Liebert 15500 SA1-01002S Passive 1U Airflow Management Device

SKU CH-9SA3-1MGJH MPN 15500

Passive 1U airflow-management device channels front-of-rack cold air to rear-mounted switch intakes

  • Channels cool air to rear-mounted network gear
  • Passive 1U design fits standard rack space
  • Prevents overheating of switches and routers
  • Directs front cold-aisle airflow to equipment intakes
  • Reduces failure risk from inadequate cooling

Purpose and Application

The Liebert 15500 SA1-01002S is a passive 1U airflow management device designed for network racks. It channels cool air from the front cold aisle directly to the intake vents of switches, load balancers and routers mounted at the rear or top of the cabinet. This helps prevent overheating and reduces the risk of equipment failure over time.

Suitable Installations and Limitations

This unit suits data centres and server rooms where active fan-assisted airflow is not required or desired. It fits standard 1U rack spaces and works with existing front-to-rear cooling designs. It is not for buyers who need forced-air cooling, integrated fan modules or temperature monitoring capabilities. Cabinets without a front cold aisle supply will not benefit from this passive design.

Deciding Specification

The critical specification is the passive 1U form factor identified by model numbers 15500 and 1002. This defines the rack height required and confirms the device operates without power or moving parts. Verify that your rack layout provides a front cold aisle and that the target equipment intakes align with the channel path before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How does the 1U height affect airflow in a populated rack?

The 1U form factor lets the unit sit directly in front of a switch, drawing cool air from the front cold aisle and ducting it straight to the switch intakes without consuming extra rack space.

What mounting standard does the SA1-01002S use to stay secured in the cabinet?

It fastens to the front mounting rails of a standard four-post rack using the universal square-hole pattern, so no proprietary rails or brackets are required.

How far back does the duct extend to reach switches mounted at the rear of the rack?

The adjustable-depth duct slides to match the distance from the front rail to the switch chassis, ensuring a sealed path regardless of where the equipment is positioned.
