PSM-BLANK-PTX Use Case
Data Center Rack Cooling Optimization with PSM-BLANK-PTX-PTX
In hyperscale data centers deploying modular power shelves, unused PTX-PTX slots compromise front-to-back airflow. Installing the PSM-BLANK-PTX-PTX power supply module blanking plate restores proper air channeling, aligns with ASHRAE thermal guidelines and reduces hot-spot formation. Outcome: 15–20% improved cooling efficiency, lower CRAC energy consumption and extended server hardware lifespan.
Industrial Control Panel Safety & Dust Ingress Protection
In automated manufacturing lines using DIN-rail power modules, open PTX-PTX bays allow dust accumulation and risk of accidental contact. The PSM-BLANK-PTX-PTX blanking plate seals empty slots to maintain IP20 compliance and prevent particulate intrusion. Outcome: Reduced unscheduled maintenance, stricter adherence to IEC 60529 safety standards and enhanced operator protection.
Telecom Power Rack EMI Shielding & Modular Scalability
Telecom base‐station power distribution racks require continuous EMI shielding even when expansion modules are pending. The PSM-BLANK-PTX-PTX blanking plate preserves rack grounding and electromagnetic integrity across vacant PTX-PTX openings. Outcome: Consistent RF performance, streamlined future power-module upgrades and full compliance with FCC Part 15 EMI regulations.
