Cable management & rack accessories

Cable managers, blanking panels, shelves and plinths: the parts that keep a rack row tidy and its airflow sealed.

Most problems in a finished rack row come from small parts that were left out: cables with nowhere to go, empty U spaces that leak air, equipment resting on rails it was not designed for.

We make the accessories alongside the racks, so they fit the frame and the layout the first time.

General arrangement, not to scale

Where it is used

  • New rack rows
  • Re-dressing congested racks
  • Containment upgrades (blanking and sealing)
  • Patching rows and comms rooms

What to specify

The decisions that set the size and price. Answer what you can; we fill the gaps at survey.

Vertical cable managers
Carry cables from top to bottom of the rack beside the 19-inch rails. Size them from the cable count.
Horizontal cable managers
1U or 2U managers with fingers between patch panels and switches hold patch cords at a safe bend.
Blanking panels
Close empty U spaces so cold air cannot bypass the equipment. They are essential with containment.
Shelves
Fixed or sliding shelves for equipment that is not rack-mountable.
Plinths & bases
Raise racks to clear underfloor cable entries, or level them on uneven floors.

Questions buyers ask

Will your accessories fit racks from another manufacturer?

Usually. 19-inch accessories fit any rack with standard rails; side-mounted managers and plinths depend on the frame. Tell us the rack make, or we can measure it during the survey.

Can you tidy the cabling in racks we already have?

Yes, through our structured cabling or AMC work: dead cables are identified, cords are re-routed through managers and labels are brought up to date.
