-style openings — including the BGR, ERK, and comparable Middle Atlantic rack and credenza series. Verify the specific receptacle cutout dimensions against your enclosure model before ordering; Middle Atlantic offers multiple blank and filler configurations for different opening sizes across their Middle Atlantic rack products line. For full rack slot coverage across an entire rack enclosure bay, pair with additional filler panels sized to the remaining open rack units.
Installation Notes
Drop-in fit into the receptacle opening — no tools required for most Middle Atlantic furniture-series enclosures. Confirm the panel snaps or fastens flush before closing the cabinet; any gap at the panel edge undermines the airflow seal. If integrating into a rack power management build with active PDU modules occupying adjacent receptacle slots, install all blank panels first to establish the baseline airflow plane before mounting live components. Review Middle Atlantic's enclosure documentation for torque specs if the specific model uses screw-retention rather than snap fit.
