Overview

Optimize your data center cooling with the Panduit DIRLC25S23W Air Inlet Duct, designed specifically for Cisco Catalyst 6880 switches. This essential component, fitting within a 3 RU footprint, ensures efficient airflow management by directing cool air directly from the cold aisle into the intake fans of your network switches. By facilitating effective deployment within a Net-Contain3 Cold Aisle Containment system, the DIRLC25S23W enables a significant reduction in fan power energy consumption. This is achieved by allowing switches to operate at lower fan speeds, thereby improving overall switch reliability and reducing operational costs. The air inlet duct is constructed from electrostatic dissipative, flame-retardant materials that meet stringent UL94 V- and FAR 25.853 flammability standards, ensuring safety and compliance. It is also RoHS and NEC compliant. Panduit's commitment to flexible and efficient data center infrastructure is evident in this product, which is designed for both new installations and retrofits. The included airtight fabric and Tak-Ty® closure system provide a secure and effective seal, minimizing bypass airflow and maximizing cooling efficiency. This product is manufactured in the USA, ensuring quality and adherence to high production standards. SKU: DIRLC25S23W. UNSPSC Code: 43223301.
