Cable entry panel with brush IT-BUDGET 19" 1U — opening 415×20 mm, light gray

The IT-BUDGET 19" 1U cable entry panel with integrated brush provides a rectangular feed-through opening of 415×20 mm and a light gray finish to match standard 19" racks. It is designed to guide multiple cables through a single horizontal slot while limiting dust and airflow between rack compartments. The low-profile 1U height keeps rack space usage efficient and the brush insert holds cables securely while allowing easy insertion and removal.

Advantages

This cable entry panel offers a wide 415×20 mm opening that accommodates bundles of network, power and patch cables without needing separate grommets. The integrated brush reduces particulate ingress and helps maintain airflow separation between rack sections. Constructed for mounting in a standard 19" rack at 1U height, the unit is lightweight, easy to install and finished in light gray to match common data‑center and network-cabinet aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers for organized cable routing across rack units
• Network cabinets and telecom enclosures where dust protection and airflow management are needed
• Patch panels and switch rows where multiple cables pass through a single horizontal slot
• Environments that require a low-profile, compact cable pass-through solution

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for horizontal installation in standard 19" racks and may not fit nonstandard enclosures or devices that require a different mounting format. It does not provide individual sealed grommets for each cable, so it may not be appropriate where fully sealed cable entry points or IP-rated ingress protection are required.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" 1U horizontal cable entry panel
• Feed-through opening (W×H): 415 × 20 mm
• Color/finish: light gray
• Brush insert type: integrated horizontal brush for cable retention and dust reduction
• Mounting: fits standard 19" rack mounting holes at 1U height

How to use

Install the panel into a free 1U position in a standard 19" rack using compatible rack screws. Route cable bundles through the 415×20 mm opening and push them gently through the brush insert; the bristles will flex to accommodate various cable diameters and hold them in place. To reconfigure or remove cables, pull them back through the brush opening—no additional tools are required for routine adjustments. Ensure cables are organized and strain-relieved on both sides of the panel to prevent undue stress at connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm standard 19" rack compatibility and available 1U height
• Verify the 415×20 mm opening is sufficient for your cable bundle size and routing needs
• Assess whether brush-style sealing meets your dust and airflow management requirements versus sealed glands
• Consider matching the light gray finish with your existing rack and equipment aesthetics

Usage recommendations

For best results, group cables by type (power, network, fibre) and use cable ties or Velcro straps to create neat bundles before feeding them through the brush opening. Maintain strain relief and avoid sharp bends at the panel to preserve cable integrity and connector reliability.
