Panduit XG-DRSP745W Split-Hinged Perforated Door for FlexFusion 700mm/45RU Cabinets
High-density rack deployments generate thermal loads that solid doors trap. The Panduit XG-DRSP745W split-hinged door combines 80% open perforation with flexible security options for FlexFusion 700mm-wide, 45RU cabinets. White powder-coat finish matches FlexFusion aesthetics while the split-hinge design allows service access in tight hot-aisle configurations without full door swing clearance. Ships with mechanical key lock; accepts Panduit smart-lock upgrades (3-digit combo, Smart Rack Security Handle, HID + humidity sensor, or HID/keypad + humidity sensor) without hardware modification.
Key Features
- 80% open perforation maximizes front-to-back airflow for high-density compute and switching loads
- Split-hinged design enables half-door access in aisles under 48" wide
- Compatible exclusively with Panduit FlexFusion 700mm-wide, 45RU cabinets (XG-DR series)
- Mechanical key lock included; four smart-lock upgrade paths without door replacement
- White powder-coat finish (matches FlexFusion standard cabinet color)
- 81.99" H × 27.4" W (2082.6mm × 700mm) — full 45RU coverage with top/bottom cabinet frame overlap
- RoHS compliant for federal/state IT procurement requirements
The 80% perforation pattern provides 4× the free airflow area of legacy 20%-perforated doors common in older datacenters. For racks running blade servers, high-wattage switches, or GPU compute nodes drawing 8–15 kW, the open area reduces hot-aisle temperature rise by 3–7°F in ASHRAE A2-compliant cooling environments. The split-hinge mechanism divides the door into two independently opening halves, each swinging 180° — critical when cabinets sit in 42" aisles or against walls where a single 27"-wide door would block the row. Each half latches independently; both lock from a single cylinder. Hinge pins are captive and removable from the front for field door reversal without cabinet disassembly.
The included mechanical key lock accepts Panduit's keyed-alike cylinder sets for facility-wide master keying. Four upgrade paths require no door modification: the 3-digit combination lock replaces the cylinder for low-security applications; the Smart Rack Security Handle adds electronic audit logging via RS-485 daisy-chain to rack PDUs; the HID + humidity sensor option integrates corporate badge systems and alerts on dew-point crossings; the HID/keypad + humidity sensor variant adds PIN-override for contractors. All four upgrades mount to the same pre-drilled lock plate — IT can start with mechanical keys during buildout and upgrade to HID integration once the facility access-control system goes live. White finish matches Panduit's FlexFusion powder-coat standard (RAL 9003 equivalent) for uniform appearance in customer-facing colocation cages and class-A datacenter environments.
The door ships as a complete assembly with hinges, lock hardware, and gasket pre-installed — installation is four screws into FlexFusion cabinet frame threaded inserts, 15 minutes per door. RoHS compliance meets federal FAR 52.223-21 and California SB 20/50 restrictions on lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in IT infrastructure hardware. For hot-aisle containment deployments, pair with Panduit's solid rear doors (XG-DRSS series) to force front-intake cooling; for cold-aisle containment, use perforated front and rear to maximize exhaust flow. The split-hinge design and tool-free lock upgrades make the XG-DRSP745W the field-flexible choice for FlexFusion builds where thermal performance and future security scalability outweigh upfront cost.
