Design engineers who need more cooling power in confined spaces can achieve it with Universal Air Filter (www.uaf.com) NEBS GR-63 (Issue 3) certified
filters. The revised standard reduces dust arrestance requirements for 1U and 2U equipment boxes from 80 percent (Issue 2) to 65 percent to increase air flow and avoid overheating components.
This new standard works well with UAF low-profile (as thin as ¼-inch) air filters with edge-to-edge design that trims away frame flanges on the sides of the filter providing complete, edge-to-edge ventilation. These filters are perfect for 1U and 2U compact equipment applications.
Universal Air Filter is the only Telcordia certified switch air filter manufacturer. Certification is a result of meeting the rigorous requirements of Telcordia NEBS for fire resistance, dust arrestance, particulate contaminant bypass, and temperature change that have been identified by the telecommunications industry as critical parameters. These characteristics help Universal Air Filter products support the highest level of
telecom equipment performance.
Universal Air Filter’s products meet the following standards and classifications: UL 94 HF-1; UL 900 Class 2, CE; Telcordia NEBS GR-78-CORE and GR-63-CORE; and, RoHS Compliance. When used as part of a fire enclosure, they also may be configured to comply with the flame-drip requirements described in UL 60950 and EN 60950.
A free, round-the-clock
prototype service is available to design engineers worldwide at
