SwitchAir 2U Network Switch Cooling

Effective cool air delivery for front of rack mounted multi
RU switches universal for side intake switch types

Why Choose Opengate?

• Stabilize your switch intake air
temperature to within a few degrees
of the rack front intake air temperature

Placing core network switches in an enclosed rack is a preferred
design but it can be a challenge to deal with the heat generated by
the devices. Due to design constraints and equipment density, intake
air is typically at the sides of the switch chassis with heat exhaust out
the rear or opposite side of the switch.

SwitchAir 2U ensures side intake switches are able to receive the
required cool air from outside the rack. SwitchAir delivers air to the
switch via the SwitchAir cold air curtain. SwitchAir 2U works with
switches having side intake with multiple exhaust con gurations.
