Panduit DPFP2 Rack Filler Panel 2 RU

Overview

The Panduit DPFP2 is a 2U horizontal rack filler panel constructed from black steel. It functions by forcing cold air through active equipment rather than allowing it to bypass into the hot aisle. This panel minimizes bypass airflow within server racks and cabinets, directly optimizing cooling efficiency and preventing hotspots. It is designed for standard 19-inch rack installations where unused rack space needs to be sealed to maintain proper thermal management. The DPFP2 model is essential for maintaining the integrity of your data center's airflow strategy.

Compatibility

This filler panel is designed for standard 19-inch wide server racks and cabinets. It occupies 2U of vertical rack space. While not specific to any particular brand of rack, its 19-inch width and 2U height are industry standards. It is compatible with any rack system that accommodates standard rack-mount equipment, ensuring it fits seamlessly into existing infrastructure. This panel is part of Panduit's broader copper-systems product line, designed for structured cabling deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation involves simply snapping or screwing the panel into the unused 2U space within a standard 19-inch rack. No special tools are typically required for basic installation, though rack screws (not included) may be used for a more permanent fixture. Ensure the rack is stable before installation. The panel's steel construction provides durability once mounted.
