Frequently Asked Questions

A network cabinet blanking plate, also known as a blanking panel, is a flat piece of metal or plastic that fits into the unused rack space in server racks and network cabinets. These plates are designed to improve airflow and cooling efficiency within the cabinet by blocking off unused rack spaces, thereby preventing the recirculation of hot air.
While not every network cabinet may require blanking plates, they are highly recommended for most, especially those containing heat-generating equipment like servers and network switches. Blanking plates are a relatively low-cost way to enhance airflow management and cooling efficiency, which is crucial for maintaining the reliability and longevity of the equipment housed within the cabinet. Even in less densely populated cabinets, using blanking plates can be beneficial for future-proofing and maintaining consistent airflow patterns as equipment is added or removed.

I was pleased with the price and items received however the experience was somewhat marred by DX Couriers. Expecting 2 items in the shipment they only delivered 1 and tracking confirmed 1 of 2 scanned onto delivery vehicle. When I contacted DX they confirmed the second parcel was still in Sheffield at the collection depot. This meant I had to wait in a second day for the rest of the order to arrive.
