AC Infinity CLOUDPLATE T2, Rack Mount Fan 1U, Top Exhaust Airflow, for Cooling AV, Home Theater, Network 19” Racks

The Cloudplate T2 is a great device to cool my 6U home network rack. The rack lives under the stairs in the basement, and was prone to heat build-up. I recently purchased two AC Infinity AIRPLATE S7's to circulate air in the closet. To assist with air circulation, I had a fan under the rack, blowing air up through the components. It worked, but was loud and unsightly. So the Cloudplate T2 was purchased to make the solution work a little better. The unit is very sturdy and professional looking. The LED screen is bright and easy to read. The temperature probe cable is long enough to reach any components, and enables the many dynamic fan modes. The options are easy to configure and installation into the rack was quick. The fans seem to be good quality. They have the ability to move quite a bit of air through the rack, while being quiet. Being on AUTO mode has reduced the temperature of my switch by 34 degrees F. Presumably I could increase that by turning up the fans, which would make it louder. But even on full blast, I can't really hear the fans outside the closet. The one issue I've faced is that I think the Cloudplate T2 is a little too deep for standard racks. My rack is 13.8", and the Cloudplate T2 is 13.5". If there were no additional cables, the Cloudplate T2 would fit perfectly. However the power cable and thermal probe stick out half an inch or so, which increases the depth of the rack, making it a tight fit. If the cables had an L-connector, laid flat, or if the unit was slightly less deep, the fit would be better. I was able to jam the unit all the way to the back of the rack, but I worry this will break the cables in the future. Maybe longer screws could alleviate this. Overall, this is a quality product, and with proper maintenance, I expect it to keep my equipment cool for a long time.

AC Infinity makes some great rack cooling devices and this is no different. The fans are quiet and the airflow is pretty good. The key thing is to seal the rack on the sides and back so that these fans can create an updraft. If you have an open back, you will not see the benefits. Was super easy to install and connects to other fans (like an intake) so the devices work in concert together. The cost is a bit higher than some others, but in all honesty you get what you pay for and I would buy again.

I finally put the money in a nice quality cooling component. It's really nothing more than cooling fans that are precision controlled. Aesthetically, it's beautiful, brushed gunmetal grey. Functionality is incredible with 6 cooling speeds and with those are varying decibels of noise. Alarm for overheating and even an A/C type function if your desired thermal temperature is out of range it will turn on the fans to cool accordingly. A very intelligent unit for what it is. It is of course designed for a cooling rack or server configuration cabinet, but I found this model to be optimal for open cooling to flush out the hot air these receivers generate and my model has a substandard cooling unit/power supply, but with a little research and some know how it has performed beautifully when cooled properly. This unit does its job perfectly purging the hot air from the unit itself in an upward exhaust. I recommend.

Cools my 8U wall mount network rack (with enclosed sides) very well. Dropped the temps in the whole cabinet about 12-15 degrees. Love the fan speed adjustment capability. I can hear it, but it is quiet enough for me ... keep in mind I run it in a laundry room/network closet so I don't really need silence in there.

Replaced an absurdly loud 4 fan 1U rack fan to cool our outdoor Network Video Recorder with many cameras and 2 8TB hard drives with this system. Room temps can get above 100 degrees and the NOISE from the old fans was aggravating but they worked. Finally, I decided to replace it with this temp controllable 1U top exhaust unit and it is amazing. Simple installation. Mounts just above the NVR in a small, open wall mounted 6U rack. A four fan laptop cooler sits below and supports the NVR on one of those 1U equipment trays. Together, even on the hottest days, the system remains well within tolerances - around 85 degrees. As the room temp drops below my preset threshold, the unit goes into wait mode. As for noise level, quiet enough to hardly notice. Well constructed and professional. Again, this is the Top Exhaust model and it definitely draws heat away from the NVR. Highly recommend.

Exactly what I needed. Good quality. Excellent product

Perfect for cooling my video rack

Very happy with this fan, good quality.

What I loved: The build quality is fantastic — solid metal chassis, clean design, and it looks right at home in a proper rack setup. The airflow is excellent, and it really does help pull hot air out of the rack and keep temperatures stable. The controls are easy to use, the display is clear, and the noise levels are surprisingly low even at higher fan speeds. It feels like a genuinely premium bit of kit. What made me sigh loudly: The price. It works very well, but it’s definitely on the expensive side compared to other rack fans. You’re paying for AC Infinity quality — which is great — but still, my wallet felt the turbulence. Should you buy it? Yes, if you want a reliable, quiet, well-built cooling solution for your rack and don’t mind the premium price tag. Performance-wise it’s excellent — just not the cheapest option on the market. Great airflow. Quiet operation. Premium build. Not-so-premium price. Still recommend it — especially if you care about noise, build quality, and long-term reliability.
