The RM2U08BKFP is a replacement front or rear panel for the RM Series rack mount aluminum instrument enclosure, sold individually. Listed as "RM2U x 8.05" FRONT/REAR PANEL", it is a 2U panel with a height of 3.50 in (89 mm) and a width of 8.30 in (211 mm) in the series ordering table. Its 8.30 in listed width and 2U height match the half-width RM2U0804 and RM2U0808 enclosures in the series table, and the long description identifies it as a replacement panel for RM2U08.

RM Series front and rear panels are interchangeable, so the same part serves either end of the chassis. That makes the RM2U08BKFP useful for engineers who want a blank panel to machine for connectors, switches or displays, or for service teams replacing a panel that has been damaged or cut for a previous design.

The panel is aluminum in black; RM Series front and rear panels are extruded aluminum 0.125" (3.2 mm) thick, finished in textured black powder coat. The drawing shows a panel length of 204.47 mm [8.050 in], a height of 88.13 mm [3.470 in], a return depth of 16.51 mm [0.650 in], a 3.18 mm [0.125 in] wall and two 4.30 mm (0.169 in) holes. The part page lists its size as 3.5 in x 8 in x 0.65 in (89 mm x 203 mm x 17 mm).

Because of the powder coat finish, panels are not grounded to the frame, and the grounding method is left to the customer. The RM2U08BKFP ships in a box at 0.64 lbs (0.29 kg) and is RoHS and REACH compliant.
