Know before you buy
No, this is a 0U solution. It mounts vertically to the side of your rack, meaning it does not occupy any of your standard rack-mount units (U) and leaves your equipment space completely free.
The panels are designed to snap or hook directly into the mounting holes of most standard 19-inch server racks. This allows for a quick setup without the need for a screwdriver or additional mounting hardware.
The system consists of two 3-foot panels, so you can choose to install just one if your rack is smaller. However, it is specifically designed to provide a full 6-foot vertical run for standard 40U server racks.
Yes. By organizing cables into the side channels and away from the front of your equipment, you reduce airflow obstructions. This helps maintain better internal temperatures and prevents your hardware from overheating.
Absolutely. The panels include a removable cover that snaps over the finger ducts. This keeps your cables neatly concealed for a clean look while allowing you to pop the cover off whenever you need to add, remove, or troubleshoot a connection.
Yes, this cable management panel is TAA compliant, which makes it eligible for purchase by government agencies and suitable for use in facilities that require TAA-compliant equipment.
