Panduit C2VED06I3866B1 Net-Contain Vertical Exhaust Duct
Overview
The Panduit C2VED06I3866B1 is a vertical exhaust duct from Panduit's Panduit Net-Contain line, designed for hot-aisle or cold-aisle containment systems in structured data center and server room deployments. At 600 mm wide and 3866 mm tall, this black duct channels exhaust airflow vertically — directing heat away from IT equipment and toward overhead return paths or in-row cooling units rather than letting it recirculate back into equipment intakes.
In a data center infrastructure containment scheme, uncontrolled exhaust recirculation is one of the primary drivers of elevated inlet temperatures and premature hardware failure. A properly sized vertical exhaust duct like the C2VED06I3866B1 separates the hot exhaust stream at the source, which allows precision cooling systems to operate at higher set points — reducing compressor load and energy spend without sacrificing thermal margins.
Key Features
- 600 mm Width: matches standard two-post and four-post rack bay widths common in high-density row deployments, so the duct aligns cleanly without custom fabrication at the aisle end.
- 3866 mm Height: covers full floor-to-ceiling containment height in most raised-floor and slab data center environments, eliminating bypass gaps where warm air can leak back into the cold aisle.
- Net-Contain System Integration: part of Panduit's structured cabling and containment ecosystem, which means mounting hardware, end-of-row panels, and ceiling tiles are engineered to mate with this duct without field adaptation.
- Black Finish: standard color for hot-aisle containment deployments where visual differentiation between hot and cold zones is part of the facilities management discipline.
Integration and Compatibility
The C2VED06I3866B1 is intended for integration within Panduit's Net-Contain containment system. Consult Panduit's containment planning resources and verify rack row dimensions, ceiling height, and airflow direction before ordering. Compatibility with specific rack and cabinet systems should be confirmed against your row configuration and aisle containment design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the C2VED06I3866B1?
A: The C2VED06I3866B1 is 600 mm wide and 3866 mm tall. No additional dimensional data is confirmed in current evidence.
Q: What product line does the C2VED06I3866B1 belong to?
A: It belongs to Panduit's Net-Contain line, which is Panduit's data center aisle containment system.
Q: What color is the C2VED06I3866B1?
A: Black.
Q: Is the C2VED06I3866B1 compatible with any rack brand, or only Panduit racks?
A: The duct is part of the Panduit Net-Contain system. Cross-brand rack compatibility should be verified against your specific row configuration using Panduit's containment planning documentation before purchase.
The C2VED06I3866B1 is a straightforward component, but its 3866 mm height is the detail worth paying attention to — that's a purpose-built floor-to-deck dimension that eliminates the bypass gap that kills containment efficiency in a lot of field-built aisle enclosures. If your ceiling height doesn't match, you'll need to verify trim options before committing to this SKU.
Technical Highlights:
- 600 mm Width: aligns with standard rack bay width — no field cutting or custom adapter plates needed at the aisle face in a correctly planned row.
- 3866 mm Height: designed for full floor-to-ceiling containment; leaves no vertical gap for hot exhaust to bypass back into the cold supply stream.
- Net-Contain System Membership: Panduit's containment ecosystem provides matched end-of-row panels and ceiling tiles, reducing field improvisation that introduces bypass leakage.
Deployment Considerations:
- Measure your floor-to-deck clearance carefully before ordering — at 3866 mm this duct is fixed height, and a mismatch means either a gap at the top or a duct that won't fit under structural elements.
- Evidence does not confirm material spec, airflow rating, or fire rating for this SKU — verify with Panduit's Net-Contain documentation if those parameters are required by your facilities team or local code.
Best fit for a new hot-aisle containment build in a raised-floor data center where row height has been pre-confirmed against Net-Contain system drawings — not a retrofit drop-in without upfront dimensional verification.
