Overview

The Panduit PE2V1236TC is a 12-inch top cap designed to seal the top of PE2V containment systems, significantly improving airflow management and thermal efficiency within data center environments. This top cap features a reversible design, allowing for compatibility with either 60% forward-facing or 60% rear-facing airflow configurations, offering installation flexibility. It includes a brushed pass-through grommet, enabling sealed cable routing to maintain containment integrity and prevent air leakage. The PE2V1236TC has a fixed 36-inch depth, specifically engineered to align with the depth of Panduit R4P36 racks or AR4P racks set at either 30-inch or 36-inch depths. For a complete thermally contained solution, this top cap is intended for use in conjunction with AR4P or R4P top caps and PR2V/PE2V containment end panels. By creating a sealed environment, it optimizes cooling performance and enhances energy efficiency for critical IT infrastructure.
