NavePoint 10-inch blank: the spare 1U plate, not a 19-inch spacer

The NavePoint 6U already ships one 10-inch 1U blank with the two shelves. Buy SKU 00406856 only if that kit plate is covering a hole you still have. Maker store $22.59 this pass. Amazon listing B0BPFKQF85 — print the live tag. A 19-inch 1U spacer will not hang on these rails.

This plate is 10-inch wide, 1U, non-vented, black powder coat. Box: 4× 10-32 screws. Same family as the 00406855 shelf. The 6U is six rack units: panel, two shelves, one blank, and whatever pizza box you actually hung. You do not start by ordering more blanks.

Search “NavePoint 1U blank” and Amazon is a pile of 19-inch EIA spacers. Slotted 1U B07CXL8K6H is 19 × 1.75 in. The 10-pack toolless blanks on the maker site are also 19-inch. Those fill a StarTech 12U, not this cabinet.

Skip

Skip a spare blank because the photo shows empty U. Skip any “1U blank” whose spec also says 19-inch EIA. Skip vented 19-inch packs, RGB plates, and eBay lots. A blank does not replace the TC-P12C6. If the wall will take 19-inch, the cabinet was the wrong buy — see 12U vs 10-inch. We have not sat with 00406856.
