About this product
Gator Rackworks offers the GRW-PNLUNIKO as a versatile interface solution for standard 19-inch equipment racks. Occupying one unit (1U) of vertical space, this panel is manufactured from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel with a black powder-coated finish to provide a rigid and scratch-resistant frame for custom connectivity. The panel features 16 pre-scored knockouts that can be removed as needed to accommodate various jacks, connectors, or cable pass-throughs, allowing for a tailored configuration that matches specific hardware requirements. This modular design helps maintain an organized rack face by only opening the necessary ports for microphone inputs, guitar interfaces, or power distribution. Built to withstand the demands of live sound, studio, and broadcast environments, this steel panel ensures stability when connecting or disconnecting cables and is backed by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship for the original owner.
Features
Universal 19-Inch Rack Compatibility
This 1U panel fits standard equipment racks, providing a standardized mounting solution for various audio and data configurations. It serves as a central interface point within your rig, allowing you to bridge connections between external instruments and internal rack-mounted hardware. The universal design ensures seamless integration into professional mobile DJ coffins, studio desks, and live sound racks for a clean, organized setup.
Durable 16-Gauge Cold-Rolled Steel Construction
Built from heavy-duty 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, this panel is engineered to maintain its structural integrity even when fully populated with connectors. The rigid steel frame prevents flexing when plugging and unplugging cables, providing a stable foundation for your custom patch bay. Its robust build is designed to withstand the demands of frequent transport and the high-traffic conditions of professional stage environments.
16 Integrated Knockouts for Custom Connectivity
The panel features 16 pre-scored sections that can be removed to accommodate a wide range of custom jacks, XLR connectors, or cable pass-throughs. This allows you to tailor the interface specifically to your gear requirements, whether you are setting up a microphone input hub, a guitar rack interface, or a power distribution point. The knockouts are precision-cut to ensure a clean finish once a section is removed for your hardware.
Customizable Layout for Organized Rigs
By allowing you to remove only the specific sections needed for your setup, this panel helps maintain a professional appearance for your equipment rack. This customizable approach prevents unnecessary openings, which helps manage airflow and protects internal components from dust and debris. It is an ideal solution for technicians and performers who require a modular interface that can evolve as their equipment needs change over time.
Black Powder-Coated Finish for a Professional Look
Finished with a resilient black powder coating, the panel is designed to resist scratches and wear while matching the look of industry-standard rack gear. This durable coating ensures that the panel remains professional-looking even after repeated use and hardware adjustments. The matte black finish blends seamlessly with other Gator Rackworks components, providing a cohesive and polished appearance for your entire professional setup.
