Half rack-width blanking panels may be used to add support to half rack-width equipment fitted with mounting flanges, ensuring secure mounting of the equipment, a tidy appearance and the integrity of rack-cooling airflow. Half-rack joining plates, punched to accept two columns of standard cage nuts, locate behind the blank panel and adjacent equipment or panel flanges.
Panels are also suitable for mounting connectors, switches, indicators or other items where an enclosure is not required and a more elegant solution such as the Canford 'Universal connection system - half rack width' which simplifies mounting a variety of connectors and switches without the need to machine the panel - is not possible. Three sizes and five finishes are offered to suit most applications and aesthetics. These panels may also be used to blank-off any unused space in Canford Rackbox, half width wall racks..

Joining Plates
