Rack accessory SCHROFF Pentair EMC end piece 3U (3HE) Model 24561

The SCHROFF Pentair EMC end piece 3U (3HE) Model 24561 is an electromagnetic compatibility closure component designed to fit 3U rack spaces in equipment racks. It closes open rack sides or ends to improve electromagnetic shielding and maintain enclosure integrity. The component is intended for use in server, telecommunications and industrial rack systems where controlling gaps and seams helps reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve the rack's EMC performance.

Advantages

This EMC end piece is engineered to provide consistent shielding performance across a 3U height while fitting standard rack profiles. It helps block airflow gaps that can act as EMI leakage paths and complements existing rack doors, panels and front/back mounting structures. The accessory is constructed to integrate with SCHROFF Pentair rack systems, delivering a practical way to restore continuity of the conductive enclosure and support compliance with EMC requirements in installed systems.

Suitable for

• Sealing unused 3U rack openings to improve EMC shielding
• Server and data centre racks where EMC integrity is required
• Telecommunications racks and distribution frames
• Industrial control cabinets and equipment enclosures
• Retrofit projects to reduce electromagnetic interference around mounted equipment

Key specifications

• Rack height: 3U (3HE)
• Function: EMC closure / end piece for rack openings
• Compatibility: designed for SCHROFF Pentair equipment rack profiles and standard 19-inch rack installations
• Purpose: reduce EMI leakage and maintain conductive enclosure continuity

How to use

Install the EMC end piece in the intended 3U rack location by aligning it with the rack profile and fastening it according to the rack manufacturer's guidance. Ensure electrical contact between the end piece and the rack frame where conductive continuity is required; use existing grounding points or conductive fasteners if recommended. Verify that the piece closes any visible gaps around mounted equipment and that it does not obstruct airflow paths critical to cooling unless alternative airflow management is in place.

Usage recommendations

Position the end piece adjacent to equipment or panels with potential EMI leakage to maximize shielding effectiveness. Confirm compatibility with the rack's mounting rails and grounding scheme before installation, and inspect contact surfaces for corrosion or debris that could impede conductive contact. For environments with strict EMC requirements, combine this closure component with gaskets or additional conductive seals where specified.
