Blanking Foam Strips to minimize gaps in and around network cabinets to prevent bypass air. Removable
and repositionable, the adhesive-backed foam strips can be stacked, folded, rolled, or manipulated to seal
various-size openings not typically filled by tool-less blanking panels or other standard blanking options.
