SwitchAir – Cooling For Top of Rack Network Switches

Part Number: 83-SA2-002B

SwitchAir™ 2U from Opengate Data Systems is specifically designed to provide effective cooling for top of rack network switches.  Due to high switch port density, placing network switches facing the rear of the rack is very common and simplifies network cabling.  In this top of rack network switch deployment the heat typically exhausts out to the front or side of the rack.  This can lead to mixing air streams and potentially failure of the switch.

SwitchAir™ 2U provides effective cool air delivery to top of rack side or rear intake network switches and re-routes the warm network switch exhaust air to the rear of the rack.

SwitchAir™ 2U installs into the front of the rack and delivers cool air to the network switch air intake.  This installation is very easy and installs in minutes, and more importantly can be done while the network switch is operational.  Once installed the network switch becomes effectively cooled with intake air temperatures stabilised to within a few degrees of the temperature at the front of the rack.

SwitchAir™ 2U Features & Benefits

Stack network switches with varying airflow patterns together. Prevent mixing air streams. Quickly and easily retro-fit onto operational network switches. Effectively cool your network switch and stabilise your switch intake air temperature to within a few degrees of the temperature at the front of the rack. Compatible with most side and rear intake network switches including Nexus 2000 Series, Cisco 4948 and Catalyst 3750E Single input cord runs on any voltage and continually delivers required air.
