Overview

The Panduit AR4PCACTCBL is a rack top cap designed for open-frame rack cold aisle containment systems. This component is engineered to seal the top of 45 RU and 52 RU AR4P open-frame racks, integrating seamlessly with Panduit's PR2V vertical cable managers. Its primary function is to enhance airflow management and thermal efficiency by preventing hot air recirculation at the rack top. The AR4PCACTCBL is compatible with AR4P racks set to any depth, offering versatility for dynamic data center environments. Its modular design contributes to a scalable solution for cooling efficiency. The specifications for the AR4PCACTCBL include a height of 0.38 inches (9.6 mm), a width of 22.2 inches (563 mm), and a depth of 9.5 inches (241 mm). This rack top cap is available in Black (BL) and White (WH) color options. It is part of a comprehensive system that includes rack top caps, vertical cable manager top caps, and end panels, all engineered to optimize airflow and improve thermal efficiency in data centers utilizing open frame racks. The system is designed to prevent the mixing of hot and cold air, directing hot exhaust air away from equipment. The AR4PCACTCBL, when used with other components of the Panduit Open Frame Rack Cold Aisle Containment System, contributes to a thermally optimized infrastructure, reducing cooling costs and improving overall thermal performance. Installation requires no additional hardware or tools, simplifying deployment.

How to Install the AR4PCACTC Rack Extension Top and Accessories

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the AR4PCACTC rack extension top, its prerequisite cable manager covers, and optional blanking plugs for a complete cold aisle containment setup.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Drill/Driver w/ T25 Torx drive bit

Supplies needed:

M5x0.8 x 12mm Thread forming screws, M5x0.8 x 5mm machine screws, PR2V**CACFSTC** brush entry cable manager cover, AR4PCACTC** rack extension top, PR2VBPK Hole Blanking Plugs

  1. Install Brush Entry Cable Manager Covers

    Place the PR2V**CACFSTC** brush entry cover assembly over the top opening of the cable manager. Align the cover assembly mount slots with the extruded holes on the front to back cable manager door hinge channels (two holes per side). Install the four M5x0.8 x 12mm thread forming screws into the extruded holes using a drill/driver with a T25 Torx drive bit. If using a Front & Back Cable Manager, orient it so the larger side faces forward, and use only one M5 screw per side to attach the brush entry cover.

  2. Install Rack Extension Top

    Position the AR4PCACTC** rack extension top in front of the top area of the AR4P rack, between the two PR2V**CACFSTC** covers previously installed. Ensure the short flange on the rack extension cover is oriented over the cable manager door. Align the rack extension cover mount slots with the tapped holes on the top of the vertical manager covers (two holes per side). Install the four M5x0.8 x 5mm machine screws into the tapped holes using a drill/driver with a T25 Torx drive bit.

  3. Install Hole Blanking Plugs

    For any remaining pass-through holes, align the PR2VBPK blanking plugs over them. Press the blanking plugs firmly into place until they are fully seated. These plugs are intended for cable management fingers.
