Net-Contain™ and Net-Direct™
Thermal Management Solution
Improved Energy Efciency in the Data Center while
Increasing kW per Cabinet Density
Rising energy consumption in the data
center is increasing energy costs to the
point where facility and IT managers are
forced to focus on addressing this
challenge. To face this growing
concern, the American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
has changed the recommended data
center operating temperature from 77°F to 80°F. This temperature change
allows for a lighter energy load by reducing the impact on IT equipment, which
decreases costs.
To accommodate the ASHRAE recommendations and allow the data center to
fully benet from the energy savings, Panduit offers a complete solution that
provides greater thermal management and energy efciency as well as
accessibility and exibility while managing and protecting equipment.

Net-Contain™ Aisle Containment Systems
Data Center Managers, challenged to maximize the utilization of available rack space and cooling capacity, often increase the
power density per cabinet. As cabinet power densities rise, containment architectures are the optimal approach, ensuring uniform
cooling air temperature is delivered to equipment in high density PODs, which allow full utilization of available cabinet space and
cooling capacity.
Choosing the right aisle containment solution depends upon a number of factors, including:
• Channeling cold air directly into the switch intake
• Data center density
• Uniformity of racks and aisles
Net Contain™ Passive Cold Aisle Containment
The Net-Contain™ Passive Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) System provides a physical separation between the cold air and the hot
exhaust air by enclosing the cold aisle. The goal of a CAC system is to supply cold air to the cold aisle where the equipment air
intakes are located to optimize airow distribution and improve cooling system thermal performance. As a result, a cold aisle system
is typically used in high-density data centers because it is more efcient to direct cold air onto densely populated racks than to cool
the entire room.
This integrated system is compatible with numerous Panduit product lines including; Net-Access™ N-Type and S-Type Cabinets,
FiberRunner®, and Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Routing Systems.

Net Contain™ Passive Hot Aisle Containment
The Net-Contain™ Passive Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) System provides a physical
separation between the cold air and the hot exhaust air by enclosing the hot aisle. The goal
of a HAC system is to capture all of the cabinet exhaust air and return it to the cooling units.
HAC optimizes airow distribution and cooling system performance. The remaining area
outside of the HAC becomes a cold room with ambient air temperature close to the supply
air temperature.
This integrated system is compatible with numerous Panduit product lines including:
Net-Access™ N-Type and S-Type Cabinets, FiberRunner®, and Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable
Routing Systems.

Net-Direct™ Passive In-Cabinet Ducting
Inlet Ducting
Net-Direct™ Passive In-Cabinet Ducting delivers cooling air directly
from the cold aisle into the intake fans of switches with side-to-side
cooling airow. Inlet ducting prevents hot air recirculation within the
cabinet and enables reduced inlet temperature for improved
performance and cooling efciency. Inlet ducting is used for
containment systems such as VED, CAC, and HAC.
Application: Use for a containment application in Greeneld and
Browneld environments without disrupting existing in-cabinet
equipment and cabling.
Benets:
• Switch Inlet Ducts enable containment strategies:
– Effectively managing airow on side-to-side airow devices
– Channeling cold air directly into the switch intake
• Switch Inlet Ducts enable reduced energy consumption:
– Lowering fan speeds on the switch
– Allowing higher data center supply air temperature
– Allowing higher chilled water temperature
Exhaust Ducting
Net-Direct™ Passive Cabinet Exhaust Ducting routes exhaust air from
the side exhaust of the switch into the hot aisle, preventing hot air
from mixing with cooling air within the cabinet for improved switch
performance and cooling efciency. Exhaust ducts are used for
traditional hot and cold aisle applications. Net-Direct™ Passive Cabinet
Inlet and Exhaust Ducting are Cisco certied.
Application: Use for a non-containment application in Greeneld and
Browneld environments without disrupting existing in-cabinet
equipment and cabling.
Benets:
• Channels hot exhaust air directly to the hot aisle away from the cold
air inlet of adjacent switches
• Completely passive solution requiring no energy to operate,
eliminating a point of failure
• Reduces fan power energy by allowing lower fan speeds, improving
switch reliability

Net-Direct™ Passive In-Cabinet Top of Rack
Top of Rack Ducting
Top of Rack (TOR) Inlet Ducts effectively manage airow when placed
either on side-to-side airow devices or when used to extend the inlet
duct to receive incoming cold air. These ducts channel cold air directly
into the switch intake and create a front-to-back airow pattern. They
also enable reduced energy consumption by lowering the fan speeds
on the switch, allowing higher data center supply air temperatures and
higher chilled water temperatures.
Application: Use for both containment and non-containment
applications in Greeneld and Browneld environments without
disrupting existing in-cabinet equipment and cabling. Mainly use for
one or two RU switches.
Benets:
• Effectively manages airow when placed either on side-to-side airow
devices or when used to extend the inlet duct to receive incoming
cold air
• Channels cold air directly into the switch intake
• Creates a front-to-back airow pattern
• Enables reduced energy consumption:
– Lowers fan speeds on the switch
– Allows higher data center supply air temperature
– Allows higher chilled water temperature

Net-Direct™ Passive In-Cabinet Ducting
Ducting Versus No Ducting
Research conducted in the Panduit thermal laboratory validates that a thermal ducting
solution along with containment allows you to prevent recirculation inside the cabinet
and increase the temperature per ASHRAE standards. The improved thermal
performance enabled by the ducting allows switches to operate at higher cold aisle
temperatures. The increase in supply air temperature can improve the efciency of
traditional chiller-based HVAC systems or increase the hours of operation for
economizer systems, which decreases the amount of energy required to cool the data
center. The Panduit® Net-Direct™ Passive In-Cabinet Ducting System is comprised of
thermal management products that provide the optimum thermal performance and
energy cost savings.
The following chart illustrates the cost savings achieved when using inlet ducting in
the 80° or 90° environment. The recommended ASHRAE data center operating
temperature is 80°. The maximum allowable temperature for short time periods is 90°.
When using the recommended 80° temperature, with a ducting solution, the cost
savings is over $124,000. When using the maximum allowable temperature, the cost is
over $54,000.
