The IBM 1U Pass Through Bracket is shown in Figure 5-13. The front for the
component has brushes to block the airflow around any cables that are passed
through it. It can also serve to block air flow around a switch that is recessed in
the rack (for cable routing reasons), that pass around a blank filler panel.
