Reduces Bypass Airflow & Recirculation in Rack Enclosures
The HotLok Rack Airflow Management (RAM) Kit is designed to seal the gaps between the rail and side of rack enclosures, helping to reduce bypass airflow and recirculation in your rack enclosures.
Whilst HotLok blanking panels reduce the hot air recirculation in unused rack space, hot air has still been able to mix with the cold air at the front of the rack through the unsealed area between the rails and the sides of the rack. The HotLok Rack Airflow Management (RAM) Kit addresses this issue and greatly improves the effectiveness and efficiency of your cooling infrastructure.
RAM Kit Sealing Effectiveness
The Rack Airflow Management Kit is designed as an effective tool for sealing airflow between the rail and side of cabinet while also isolating exhaust air at the rear of the cabinet. The “RAM Kit” compliments blanking panels and completes the job of sealing your cabinet. The Mounting Extrusion is made from Rigid PVC, the Sealing Membrane from Flexible PVC with a matte black finish.

Features & Benefits
RAM Kit Features
- Two mounting extrusions and three sealing membrane widths for a “universal fit” in any equipment cabinet.
- Customisable application – Trim-able materials allow for tailored fit to cabinet configuration and allowance for cable pass-through.
- Engineered “clip-in” design allows for a quick and simple installation*.
- Flexible panels contour to the cabinet producing an air seal between the equipment rail and side of cabinet
- Seals around brackets and allows cable passage as necessary.
*Note: Can also be attached with adhesive depending on cabinet configuration
RAM Kit Benefits
- Eliminates re-circulation inside the cabinet and “hot spots” at equipment intakes due to re-circulation.
- Compliments and enhances the performance of blanking panels.
- Supports equipment cabinet best practices of isolating exhaust air at the back of the cabinet.
- Improves IT equipment reliability and extends equipment life.
- Supports increasing rack and cabinet density.
- Increases existing cooling unit capacity.
