Data Center Air Containment Cubes

Air containment cubes are soft, foam-filled, vinyl-wrapped airflow containment barriers designed to seal air gaps in and around server racks. These three-dimensional cubes compress to create a tight, form-fitted seal, helping prevent hot and cold air leakage in areas where blanking panels are not used or are not practical.

Their flexible construction allows them to fill gaps along the sides, top, and bottom of rack openings, making them ideal for small, large, and irregularly sized openings in data center environments.

Sizes & Configuration Options

Air containment cubes are available in a range of standard sizes, with custom configurations available to meet specific requirements.

Standard options include:

  • Thickness: 2″ or 4″
  • Depth: 2″ to 12″
  • Length: 4″ to 60″

Custom sizes are available.

Contain Air Leaks in Server Racks

AmCraft’s air containment cubes are constructed with fire-resistant PVC vinyl and filled with fire-retardant foam, providing a durable yet flexible solution for data center airflow management.

Designed to conform to virtually any rack configuration, the cubes create an effective air seal without rigid components or permanent installation. They are lightweight, easy to install, and easy to remove, making them well suited for evolving layouts and retrofit applications.

Air containment cubes may be installed vertically or horizontally and used with any size or style of server rack. Black is the standard color; additional color options are available.

 

Best Applications for Air Containment Cubes

Air containment cubes are ideal for data center environments where airflow challenges extend beyond standard rack configurations.

Common applications include:

  • Sealing air leaks in data center racks: Closing gaps around rack openings to reduce air bypass and improve thermal efficiency.
  • Irregular or oversized rack openings: Filling non-standard cutouts, cable pass-throughs, and uneven gaps where rigid panels are not effective.
  • Supplementing airflow containment accessories: Enhancing aisle containment systems, doors, curtains, and blanking panels to improve overall airflow performance.
  • Dynamic or temporary containment needs: Supporting retrofit projects, reconfigurations, and environments requiring frequent access.
  • Airflow containment foam seal alternative: Providing a reusable, form-fitted option compared to loose foam or improvised sealing materials.

Airflow Containment Accessories for IT & Server Racks

Air containment cubes function as airflow containment barriers for IT racks, helping direct conditioned air where it is needed and reducing hot- and cold-air mixing. As a form of airflow containment foam seal, they offer a flexible, non-permanent solution that adapts to real-world data center conditions.

FAQ: How Do You Seal Air Leaks in Data Center Racks?

Air leaks in data center racks can be sealed by closing gaps around rack openings using airflow containment accessories such as blanking panels, containment curtains, or air containment cubes. Air containment cubes are especially effective for irregular or oversized openings, as they compress to create a tight seal without permanent installation or restricting access to equipment.
