A compact environmental sensor pod that mounts inside the rack and streams temperature, humidity, airflow, and access data to the T18 Fabric DCIM platform. Standard on every T18 Enterprise Rack and container; retrofit to any third-party cabinet.
A single PoE cable powers the sensor pod and carries its data. Mount it once, forget it. Multiple pods per rack for top / mid / bottom temperature stratification.
Ambient temperature and humidity, air-flow direction and velocity, front and rear door open/close contacts, plus optional water-leak detection under the raised floor.
Zero-config discovery when plugged into a T18-managed network. Data lands in T18 Fabric as rack-level heat maps, PUE calculators, and alarm feeds.
Standard on new T18 Enterprise Racks and containers, but the same pod retrofits into any third-party 19-inch cabinet. One SKU across your entire footprint.
Configurable options are marked red. Contact engineering for special-order variants and turnkey integration.
