APC Rack Air Distribution

The Rack Air Distribution Unit is a 2U fan unit that connects into the raised floor and pulls supply air directly into the enclosure. This prevents the conditioned air from mixing with warmer room air before reaching the equipment. This minimizes temperature differences between the top and bottom of the enclosure, while also preventing hot exhaust air recirculation to the inlet of the enclosure. The product is recommended for rack enclosures with loads greater than 1.5kW and can provide airflow for loads up to 3.5kW. It is also ideal for enclosures in raised floor environments where underfloor air distribution is inadequate.

Options to optimize the performance or functionality of rack cooling products

Rack Side Air Distribution 2U 208/230 50/60Hz

Housing equipment with side to side airflow creates many challenges for IT and facility managers, particularly in regards to cooling. Because most enclosures are designed for a front to back airflow pattern, it is difficult to maintain ideal operating temperatures on side to side airflow equipment.

The Rack Side Air Distribution Unit is a 2U rack mountable air distribution product for networking equipment or servers with side to side airflow. It pulls in conditioned air from the front of the rack and distributes it to the side air intake of the networking equipment.

Includes: Installation guide, User manual
