A system for managing heat generated by electronic equipment in an electronic equipment enclosure is provided. The system includes a duct adapted to receive a first portion of the electronic equipment. The first portion of the electronic equipment includes an air intake opening. The duct forms a barrier between the first portion of the electronic equipment and a second portion of the electronic equipment. The second portion of the electronic equipment includes an air exhaust opening. The barrier separates cooled air entering the air intake opening and heated air exiting the air exhaust opening.

Systems and methods for managing heat generated by electronic equipment in an electronic equipment enclosure

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for managing heat generated by electronic equipment in an electronic equipment enclosure. The electronic equipment enclosure includes a first pair of equipment rails and a second pair of equipment rails spaced apart from the first pair of equipment rails. The system includes a duct connected to the first pair of equipment rails and a bracket connected to the second pair of equipment rails and spaced apart from the duct. The duct is adapted to receive a first portion of the electronic equipment and the bracket is adapted to receive a second portion of the electronic equipment. The first portion of the electronic equipment includes an air intake opening and the second portion of the electronic equipment includes an air exhaust opening. The duct forms a barrier between the air intake opening and the air exhaust opening for separating cooled air entering the electronic equipment and heated air exiting the electronic equipment.

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a pre-terminated outlet assembly. The pre-terminated outlet assembly includes a device bracket, an outlet, and a plurality of electrical conductors. The outlet is connected to the device bracket. The plurality of electrical conductors is pre-terminated at the outlet.
