AtlasIED PPR1-HR Vented Half Width 1 RU Recessed Rack Panel

The AtlasIED PPR1-HR is a purpose-built rack panel for AV integrators and system installers managing half-width equipment cabinets in permanent and semi-permanent installations. Fabricated from 22-gauge cold-rolled steel with a perforated face, it addresses two common cabinet management challenges at once: passive heat dissipation for equipment-dense racks and professional closure of unfilled rack spaces that would otherwise collect dust or invite tampering.

Formed on the top and bottom edges for recessed installation, the PPR1-HR sits flush with adjacent rack components for a finished, consistent appearance — a detail that matters in client-facing installs such as boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and control rooms. Oblong mounting holes align with EIA universal spacing, giving installers the horizontal adjustment flexibility needed when working with varied cabinet rail configurations. The textured black epoxy finish matches standard rack hardware aesthetics without requiring additional surface treatment.

Unlike blank filler panels that block airflow entirely, the perforated design allows natural convection to continue across the rack column, reducing thermal buildup without requiring active cooling additions. For system designers specifying half-width rack builds where thermal management and visual consistency are both requirements, the PPR1-HR delivers a single-unit solution backed by a 60-month warranty.
