Rack Cable Management — Vertical and Horizontal Cable Managers
Vertical and horizontal cable managers, rings, trays and brush entries for 19-inch cabinets.
Rack cable management includes vertical managers, horizontal 1U/2U managers, brush entries and cable rings. Vertical managers fit 600 mm and 800 mm cabinets, and horizontal managers use 1U or 2U of rack space.

Cable density is often the real limit in a network rack. Vertical managers on both sides and horizontal managers between switches and patch panels keep the rack serviceable.
Fiber needs a larger bend radius than copper; keep fiber in a separate manager where possible.
Best for
- Dense network and patching racks
- Fiber and copper separation projects
- Cabinets with frequent moves and changes
