The Excel ExpressNet Blank Plate Module HBNKMP5 is a simple but essential accessory designed to maintain a clean and professional finish within modular patch panel installations. Used with Excel ExpressNet 4-module and 8-module frames, it fills unused ports to improve panel presentation, reduce dust ingress, and support overall system integrity in structured cabling environments.
Key Features of Excel HBNKMP5
Tool-free installation for fast deployment
Compatible with 100-230, 100-231, and 100-231-CBM panels
Helps reduce dust ingress within open panel spaces
Maintains airflow and panel integrity
Supplied in a 5-pack for convenience
Clean and Professional Panel Finish
The blank module is used to fill unused ports in ExpressNet patch panels, ensuring a consistent and tidy appearance across installations. It helps maintain structured layout integrity where not all module positions are occupied.
Improved Protection for Active Infrastructure
By covering unused module spaces, the blank plate helps reduce dust ingress and limits exposure of internal panel components, supporting long-term reliability of installed cabling systems.
Designed for ExpressNet Modular Systems
Specifically engineered for compatibility with Excel ExpressNet modular patch panel frames, the HBNKMP5 integrates seamlessly into both 4-module and 8-module configurations without requiring tools for installation.
Efficient Installation and Maintenance
The tool-free design enables rapid fitting and removal, making it easy for installers to modify panel layouts or replace modules during upgrades or reconfiguration.
Practical Pack Format
Supplied in a 5-pack, the HBNKMP5 ensures installers have a ready supply of blanks available for multiple projects or larger structured cabling deployments.

Product Features
The Excel ExpressNet Panel accepts either and/or both copper and fibre modules
The ability to have fibre and copper presented in one panel offers flexibility in the installation, reduces required rack space and provides future proofing in system design.
Useful in the extremes of installations from data centres where the ExpressNet panel may aid separation of the routes of cabling, to a remote wall box that has a small number of fibre and copper links, the ExpressNet panel will suit any environment
The construction of the panel has a chrome colour finish and may be used for either screened or unscreened copper cabling and LC or MTP fibre connectivity
A 4 or 8 module ExpressNet panel is available, both using 1U of rack space.
Available in 4/8 modules
Accepts Copper & Fibre ExpressNet Modules
1U of Rack Space
Toolless assembly and module fitting
25 Year system warranty
