Product Overview

The Lightware MX-BLANK-IO is a spare blank panel for use in Lightware MX-FR modular matrix frames. It fills unused I/O card slots in the frame chassis, maintaining a closed enclosure for proper airflow management and dust exclusion. This is the correct blank panel for MX-FR series matrices and is required when a slot is unoccupied to keep the frame operating within its thermal specification.

Product Description

In Lightware MX-FR modular matrix systems, each I/O slot must be occupied either by a signal card or a blank panel. Leaving a slot open disrupts internal airflow and exposes internal components to dust, reducing system reliability and potentially voiding warranty conditions. The MX-BLANK-IO is the manufacturer-specified filler panel, dimensionally matched to the MX-FR chassis slot, and installs without tools in most configurations. It is a necessary stock item for integrators building or expanding MX-FR matrix systems with unused I/O capacity. Order from Creation Networks at .
