Positioning the 2T Sensor Rack Probes on a Rack
To help ensure proper cooling, use the following guidelines to place the Liebert 2T sensor probes:
• on the top of the perforated rack door.
• in front of the highest-mounted servers in the rack.
• in front of the highest-density area of the rack.
• in the airflow path entering the rack.
• Do not place the probe directly on the metal surface of the perforated door.
To connect the temperature probes, use only cable with the following characteristics:
• 6 wires, 3 couples, shielded twisted pair
• termination: RJ-12
• coupling: according to Liebert iCOM user manual, SL-18835)
Option A:
• 3 x 2 x 0.14 mmq (min), twisted pairs, shielded
• plenum rated
• 300V
• (23/158
°F / -5/+70°C)
•flexible
• characteristic impedance of 108-132 Ohm @50kHz
• conductor resistance < 150 Ohm/km
•flame-retardant
• black jacketing
Option B:
•24AWG
• STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
• CMP (plenum rated)
• <15pF capacitance per foot
• 300V
•140
°F / 60°C
• black jacketing
• flexibility: must maintain a certain, unspecified flexibility
• UL and CSA approved
