Perforated 2U 340mm Rack Covers for SCHROFF MULTIPAC PRO – rear/front ventilation panels

Perforated 2U 340mm rack covers for SCHROFF MULTIPAC PRO are metal ventilation panels sized for 2U height and 340 mm depth. Designed to fit MULTIPAC PRO enclosures, these covers serve as front or rear panels that allow airflow through a pattern of perforations while providing physical protection for installed components. They are intended for installations where space is limited and where passive ventilation or improved rack airflow management is required.

Advantages

These perforated rack covers combine mechanical protection with uninterrupted airflow thanks to a regular pattern of holes across the panel surface. Made from metal suitable for rack and enclosure use, the panels offer durability and resistance to deformation while maintaining a slim profile for compact enclosures. Compatibility with both front and rear mounting positions increases flexibility during system assembly and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Server racks and compact industrial enclosures using SCHROFF MULTIPAC PRO form factor
• Applications requiring passive ventilation or improved front-to-rear airflow
• Installations where dust protection is needed without blocking airflow
• Systems with limited depth where a 340 mm panel is required

When it may not be suitable

These perforated covers are not intended for applications that require full dust- or liquid-tight sealing, electromagnetic shielding, or structural load-bearing panels. If active cooling relies on sealed air channels, or if the environment demands IP-rated protection, a solid sealed panel or specialized gasketed solution would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Height: 2U
• Depth/Panel length: 340 mm
• Material: metal panel designed for rack enclosure use
• Mounting position: suitable for front or rear mounting in compatible enclosures
• Ventilation: perforated surface providing passive airflow

How to use

Install the perforated cover into the front or rear mounting location of a compatible MULTIPAC PRO enclosure, aligning screw holes or retention features with the enclosure’s mounting points. Secure the panel using the appropriate fasteners supplied by the enclosure or rack system. Positioning the panel where airflow is required will help maintain temperature balance inside the enclosure; ensure perforations are not obstructed by cables or adjacent components.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm enclosure compatibility with SCHROFF MULTIPAC PRO dimensions and mounting arrangements
• Verify that 2U height and 340 mm depth meet your rack depth and space requirements
• Determine whether passive perforated ventilation provides sufficient cooling for your equipment
• Check if a sealed, EMI-shielded, or IP-rated panel is needed instead

Usage recommendations

For optimal ventilation, place the perforated panel in the airflow path (front or rear) and avoid blocking the perforations with cabling or mounted accessories. Use these panels in conjunction with proper rack airflow management—blanking panels, cable guides, and intake/exhaust fans—to maintain efficient cooling and prevent recirculation of hot air.
