1U Brush Panel without Base Plate
Upgrade your server cabinet or networking rack with this neat, low-profile brush panel designed to manage patch cord entry and exit points while keeping dust and clutter at bay.

Why this brush panel is a smart addition

• Clean cable runs: The brush slot allows UTP patch leads and fly-leads to pass through the panel without visible grommets or cut-outs, giving a tidy, professional look.
• Dust protection: The nylon brush fibres help prevent dust ingress into your cabinet interior, which is especially useful for network gear, UPS systems and CCTV equipment.
• Low height profile: Designed as a 1U-height accessory to fit neatly into standard 19-inch racks and wall-mount cabinets.
• Minimal design: This version comes **without a base plate and without rings**, making installation simple and keeping the appearance clean and unobtrusive. 

Key specifications & features

• Panel material: 0.060″ aluminum sheet (approx. 1.5 mm thick) 
• Finish: Black powder-painted for durability and a professional aesthetic 
• Brush filling: Nylon bristles designed for repeated cable ingress and egress without damage or fraying 
• No base plate / No rings: This specific model is supplied *without* a base plate or mounting rings, offering a minimal footprint and simpler installation. 

Use cases you'll appreciate

• Install behind patch-panels or network switches in your rack to allow tidy cable entries from the rear or sides.
• Use in CCTV or server cabinets where fly-leads need to pass in/out but you still want a covered opening to help prevent dust or rodent ingress.
• Retrofitting older racks that currently have open cable cut-outs—you can add the brush panel to maintain airflow while improving aesthetics.

Installation & practical tips

• Ensure your cabinet has a free 1U space (top, bottom or mid-rack) for the panel.
• Secure the brush panel into standard 19-inch rack mounting holes (use appropriate screws or cage nuts if needed).
• Position the brush slots where your patch leads need to transition—ideally near the back of the cabinet or above a patch panel for clean routing.
• After installation, push the fly-leads through the brush fibres gently; avoid overly sharp bends near the brush to maintain signal integrity and airflow.

Maintenance & longevity

• Occasionally inspect the brush fibres for build-up of dust or lint; a vacuum or compressed air can be used to clean if required.
• If you frequently add or remove cables, check that the brush bristles remain intact and haven’t frayed—damaged bristles may affect appearance or allow more dust ingress.
• Ensure the panel remains firmly mounted and that no unsecured cables interfere with the cabinet’s airflow or access.
