20848729

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 20848729 is a slot cover designed for 3U height and 4HP width configurations, featuring a depth of 220D. It incorporates a U-shaped front panel specifically engineered to accept an EMC gasket. This component functions as an air baffle to cover empty slots within rack systems, effectively eliminating unwanted airflow exits while maintaining structural integrity in electronics enclosures.

Feature Summary

• Provides physical coverage for empty rack slots to manage internal airflow
• Features a U-shaped front panel design compatible with textile EMC gaskets
• Functions as an air baffle to prevent air flow exit from unused spaces

Applications

• Covering empty slots in standard electronics cabinets
• Managing thermal airflow in subrack assemblies
• Enhancing electromagnetic compatibility shielding in rack environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against your chassis specifications before procurement. Confirm that the 3U height and 4HP width align with your existing rack standards. Ensure the U-shaped front panel interface matches your intended EMC gasket selection. Cross-reference the 220D depth parameter with available rear clearance to guarantee proper installation without interference.

Selection Notes

Select this component when airflow management and EMC shielding are required for unused rack positions. The U-shaped panel design necessitates the use of compatible textile gaskets for effective performance. Consider the 220D depth constraint relative to rear-mounted components. This unit is suitable for applications requiring standardized 3U/4HP slot coverage within Schroff-compatible enclosure systems.
