Abstract
A filler panel for blocking an unused portion of a communications system. That filler panel may include an electromagnetic shielding base and a base cover removably coupled to the electromagnetic shielding base. The filler panel may also include an air dam composed substantially of low-cost, nonconductive material coupled to either the electromagnetic shielding base or to the base cover through the electromagnetic shielding base.
Claims14
A filler panel for blocking an unused slot of an electronics shelf system, comprising:
- an electromagnetic shielding base configured to be removably coupled to and substantially cover the unused slot of the electronics shelf system;
- a base cover configured to be removably coupled to the electromagnetic shielding base;
- and
- an air dam coupled to either the electromagnetic shielding base or the base cover, the air dam configured to force the flow of air within the electronics shelf system along a length of the air dam to create a barrier to the flow of air into the unused slot.
A filler panel for blocking an unused slot of an electronics shelf system, comprising:
- an electromagnetic shielding base configured to be removably coupled to and substantially cover the unused slot of the electronics shelf system;
- a base cover configured to be removably coupled to the electromagnetic shielding base;
- and
- an air dam coupled to either the electromagnetic shielding base or the base cover, wherein the air dam and the base cover are an integral piece, the air dam configured to force the flow of air within the electronics shelf system along a length of the air dam to create a barrier to the flow of air into the unused slot.
An electronics shelf system for supporting an electronic device, comprising:
- a shelf;
- and
- a filler panel configured to be removably coupled to the shelf, the filler panel comprising:
- an electromagnetic shielding base configured to substantially cover an unused slot of the shelf;
- a base cover configured to be removably coupled to the electromagnetic shielding base;
- and
- an air dam coupled to either the electromagnetic shielding base or the base cover, the air dam configured to force the flow of air within the electronics shelf system along a length of the air dam to create a barrier to the flow of air into the unused slot.
