Tripp Lite by Eaton 3U Digital Temperature Sensor with 2 12VDC High-Performance Fans, Blanking Panel, LCD

The Tripp Lite by Eaton 3U Digital Temperature Sensor with 2 12VDC High-Performance Fans and Blanking Panel is the ultimate solution for maintaining optimal conditions in your server rack environment. This innovative product combines advanced temperature monitoring with efficient cooling mechanisms to ensure your critical equipment operates smoothly and reliably. With features designed to enhance airflow and cooling efficiency, this device is essential for any data center or server room.

• Optimized Airflow and Cooling Efficiency: The included 3U blanking panel is crafted from cold-rolled steel with a black powder-coated finish, filling unused rack space to prevent hot air build-up and enhance cooling performance.
• High-Performance Cooling Solution: Equipped with two 4-inch 12VDC fans, this system effectively pulls cool air from outside the rack, crucial for maintaining the ideal temperature in crowded server enclosures.
• Precise Temperature Measurement: The integrated temperature sensor detects rack temperatures with an impressive accuracy of ±2°F (±1°C) across a wide range of -58°F to 302°F (-50°C to 150°C), helping you identify and address hot spots.
• User-Friendly LCD Display: A front-panel LCD allows easy monitoring of rack temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, ensuring that users can quickly check and adjust settings as necessary.
• Easy Installation and Setup: The Tripp Lite 3U unit is designed for quick mounting in standard EIA 19-inch racks, making it a convenient addition to your existing setup.
