Extron RFF 052 (part number 70-972-01) — a half rack width false plate that raises 1-inch tall Extron products to full single rack unit height.

Rack shelves look inconsistent and starve for airflow when a run of 1-inch tall devices sits next to full 1U hardware. The RFF 052 corrects that with a self-adhesive plate that presses onto the top of the device before it goes into the rack, filling the gap so the front panel reads as a full rack unit and the surrounding airflow path stays clear. Extron's quarter rack width sibling, the RFF 054, covers narrower devices; the 052 is sized specifically for half rack width products.

Key Capabilities

• Raises a 1-inch tall device to full 1U front-panel height
• Self-adhesive installation, no tools required
• Sized for half rack width products (quarter rack width covered by the RFF 054)
• Improves rack airflow management and front-panel alignment
• Installs before the device is placed in the rack shelf

Where It Is Used

Equipment racks and rack shelves mixing 1-inch tall Extron devices with taller 1U products, where consistent front-panel height and unobstructed airflow through the shelf both matter.
