Overview

The Panduit RFG12X4Y Cool Boot Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet is a precision-engineered solution for hot aisle/cold aisle data center environments. This 4" x 12" (101.6mm x 304.8mm) grommet seals cable cutouts in raised floors to prevent bypass airflow, directly improving cooling efficiency for network equipment. By blocking unwanted air movement between aisles, it reduces energy waste and maintains optimal operating temperatures for critical infrastructure. The grommet also stops debris, dust, and particulates from falling below the raised floor, protecting under-floor systems and maintaining cleanroom conditions. Constructed in the USA, this grommet is part of Panduit's comprehensive data center infrastructure portfolio, ensuring compatibility with standard raised floor cutouts. The Cool Boot is a cost-effective alternative to permanent sealing methods, allowing for cable adjustments while maintaining airflow control. Ideal for data centers, server rooms, and network closets where thermal management and contamination prevention are priorities.
