Green Data Cabinets

Panduit Green Data Cabinets, which include Panduit® Net-Access™ and the new Net-SERV™ Cabinet Systems use innovative thermal management solutions designed to maintain hot/cold air separation and conserve existing cooling in a smart data center, improving cooling efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

The innovative thermal management solutions include:

  • Vertical exhaust systems (VES) to isolate hot exhaust air and duct it directly to ceiling plenums
  • In-cabinet ducting solutions to properly direct cooling and exhaust airflows when network equipment has unconventional airflow patterns
  • Integrated cable management solutions to enable optimized airflow and equipment performance
  • Air sealing accessories to prevent leaks and optimize the utilization of cooling air
  • Rear door heat exchanger to provide supplemental, localized cooling for high heat generating cabinets

When combined with a well-designed cooling system, Panduit integrated cabinet thermal solutions can help reduce data center energy costs 25% or more.
