AC Infinity Cloudplate T7, Rack Mount Panel 2U, Exhaust Airflow - Network 19 Racks

An excellent well made bit of kit, with a few provisos.First, mine came with an euro plug (not UK) even though I've bought AC Infinity stuff in the past and that's come with a UK plug. Initially I just bought an euro to UK adapter as it seemed the neatest solution.Second, the fans are just TOO LOUD. Far too loud. Excessively so. I'm not sure how this has passed without much comment on other reviews. Even on level 1 (the lowest) you'd not want this in a domestic environment.I purchased one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072F1X1WD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and set it to 6V. This is enough to power the LCD display but slow the fans right down. Now it works great. Nice and quiet and a good range of usable speeds.

This AC Infinity panel is a game changer for my server rack. Even here in Japan, it works perfectly without any issues. The integrated temperature sensor is spot on, and the 5-speed fan control is a lifesaver—I can keep my gear cool without the annoying noise.It's also great that you can easily toggle the display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The build quality is top-notch and it looks incredibly sleek in the rack. If you want a reliable, quiet, and professional-grade cooling setup, this is definitely a no-brainer!

Quality was my first impression of the T7 when I opened the box from Amazon. Solid look and feel. Finish and temperature controller/display.Key features of the AC Infinity T7 are the full metal enclose, no plastic. There is a control for thermostat, and fan speed settings plus mode setting! The fans are all dual ball bearing quality units. The fan came with a thermal probe, 3 sets of fasteners, cable manager and the power adapterCustom settings of the temperature controller can be tailored to almost any requirement. The back-light of the controller display can be set to be on constantly or a ten second shut off which I liked! The buffer variation in "Auto Mode" and "Smart Mode" can be set to 2° or 4° so that the fan will start or stop in relation to the set point. A choice of Fahrenheit or Celsius is capable.Operation is simple. The "Set Point" on the control screen is a user select function for what temperature (of your equipment) you want the fan to control at. The "Probe" temperature on the screen is the temperature in the cabinet or in my case, air at the top of the receiver. "Mode Select" is for either Auto, Smart, On or Off. It also controls the fan speed if desired to low,medium or high. Can't ask for more than that!!!I highly recommend this line of fans for quality and performance!

Very nice, well made and simple to use. Also very quiet, the smart mode is particularly good.

It does everything that I expected and more. There are three modes of operation: (1.) Manual "On"; It stays on until you turn if off (2.) "Auto": It runs until it reaches 2 degrees below the desired temperature setting, then turns back on automatically when the probe reaches the desired temperature setting again. (3.) Smart: It runs at a higher speed until the temperature of the probe is the same as the desired setting. Of course, you can also manually turn the unit off.The fan is relatively quiet during it's full-speed operation. The noise wouldn't be objectionable in most home theater applications, particularly if it was inside a cabinet.You can set the light for the LED panel to either stay on all of the time, or to just light up for a few seconds, then turn off automatically.. Personally, I like to see the lights all of the time, so I set it to come on. I have three of them in a rack, and it looks impressive with all three lit up.The air blows out the front. There doesn't seem to be a way to switch directions of the fan electrically. You might be able to take it apart and reverse the fans-- I haven't tried it. It's put together with screws, not rivets, which is good. In some applications, it works better to have the fan blowing in, but it seems to work well blowing out in most situations.So far, I have nothing bad to say about it. It does what it says it does, and it looks nice. I just installed it, so I can't tell how well it will hold up for the long term. It seems like a quality product, however, and I expect it will last for several years without failure. Because it's assembled with screws instead of rivets, the fans can probably be replaced if they eventually wear out.
