SCHROFF 1U Air Baffle for 19" Fan Trays, RAL 7035, Model 10713140

The SCHROFF 1U Air Baffle for 19" Fan Trays, finished in light grey RAL 7035, is a specialized thermal management accessory engineered to optimize airflow within server racks and network enclosures. Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard 19-inch fan trays, this 1U component directs cooling air precisely where it is needed, preventing thermal pockets and improving the overall operational stability of sensitive IT hardware and electronic equipment.

Advantages

This SCHROFF air baffle significantly enhances the cooling efficiency of rack-mounted systems by creating a controlled airflow path. By guiding air directly through high-density server environments, it reduces hot spots and lowers the thermal load on active components, which helps extend the lifespan of critical hardware. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding data center environments, while the standard 19-inch form factor allows for straightforward installation within existing cabinet setups. Additionally, the neutral light grey RAL 7035 finish maintains a professional and uniform appearance across standard server rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Optimizing airflow in 19-inch server racks and network enclosures
• Enhancing cooling efficiency for rack-mounted fan trays
• Managing thermal loads in data centers and telecommunication rooms
• Protecting sensitive IT hardware and electronic equipment from overheating

When it may not be suitable

This air baffle is specifically designed for standard 19-inch fan trays and may not be compatible with non-standard enclosures or custom-sized rack configurations. It is not intended to serve as a structural shelf or to support heavy mechanical loads within the rack.

Key specifications

• Height: 1U
• Compatibility: Designed for 19-inch fan trays
• Color: Light grey (RAL 7035)
• Application: Airflow management and thermal optimization

How to use

Installation of the air baffle requires an available 1U space adjacent to or directly integrated with a compatible 19-inch fan tray within a server rack. Align the mounting points of the baffle with the vertical rack rails or the designated attachment slots on the fan tray assembly. Secure the unit firmly using appropriate rack screws or quick-release fasteners depending on your cabinet type. Ensure that the placement does not obstruct critical cable routing or restrict the primary intake and exhaust paths of neighboring hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing server rack or cabinet accommodates standard 19-inch equipment
• Check the available rack space to ensure a vacant 1U slot is ready for the air baffle
• Confirm compatibility with your specific fan tray model to ensure proper alignment and airflow direction

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the airflow path and clean any accumulated dust from the fan tray and air baffle assembly to maintain optimal cooling performance and prevent thermal throttling of your IT equipment.
