PROEL RK3L - Metal Blanking Plate for 19" 3U Rack - Black
Optimize the organization and performance of your professional equipment with the PROEL RK3L , a high-quality blank panel designed specifically for standard 19-inch rack systems. This accessory is much more than just an aesthetic piece; it's a fundamental component for any sound engineer, system administrator, or audiovisual installer looking to keep their rack cabinets clean, protected, and operating at the correct temperature.
Manufactured to the exacting quality standards of Proel , a leading brand in the professional audio and stage infrastructure sector, the RK3L features a robust metal construction that ensures long-term durability and resistance. Its matte black finish not only provides a sleek and understated appearance but also integrates seamlessly with other amplifiers, servers, effects processors, and power distribution units, giving your setup a clean and professional look.
With a height of 3 rack units (3U) , this panel is the ideal solution for filling those large empty spaces between equipment. By closing these gaps, you not only improve the aesthetics by concealing messy rear cabling, but you also actively contribute to the cabinet's thermal management by preventing the recirculation of hot air and protecting internal components from the accumulation of dust and harmful particles.
Main features

Product benefits
-
Efficient airflow management: By sealing empty spaces, the RK3L forces cool air to pass through active equipment instead of escaping through gaps, preventing hot spots and overheating in servers and amplifiers.
-
Dust protection: Acts as a physical barrier that significantly reduces the entry of dust and dirt into the back of the rack, where the sensitive connections are located.
-
Aesthetics and order: It hides the tangle of cables, strips and rear connections, offering a clean and tidy visible face, vital for presentations to clients or fixed installations.
-
Structural reinforcement: By bolting to the side rails, it helps to square up and give extra rigidity to lighter or more unstable rack frames.
