Panduit C2VED08I2638B1 Vertical Exhaust Duct

Product Description

The PANDUIT C2VED08I2638B1 is a vertical exhaust duct (VED) designed for structured cabling and data center enclosure systems. This component channels heated exhaust air upward and out of the cabinet, supporting proper thermal management within rack environments. It is typically installed by data center technicians or low-voltage infrastructure specialists working on enclosed rack systems where airflow containment is critical to equipment reliability and uptime.

This vertical exhaust duct is suited for use in data center and network closet applications where hot-aisle or cold-aisle containment strategies are in place. It is designed to integrate with compatible PANDUIT enclosure systems, directing exhaust airflow through a controlled vertical path to prevent hot air recirculation. Typical installations include server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network infrastructure environments.

Key Features

• Vertical exhaust configuration supports upward hot-air discharge from enclosed rack systems
• Designed to reduce hot air recirculation within data center and network closet environments
• Sold as an individual unit (each), suitable for single-rack or modular multi-rack deployments
• Classified as a hardware accessory for structured cabling and enclosure systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardware accessory for PANDUIT vertical exhaust duct enclosure systems. Refer to PANDUIT enclosure documentation to confirm fitment with specific cabinet models before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or data center infrastructure specialist familiar with rack enclosure systems. Power down or de-energize active equipment in the cabinet before beginning any structural modifications to the enclosure. Follow the manufacturer's installation guide and applicable data center infrastructure standards when integrating this duct into an airflow containment system. Do not obstruct the exhaust path with cables or accessories after installation.
