Advanced cable management for open frame patching racks
Schroff UK has introduced 2-post and 4-post open patching frames and associated horizontal and vertical cable management products, designed primarily for high cable density data centre and computer room installations. Manufactured by sister company Hoffman, the Cabletek™ family ensures that copper and fibre cable runs are optimised for ease of installation, cable density and protection. The heavy-duty free-standing aluminium frames are easy to assemble, stable and rigid in use; the 2-post frame is rated to support a static load of up to 450kg, the 4-post up to 1,130 kg.
AvaiUsed in conjunction with the vertical cable managers are 1U and 2U horizontal cable managers, available as single-sided units in both heights with depths of 150mm, or as 2U double sided versions with 150mm fingers at the front and 230mm ones to the rear. A single sided unit will manage 66 Cat 5e cables in a 1U version, 208 in a 2U; the double sided ones will take a further 223 Cat 5e cables in the rear section. The deep cable compartments feature arrowhead finger ends that move readily apart during installation or removal and hold the inserted cables securely during use.
