Rittal DK 7156.005 DK Blanking Panel - 6U, RAL 9005
Part Number: 7156005
Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7156.005 blanking panel extends and populates 19" cabinets for a clean, professional look. Underpopulated frames often present gaps, dust ingress, and impaired cooling that threaten reliability. Notable standards associated with this panel include ETIM EC000456 and ECLASS 27189217, with PCF Category B providing environmental context for procurement. Designed for 19" cabinets and 6U builds, it supports easy installation, tidy cable management, and scalable expansion for control cabinet blanking panel applications and maintenance workflows. In practice, engineers rely on these panels to maintain consistent interior airflow, minimize hotspots, and preserve service life in harsh environments. The DK 7156.005 is compatible with standard 19" frames, supports consistent pop-in of components, and aligns with a modular approach to cabinet blanking solutions for scalable projects.

Product description
DK Blanking panel, 482.6 mm (19"), 6 U, Installation height: 266 mm, RAL 9005
Feature: Sheet steel construction provides a durable, stable blanking solution that resists impact and maintains enclosure integrity. Business impact: This reduces maintenance costs and minimizes flange wear during frequent door openings and component pop-in. Application: Ideal for 19" cabinets where long-term rigidity and scratch resistance matter. Feature: Precise dimensions—482.6 mm width, 6U build, 266 mm installation height. Business impact: Ensures a snug fit within standard frames, reducing gaps and improving airflow consistency. Application: Appropriate for standard 19" frames and 6U chassis layouts in control cabinets. Feature: Pack of 2 pieces with a weight of 3.4 kg per pack and PCF of 13 kg CO2 eq (Cat B). Business impact: Packaging efficiency lowers freight costs and storage space; PCF transparency supports sustainability reporting. Application: Efficient for project kits and multi-cabinet deployments in engineering workflows. Feature: Colour finish RAL 9005. Business impact: Visual uniformity with existing enclosures improves asset management and visual inspection. Application: Works seamlessly with black-framed cabinets and high-contrast identification. Feature: Compliance data including ETIM EC000456 and ECLASS 27189217; Customs tariff 94039910; EAN 4028177492134. Business impact: Streamlines procurement data, cataloging, and regulatory compliance. Application: Ideal for data-driven sourcing and ERP/MMS integration in industrial projects. Feature: Population as required and extension capability. Business impact: Enables flexible cabinet filling without over-population, reducing cost and complexity. Application: Suitable for future expansion in evolving control panel assemblies and modular cabinets.

FAQs
The DK 7156.005 is specifically designed for 19-inch enclosures and 6U assemblies, matching standard cabinet widths of 482.6 mm. Its installation height of 266 mm ensures a precise fit, making it straightforward to extend or populate frames without modifying the chassis. This compatibility minimizes integration risk and speeds up kickoff in control panel projects.
Key features include sheet steel construction for durability, a 482.6 mm wide frame, 6U height, and a RAL 9005 finish for visual uniformity. The product is packed as two pieces per pack with a combined weight of 3.4 kg and a cradle-to-gate PCF of 13 kg CO2 eq (Category B). These specs support reliable enclosure integrity and straightforward inventory planning.
Yes. By filling unused space inside 19" cabinets, it minimizes gaps that would otherwise allow dust ingress and disrupt airflow. The result is more predictable thermal performance and easier maintenance, especially in environments with dense cable routing or restricted cooling capacity.
The panel aligns with ETIM EC000456 and ECLASS 27189217 classifications, and carries a GTIN of 4028177492134. These classifications support accurate data exchange in procurement systems and ERP workflows, while the PCF Category B provides environmental impact context for sustainability reporting.
Using this blanking panel reduces the need for custom fillings and expedites cabinet assembly, cutting labor costs during deployment. Its standardized dimensions enable faster inventory management and fewer parts mismatches. Over time, improved airflow and dust control can lower cooling energy consumption and extend component life in critical control panels.
