Benefits of Floor Grommets

To achieve the cooling optimisation required for energy efficiency gains, it is vital to follow best practices in Data Centre airflow management.

Floor grommets play an important role in this process. When you seal cable openings with floor grommets, you reduce bypass airflow, latent cooling, short cycling, and hot spots, all of which negatively affect airflow management. By sealing cabling cut-outs, you can implement cooling optimisation changes to CRAC units at the room level that enable energy efficiency gains.

While floor grommets help improve raised floor airflow management, not all floor grommets are created equal. KoldLok raised floor grommets from Upsite Technologies are the market leaders. Their design protects cables and provides an effective seal over the cable opening, ensuring minimal air leakage.
