Cleaning the Interior of Patch Panels

Patch panels are literally filled with dirt- and dust-sensitive IT equipment such as routers, switches, hard drives, power supplies, etc. Since this equipment generates heat, cool air is continuously drawn in and warm air is expelled. This keeps the temperature conditions optimal and prevents malfunctions due to overheating.

As cool air is drawn in, (fine) dust accumulates in the patch panel. This dust settles on IT equipment and intake and exhaust grilles. Air circulation decreases and heat increases, raising the risk of malfunctions and outages. Therefore, it is important that the interior of patch panels is cleaned from time to time.

RIFCO has the right equipment and specialists to perform this task expertly. They work with utmost care to ensure no cables become loose or ESD damage occurs.

We recommend having the interior of patch panels cleaned at least once a year.
