Tripp Lite SmartRack Side Airflow Ducting Kit
Ducting kit that directs intake airflow from the front of the rack to the side-intake on network switches and similar equipment. Includes foam baffling to separate hot and cold air paths, improving cooling efficiency.Overview
The Tripp Lite SRSWITCHDUCT SmartRack side airflow ducting kit solves cooling challenges for equipment with non-standard air intake designs. By ducting air from the cold aisle directly to the side intake port, it prevents hot air recirculation and improves temperature uniformity, extending equipment lifespan and reducing cooling costs.
Key Features
- Two 2U intake scoop ducts to direct airflow
- Adjustable depth universal equipment mounting rails
- Foam baffling to create separate hot-air exhaust pathway
- Prevents hot air recirculation to cold aisle intake
- Compatible with side-intake network switches and appliances
- Professional-grade construction for reliable long-term operation
Specifications
- Product Type: Side Airflow Ducting Kit
- Duct Height: 2U per scoop (one above, one below equipment)
- Color: Black
- Weight: Per documentation
- Baffling: Foam baffle material included
- Mounting: Adjustable depth rails for universal compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
How does airflow ducting improve cooling efficiency for network switches?
The ducting directs cooled intake airflow specifically to the side-intake ports on switches and similar equipment, ensuring they receive cold air instead of recirculated hot air from the rack.
What types of equipment can benefit from side-intake ducting?
Network switches with side-intake designs, storage systems, and other specialized equipment benefit most from ducting that routes cold air directly to their intake ports.
How does the foam baffling in this kit improve thermal separation?
Foam baffling creates barriers that separate hot exhaust air from cold intake air, preventing them from mixing and maintaining the temperature separation needed for efficient cooling.
Can this ducting kit work with both hot-aisle and cold-aisle configurations?
Yes, by directing cool air to side-mounted intake ports and helping segregate hot and cold paths, the ducting supports effective hot-aisle and cold-aisle strategies.
Will this ducting restrict airflow or create pressure problems in our rack?
The ducting is designed to optimize airflow distribution rather than restrict it; contact Procure.ae if you have concerns about pressure differentials in your specific setup.
How much improvement in equipment temperature can we expect from installing this ducting?
Temperature improvement depends on your current cooling setup and equipment; Procure.ae can discuss expected performance benefits for your specific environment.
What is the lead time for this airflow ducting kit in the UAE?
Lead times vary by availability; contact Procure.ae to confirm when this kit can be delivered to your location.
Does Procure.ae provide installation support for this ducting system?
Procure.ae can discuss installation and customization options for your specific rack layout; reach out to arrange support if needed.
What does this side airflow ducting kit include?
The kit includes ducting designed to direct intake airflow from the front of the rack to side-intake equipment ports, plus foam baffling for thermal separation.
Is this ducting compatible with all network switch models?
The kit is designed for equipment with side-intake designs; confirm compatibility with your specific switches and gear by contacting Procure.ae.
Can this ducting be customized or adjusted for different rack configurations?
Contact Procure.ae to discuss customization options if your specific rack layout or equipment requires modifications to the standard ducting design.
