K&M Stands 49421 Panel

Durable One-Space Rack Cover for Lightweight Applications
The K&M Stands 49421.000.55 is a 1-space aluminum rack panel designed for covering unused slots in your 19-inch rackmount systems. Whether you’re outfitting a recording studio, live sound setup, or IT rack, this sleek and lightweight blank panel is a simple, cost-effective way to maintain a professional appearance and improve system performance.

Aluminum Construction for Weight-Sensitive Racks
Unlike heavier steel models, this panel is made of aluminum, offering strong resistance to warping and flexing while keeping weight to a minimum. It's ideal for portable racks or installations where minimizing overall system weight is a concern, while still delivering excellent durability for long-term use.

Flanged Style Enhances Structural Stability
The flanged edges are more than just a design choice—they provide added strength and a tighter fit within rack frames. This ensures the panel sits flush, holds steady during transportation, and doesn't rattle under vibration or movement, making it a solid choice for road cases and studio racks alike.

Matte Black Finish Blends into Any Rack Setup
Coated in a smooth black finish, the 49421 panel blends seamlessly with other gear in your rack, helping maintain a clean, uniform look. The subtle matte texture resists fingerprints and scratches, making it a good fit for high-traffic areas or frequent installations.

Essential for Airflow Management and Equipment Protection
In addition to aesthetic value, blank panels like this help manage airflow inside your rack. By sealing empty spaces, the panel can assist in guiding cooling airflow over active components, while also blocking dust and debris from entering unused slots.

Compatible with Standard 19-Inch Racks
Whether you’re using K&M racks or any industry-standard 19" rackmount frame, this panel installs easily with standard rack screws and spacing. Its universal fit ensures wide compatibility across a variety of studio, stage, or data equipment installations.
