Panduit RFG5DSMY Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet

Product Description

The PANDUIT RFG5DSMY is a raised floor air sealing grommet designed to close off cable cutouts in raised access floor tiles. It blocks uncontrolled airflow through unused or partially used floor openings, helping data center and server room managers maintain proper hot aisle and cold aisle separation. By sealing gaps around cables passing through raised floor panels, it reduces bypass airflow that would otherwise degrade cooling efficiency. Facilities technicians and data center infrastructure teams typically install this grommet as part of an airflow management program in mission-critical environments.

This grommet fits into raised access floor tile cutouts and accommodates cable bundles passing through the floor plenum. It is suited for data centers, network operation centers, and commercial server rooms where pressurized underfloor cooling distribution is in use. The flexible seal conforms around cable bundles to minimize open area and reduce conditioned air loss through the floor system.

Key Features

• Seals raised floor tile cutouts to control bypass airflow in data center environments
• Accommodates cable bundles passing through the floor plenum
• Supports hot aisle and cold aisle containment strategies
• Sold individually for targeted placement at specific floor penetrations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation grommet for standard raised access floor tile cable cutouts commonly found in data center and network room environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by data center facilities technicians or low-voltage cabling crews. Power down or de-energize any equipment being serviced before routing cables through the floor opening. Feed existing cable bundles through the grommet opening before seating the grommet into the floor tile cutout, as retrofitting around live cable bundles may require a split-style approach. Follow applicable building and fire codes for penetration sealing where plenum fire ratings are required.
