Description
This is one of my extra sturdy 10" rack panels, which I originally developed to fit my needs while designing (mobile) racks for my homelab, RF applications, wardriving and education.
This is a simple blank panel with hexagonal ventilation holes for extra cooling performance*.
It is designed to fit snug into most commercially available 10" racks and even support self-built racks as structural parts (at least the blank panels. Don't abuse your network equipment as structural components :)
V.2 Changes
After rigorous testing in multiple racks for over a year, I found a few issues concerning the structural stability and the mounting slots of my V.1 rack panels and rack-mount adapters.
In V.2 I solved these issues by increasing the front plate thickness by 2mm, reducing the flexibility of the panel and increasing the sturdiness of the mounting slots. I also shortened the mounting slots and made sure the panel fits snug between the mounting rails by stretching the hollow back part of it to 219.00mm.

* despite the claims of the model author, hexagonal holes don't increase cooling performance in comparison to regular holes. But they look cool. Hexagons are the bestagons!
