Sorry if this is the wrong place, looking for something like this to fill in some empty rack space. Anyone have any recommendations?

Only price I found online for these was like $600+ for 10x27U ...

270 pieces for $600 seems pretty decent. They'll pay for themselves in energy savings pretty quickly especially if you have a lot of 1U gaps.

If you have large contiguous empty spots, you might be able to save money with larger panels (unless you meant you were looking at 27U ones).

Yeah I have over the years purchased 1u blanking panels like this in boxes of I guess hundreds at a time and I remember they are not cheap but you always re-use them and even if I have 3 or 4 different types I don’t really care about looks, only function.

Price seems ok I guess

Yea, if I had a dc to worry about it would be a sweet deal, I only have one 42u (half full) rack in an electrical closet. .

I’ll probably just end up with some plastic or metal blanks. If only I could find some place that would sell me just one 27u sheet...

Ty for the replies

I've used these tripplite ones in the past. Not the greatest, but cheap... The retaining tabs can break off easily.

The blanker panels that are metal and screw in are the best in my opinion, but more expensive, and can be annoying if you find yourself needing to take them off frequently.

I've also encountered some that are a more pliable material and can be easily cut to the exact ru space you need.
