VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (2 ft x 3 ft)

The VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel in a 2 ft x 3 ft footprint delivers streamlined cable management for data centers, server rooms, and IT closets. Designed to fit standard 19-inch racks, this panel organizes and routes cables with precision, improving airflow, reducing heat buildup, and simplifying maintenance. Built by a trusted name in critical infrastructure, it combines durability with practical design to support high-density cabling while keeping equipment accessible and protected.

• Optimized cabling and airflow — The vertical duct design keeps cables neatly organized and away from hot zones, promoting efficient airflow across rack enclosures and helping maintain optimal temperatures in dense installations. This reduces cooling costs and supports higher equipment reliability over time.
• Durable steel construction with powder-coated finish — Crafted from sturdy steel and coated with a durable powder finish, the vertical duct panel withstands demanding data-center environments. The rugged surface resists impact, corrosion, and daily wear, ensuring long-term performance in rack rows and cabinet corridors.
• Universal compatibility with standard racks — Specifically sized for 2 ft x 3 ft configurations, this panel is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard 19-inch rack systems, providing a clean, professional cabling route without incompatible fittings or adapters.
• Flexible interior design for high-density cabling — The panel supports a range of cabling arrangements, including bulk cables, patch cords, and branching systems. Its vertical duct architecture makes it easy to adapt as connectivity demands evolve, enabling scalable organization as your infrastructure grows.
• Easy maintenance and scalable performance — With a tidy, accessible layout, technicians can simplify troubleshooting, cable replacement, and reconfiguration. The panel’s design accommodates future expansions, helping you maintain orderly racks without costly retrofits.

how to install VERTIV Vertical Duct Panel (2 ft x 3 ft)

• Prepare the rack area by clearing current cabling and ensuring access to vertical rails where the duct panel will mount.
• Align the vertical duct panel with the rack’s mounting rails, ensuring the 19-inch reference points match your existing hardware layout.
• Attach the panel to the rack using the appropriate screws or mounting hardware compatible with your enclosure. Tighten fasteners securely to prevent panel movement during maintenance.
• Route cables into the vertical duct channels, organizing by function (power, data, patch cords) and avoiding sharp bends to preserve signal integrity and airflow.
• Verify clearance and airflow paths from front to rear of the rack. Test cable pulls to ensure that the panel does not impede door operation or equipment access.
• Document your cabling layout for future changes, labeling cables clearly at both ends to facilitate maintenance and upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the vertical duct panel compatible with all 19-inch racks? A: The panel is designed for standard 19-inch rack systems and fits most common configurations. Always verify compatible mounting rails and available space in your enclosure before installation.
• Q: What kind of maintenance is required? A: Routine visual inspection to ensure cables remain organized and free of kinks or tight bends is typically sufficient. Keep dust free from duct channels, and re-label cables as your infrastructure evolves.
• Q: Can I expand the system with additional panels? A: Yes. The vertical duct concept is scalable, allowing you to add additional panels or adapt the layout as your cabling density increases.
• Q: Does it include mounting hardware? A: Mounting hardware compatibility is designed for standard rack rails. Specific hardware inclusions may vary by purchase; consult the product packaging or vendor notes for exact contents.
• Q: Does the panel affect rack airflow negatively? A: When properly installed and populated with cables routed through the vertical ducts, the panel supports organized cabling and can improve airflow by reducing cable clutter and obstruction inside the rack.
