Planning & Visualization Tools:
For architects, engineers, and designers, these tools are ideal for laying out designs, visualizing equipment placement, and meeting industry standards.
BIM Drawings: Download free BIM objects (3D Building Information Modeling) using Autodesk® Revit® software to create detailed and accurate installations.
AutoCAD Plan and Elevation Drawings: Download free CAD blocks of CPI products, including top, front, side, and isometric views, perfect for detailed design work.
Visio Shapes: For fast, simple layouts, use free Microsoft Visio shapes for CPI products. These shapes are compatible with Visio versions 5/2000/2002/2003/2007. 
MasterFormat™ Division 27 Specifications: Ensure compliance with communications construction standards using the most widely adopted specification system for commercial and institutional building projects.
eConnect Secure Array® Savings Estimator: Optimize your setup with this free visualization tool that shows how you can save by using CPI’s eConnect PDUs and Secure Array technology. Input your own data center attributes, like the total number of cabinets, and the tool will show you the difference in cost between using traditional networking and CPI's unique Secure Array IP Consolidation technology.
Product Selection & Customization Tools:
For IT professionals and data center managers, these tools provide interactive models and customization options to simplify product selection.
Product Configurator – Customize cabinets with accessories and receive everything you need for your project. Our tool guides you step-by-step through the selection process to create a personalized data center solution. Once completed, you'll get an itemized bill of materials, total list price, detailed rendered drawings, and a list of distributors or global resellers to purchase from. It also offers free architectural rendering tools to help visualize your project.
eConnect PDU Software Demo: Navigate this browser-based software for a hands-on experience with each PDU and discover its full capabilities. You can view branch and outlet power measurements, monitor alarm states, create outlet groupings, and explore PDUs connected in the Secure Array—a system that allows multiple PDUs to be linked and managed through a single IP address for greater efficiency.
Tools for Data Center Optimization and Performance:
For IT operations and facilities managers, these tools focus on optimizing data center performance and ensuring compliance with industry standards, while also improving airflow and energy efficiency.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis: Simulate and analyze your data center's airflow and temperature patterns with this free 3D simulation software for building design to optimize cooling and prevent hotspots. Get in touch today for a free analysis.
HCAI (OPM) Pre-Approved Products: Easily install CPI products in seismically active regions with our HCAI (OPM) pre-approved options. These products are certified by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI), formerly known as the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD). CPI continuously updates its product lineup with new OPM numbers by submitting anchorage load calculations. If you're still in the design phase, anchorage drawings are available to assist you before final OPM approval is granted.
