Thermal Management Accessories

Thermal management accessories prevent the mixing of hot and cold air and increase

thermal efciency by eliminating leakage through cabinet and oor openings, which

contribute to energy savings.

Cool Boot

Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet

The Panduit

Cool Boot

Raised Floor Grommet minimizes bypass air in

raised oor applications where power and data cable pass through a

cutout into a rack or cabinet. The Cool-Boot

Grommet forces the cold

air through perforated tiles in the cold aisle to optimize the cooling

efciency. This assembly can be used in new or retrot applications.

Application: Used in applications that require cable bundles, such as

data and power, to be separated as well as applications that create one

cable bundle.

The Cool-Boot

Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet prevents 58% loss

of effectiveness when utilized in a CAC environment. The investment

of the RFG8X8Y has a simple payback of 0.2 years when installed in

this environment.

Selection Criteria:

• Can be utilized in new or retrot applications to reduce bypass airow,

improving the cooling of network equipment, and to prevent debris

from falling below the raised oor

• Designed for 3" or 5" round openings as well as a variety of

rectangular shaped openings

• Suitable to allow multiple cable bundles to pass and allows

communication cables to be separated from power cables where both

cable types pass through the same opening

• Electrostatic dissipating properties provide a pathway to ground.

• Compatible with Panduit vertical cable managers and openings in the

base of Panduit cabinets
