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

Elevate your data center cabling strategy with the VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel designed for 2 ft by 2 ft openings. This 1-pack duct panel delivers organized, clean cable pathways and optimized airflow, helping you maintain efficient cooling and simplified maintenance in compact cabinet environments. Built for durability and quick installation, it’s the smart choice for IT professionals seeking reliable cable management that doesn’t compromise rack space or cooling performance. Whether you’re deploying new equipment or reorganizing an existing rack, this vertical duct panel provides a sturdy, scalable solution that blends with standard 2x2 rack configurations.

• Rigid, purpose-built design for 2 ft x 2 ft openings: The vertical duct panel is engineered to fit snugly into standard 2 ft x 2 ft rack openings, providing a streamlined pathway for cables while preserving airflow channels. Its precise dimensions help prevent misalignment and ensure a clean, professional installation every time. The panel acts as a barrier that guides cables away from critical hot spots, supporting more effective cooling and reduced energy consumption across your IT infrastructure. This reliability is especially valuable in dense deployments where every inch of rack real estate matters.
• Superior cable management and organization: By corralling cables in a dedicated vertical duct, the panel minimizes tangling, stray cables, and clutter behind racks. A tidy cabling environment not only accelerates maintenance tasks but also lowers the risk of accidental disconnections and equipment downtime. The vertical orientation encourages a logical cable routing scheme, enabling faster diagnostics and more scalable growth as your data center expands. Keeping cables organized translates to shorter service windows and improved uptime—critical factors for enterprise operations.
• Enhanced airflow and cooling efficiency: A well-planned duct panel helps preserve airflow patterns by separating power and data cables from intake and exhaust paths. When cables are neatly routed, air can move more freely through front-to-back cooling paths, reducing pressure drop and allowing cooling systems to perform at peak efficiency. This can contribute to lower operating temperatures for equipment and can potentially extend the life of critical components, while also supporting green data center initiatives by reducing energy usage.
• Easy integration with existing racks and modular layouts: The VERTIV vertical duct panel is designed to complement standard rack systems and can be incorporated into horizontal or vertical cable management strategies without major rework. It works well alongside other modular ducting components, providing flexibility for future upgrades or reconfigurations. Operators benefit from a scalable solution that grows with their infrastructure, helping to future-proof data centers and edge deployments where space is at a premium.
• Durable construction with maintenance-friendly features: Built to withstand the rigors of data center environments, the panel emphasizes longevity and low maintenance. Its robust construction minimizes wear from frequent access and rearrangement, while its clean, accessible design simplifies cleaning and routine inspections. With a focus on reliability, this panel supports long-term performance, reducing replacement cycles and contributing to a stable, predictable rack ecosystem.

How to install VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (2 ft x 2 ft)

• Power down and unplug equipment as part of standard safety procedures before handling any rack components.
• Remove or relocate any obstructing panels or cables in the target 2 ft x 2 ft opening to accommodate the duct panel securely.
• Align the vertical duct panel with the rack opening, ensuring that mounting holes line up with the rack’s standard post locations. Use compatible mounting hardware typical for your cabinet or enclosure.
• Secure the panel firmly using the appropriate screws or fasteners. Tighten evenly to avoid warping and to maintain a clean seal that supports effective airflow and cable containment.
• Route cables into the duct channels, keeping twists minimal and avoiding sharp bends. Reorganize and test cabling to confirm connectivity and to verify that airflow paths remain unobstructed.
• Reattach any panels, panels covers, or cable management accessories as needed. Power up equipment and monitor for any changes in temperature or airflow patterns to ensure optimal performance.
