Preventative Maintenance for your expensive network equipment Regular replacement of mission-critical rack mounted electronics air filters is recommended by Ciena, and in many cases, is required to maintain warranty coverage. Most equipment manuals suggest replacing air filters at six (6) month intervals. We recommend inspection more frequently, due to air quality variations in central office environments. As a rule, equipment installed in high-traffic areas (near exterior doors, primary aisles, or under HVAC ducts), will get clogged/dirty faster and should be inspected monthly.Do not depend on third-party filter materials for highly sensitive electronics applications. Use only OEM approved media, such as UAF’s UL 94 rated Quadrafoam™, the gold-standard in flame retardant media used by a majority of major network equipment manufacturers. Capturing airborne dust and contaminants from entering your electronics ensures maximum uptime efficiency, and reduces costly alarms due to overstressed fans, power supplies, or circuit card failures.

What is a MERV Rating?
MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.
About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating
MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.
MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.
FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.
