Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aisle containment system and how does it improve data center cooling?
An aisle containment system physically separates hot and cold air streams within your data center. By containing hot exhaust air in dedicated aisles, you prevent it from mixing with cold supply air, allowing your cooling units to operate more efficiently and reducing overall energy consumption by up to 30%.
Is the Vertiv width connector compatible with non-Vertiv equipment?
Yes, the VC-FM-0002 is part of Vertiv's rack-independent containment solution, meaning it works with server racks and equipment from multiple vendors. This flexibility makes it ideal for heterogeneous data center environments.
How many width connectors do I need for my data center aisle?
The number of connectors required depends on your aisle length and the number of frame sections you're connecting. Each VC-FM-0002 connector spans 914.4mm (3 feet), so calculate your total aisle width and divide by 3 feet to determine the quantity needed for your containment configuration.
Can the Vertiv Aisle Containment System be expanded or reconfigured?
Yes, the modular design of the Vertiv aisle containment system allows for easy expansion and reconfiguration. Width connectors like the VC-FM-0002 enable you to add or modify containment sections as your data center infrastructure evolves.
