Overview

The Panduit RFG10X8Y Cool Boot Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet is a precision-engineered solution for data center hot aisle/cold aisle environments. This 8-inch by 10-inch (203.2mm x 254mm) rectangular grommet is designed to seal cable cutouts in raised floors, preventing bypass airflow that compromises cooling efficiency. By reducing hot air recirculation, it improves thermal management of network equipment, directly supporting energy savings and equipment reliability. The grommet also blocks debris from falling below the raised floor, maintaining cleanliness in critical infrastructure spaces. Constructed in the US, the RFG10X8Y is a durable, maintenance-free component that integrates seamlessly with standard raised floor systems. Its rectangular design accommodates common cable pathways while ensuring a tight seal around bundles. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and IT facilities where airflow control and contamination prevention are priorities.
