Overview

The Panduit DIRBB2007S21W air inlet duct is a precision-engineered cooling solution designed to optimize airflow management for Cisco Nexus 7004 switches in data center environments. This 2 RU footprint duct directs cooling air from the cold aisle directly into the switch's intake fans, eliminating bypass airflow and improving thermal efficiency. By sealing raised floor cutouts with an airtight fabric and Tak-Ty® closure system, it minimizes energy waste from overworked fans while maintaining compliance with critical safety standards. The duct is constructed from electrostatic dissipative, flame-retardant materials that meet UL94 V-0 and FAR 25.853 flammability requirements, ensuring safety in mission-critical applications. RoHS and NEC compliant, this solution supports both new installations and retrofit projects, offering flexible cable routing without compromising containment integrity. Designed specifically for the Cisco Nexus 7004 switch, the DIRBB2007S21W integrates seamlessly with Panduit's Net-Contain3 Cold Aisle Containment systems to enable reduced fan power consumption by allowing lower operational speeds, thereby extending hardware lifespan. With a compact 2 RU form factor and compatibility with standard cold aisle configurations, this duct is an essential component for data centers prioritizing energy efficiency and thermal management.
