Product Description

Foam Airstrip Blanking Panels 9U scored in 1U increments install with no clips, screws or hardware.

The Cool Shield Foam Airstrip Panels are an innovative, multi-purpose solution for sealing open spaces in and around server cabinets, in order to prevent air mixing between supply and exhaust air within the cabinet. This improves cooling efficiency in cold aisle/hot aisle layouts which can be critical to the effectiveness of containment.

Foam Airstrip Panels Composition

The Foam Airstrip Panels are made from a melamine resin foam base material that is made 99.9% airtight by heat-sealing both sides. Ten 1U strips are fused together to make a single panel. This fusing process results in no air loss between strips, and they can be easily separated if needed.

Slits along the sides of each panel allows them to quickly slip over standard 19″ mounting rails. Blanking an entire cabinet takes less than one minute to install. As the cabinet is populated, simply remove the strips in those rack positions and re-purpose them to another location.

The foam material can be squeezed to fit into just about any space, and it can also be cut easily if necessary. A data center manager looking to maximize cooling will find numerous uses for our panels, including:

• • Filling gaps between cabinets
• • Sealing cable openings in raised floor
• • Preventing air loss around pipe cut-outs
