VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (1 ft x 2 ft) - 1 Pack

The VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel in a 1 ft x 2 ft footprint delivers a purpose-built solution for clean, efficient cable routing inside racks and enclosures. Designed to optimize airflow and minimize cable clutter, this panel is a cornerstone of professional data center and network infrastructure. With the ever-increasing density of modern cabling, a vertical duct panel from Vertiv helps you tame complexity, enabling technicians to route power, data, and management cables in dedicated ducts while maintaining accessibility for future upgrades. This 1-pack panel is ideal for new deployments or as an upgrade component within existing Vertiv rack systems, offering a stable, modular approach to cable management that scales with your network.

From design to deployment, the VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel emphasizes reliability, ease of installation, and long-term performance. The panel is engineered to stand up to demanding data center environments, resisting wear from frequent access and ensuring consistent airflow. Its modular approach means you can add or reconfigure ducting as your infrastructure evolves, reducing downtime and supporting proactive maintenance. Whether you’re organizing a compact telecom cabinet or a large-scale data hall, this panel provides the right balance of toughness, flexibility, and efficiency to help you meet uptime objectives while keeping a tidy, standards-compliant rack environment.

• Optimized cable routing and airflow: The vertical duct design guides cables through dedicated channels, reducing bend radii and minimizing obstructions that impede airflow. With orderly pathways for power, data, and control cables, you’ll experience improved cooling efficiency in dense deployments and simplified cable labeling and troubleshooting for routine maintenance. This panel supports scalable cabling layouts, enabling you to grow without sacrificing organization or performance.
• Durable construction and finish: Built to endure daily rack life, the panel combines robust materials with a durable finish that resists scuffs and corrosion. The powder-coated surface stands up to cleaning solvents and regular handling, ensuring a professional appearance over time. A reliable, low-maintenance component, it maintains its integrity under temperature swings and in high-traffic data center environments.
• Easy installation and compatibility: The panel is designed for straightforward integration with standard 19-inch rack systems and modular Vertiv components. It accepts common mounting hardware and aligns with customary rack hole patterns, minimizing installation time. The 1-pack is compact yet complete enough to pair with other ducting solutions, making it simple to implement a cohesive cable management strategy across multiple cabinets.
• Versatile and modular design: This panel works well in varied settings—from enterprise data centers to network closets and lab environments. Its modular, scalable architecture lets you expand ducting as your cabling footprint grows, while maintaining consistent routing and airflow practices. The clean lines and uniform channels also support clear cable labeling, aiding in asset management and fault isolation.
• Maintenance-friendly and serviceable: With a removable design and accessible cable channels, technicians can modify layouts, re-route cables, or add new connections without disrupting the entire enclosure. The panel’s open, organized configuration makes inspections quick, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and ensuring ongoing compliance with internal standards and external best practices.

How to Install VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (1 ft x 2 ft)

• Prepare the enclosure: Power down the rack or cabinet and remove any nearby obstructions to ensure safe installation and clear access to mounting points.
• Align with mounting rails: Position the vertical duct panel so its screw holes align with the rack’s vertical rails, ensuring a level placement that preserves consistent cable channels.
• Secure the panel: Use the appropriate rack screws or torque-limited fasteners to firmly attach the panel to the rails. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the panel or rails.
• Route cables into the duct: Begin guiding power, data, and control cables into the dedicated ducts, maintaining clean separation between different cable types to optimize airflow and reduce crosstalk or interference.
• Label and test: Label each channel for quick identification and perform a light airflow check to confirm that cables are not obstructing vents or perforations. Re-check all connections and ensure access doors or panels close securely after installation.
