New Product Announcement: CPI Introduces KoldLok Wave for Enhanced Thermal Management

Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI) is pleased to announce the introduction of a premium innovation in thermal management technology - the KoldLok® Wave™. The latest addition to our collection of KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets for superior sealing in CPI Passive Cooling® environments, the KoldLok Wave uses a wave-formed thermoplastic elastomer material instead of a nylon-bristled brush to form a tight, durable seal around cables entering and exiting openings in access floor tiles of the data center.

Because unsealed cable openings in access floor environments can allow valuable conditioned air to bypass equipment, the KoldLok Wave is uniquely constructed of a solid, yet highly flexible, thermoplastic material that will not break, stretch, tear or deform - even after repeated use - to ensure your IT equipment receives the cooling it needs to operate at a high level.

Split into two halves to create a Split Integral Grommet, the KoldLok Wave also offers increased cable capacity. Quickly calculate your exact amount of increased capacity using CPI's Cable Fill Tables here. For even more protection, an optional safety cover rounds out this brand new product offering - available individually or in 10-pack quantities.

But updates to CPI's enhanced thermal management accessories don't end there. We've also made helpful changes to the 9.5mm (square-punched) and M6/#12-24 versions of our HotLok® Snap-In Filler Panels. These include trimming the part number count from eight to four, offering a more universal selection process on these highly effective seal solutions, which prevent hot air re-circulation in between filler panels at the cabinet level. Available in packs of five or ten for both 1U and 2U heights, the snap-in filler panels also offer the option of value-added temperature strips for even greater thermal observation.

Of course, CPI's thermal management solutions extend well beyond just grommets and filler panels. We offer a complete line of thermal management accessories, including an Air Dam Kit, Airflow Director and all-important Vertical Exhaust Duct (VED) to form a total and true passive cooling solution throughout the data center or equipment room.
