Middle Atlantic VTB-1 1U Light Blocking Vent

Keep rack illumination where it belongs and maintain a cleaner enclosure profile with the Middle Atlantic VTB-1 light blocking vent. Built for 1 U openings, it helps reduce visible light spill from equipment bays while supporting the airflow strategy of the rack system. That matters in spaces where front-of-house appearance, equipment visibility, and thermal discipline all need to work together. The VTB-1 is a straightforward fit for integrators who want a purpose-built vent solution rather than an improvised blanking approach. By covering open rack space with a light-blocking insert, it helps create a more finished look at the rack face and can reduce distractions from internal status LEDs or ambient equipment glow. In dense AV, broadcast, and IT environments, that small detail improves the overall presentation of the installation. Use it where exposed rack openings need to be managed without compromising the enclosure’s design intent. The result is a cleaner, more controlled rack front that supports both aesthetics and airflow planning.
