Strong and Quiet Airflow
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.

Quiet! Efficient! Cooling!
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.

Final Product Review 5/27/20
The product is just what ACInfinity lists. The fans are the upper scale type and are a little loud at speed level 3 and up. For me the noise level is ok. The rack is in a network devoted closet built for this. However, my staff and I did some air volume test and we all came up with the same conclusion. The positioning of the fans is an issue. The design needs to be in a triangle layout, with at least one fan closer to the front position. Why because many devices intake and cooling ports are closer to the front than the back. We wish ACInfinity would have thought of this. However the digital setup including the probe is unique, and you can find the hot spot in the rack and place the probe there, to gain a small bit advantage for keeping airflow moving when absolutely needed. Nice. The case is well built, the packaging was well done. The instructions well, a little weak, but I figured it out. LED menu screen is very nice and clear, the internal components and wiring was pretty good and organized.For all the customers who are going to use this, make sure you leave at least 1U full space below the fan rack for proper flow. This product is not designed to be used 1U to 1U. you must have space below and a 1/2U is not enough. I wish ACInfinity would have included velcro or a mounting tape of some sort for the probe. This would have finished out the product install.Now, be advise this product took, over two weeks to get to me and my staff, WAY WAY WAY too long. Please with the quality of your products ACInfinity, you should be the best in all aspects of shipping too. Work on getting products shipped out as originally stated, Work on this please.—-Final ThoughtsThe fan unit I will say has a good quality to it. Strong and the fans are ok. Does a good job of moving air around. I would have liked a bit quiet fan setup at all speeds, should be half the Db levels at max speed. But the db levels are much higher at max speed. Its actually louder than the fans in all my 1u devices put together. The layout of the fans has been a small issue with regards to air flow. A triangle layout would have been better, much better or maybe four fans instead of three, either way need to have a fan closer to the front of the unit for the devices above the unit that have cooling areas closer to the front. I can not give 5 stars because of the layout of the fans, but I do give 5 stars to the quality of the product. Shipping and customer service, well, lets say needs improvement. I recommend this product as long as you know the facts.
Very disappointed –
Very Loud Fan!!
I purchased the AC Infinity CLOUDPLATE T2 in October â21 and have used it for the last two months. It works well but it is very loud at highest fan settings. Prior to installing, the internal temperature of my server was hovering constantly above 110+ deg. To help alleviate this I Installed the server unit on the wall near an A/C supply line to help moderate the temps. I also keep the ambient room temp below 69 deg to help with cooling as well. After installing the fan, the box temps did fall to an avg 90 deg and hovers here most of the time. Unfortunately, at this temp the fan runs mostly at speeds 5 and 6 (even on the SM setting) and can still be heard outside the room. As for the build quality, it is very sturdy and seems well made. It fits nicely into a standard server rack and pairs well with my other components. It is relatively easy to install although a second pair of hands might make it a little easier under similar circumstances.

Realiza todas las funciones que ofrece, el sonido en funcionamiento es perceptible.

Die Lüfter haben auf voller Stufe echt eine Menge Kraft. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist, wie bei AC Infinity gewohnt, genauso hoch wie der Preis. Die Gewinnspanne hätte man auch etwas kleiner gestalten können, deshalb einen Stern Abzug.

I just needed some fan cooling for my new 9U rack server case.I got a lot more than what I expected. The rack has a lot of customizability and can be daisy chained to act as the “brains” to control other fan systems as well if you have em.I was expecting something on the cheaper end since its off Amazon, but was pleasantly surprised to receive what feels and behaves like industry tier.If I need more cooling I definitely will be buying more stuff from these guys.
