Cable entry panel with brush and 4 metal cable rings, IT-BUDGET 19" 1U, rear-offset, light grey

The IT-BUDGET 19" 1U cable entry panel with integrated brush and four metal cable rings is designed for rear-offset mounting in server racks and network cabinets. It provides a clean pass-through for power and data cables while helping to reduce dust ingress and maintain organised cable routing in data centres, server rooms and telecom closets. The light grey finish suits standard rack interiors and the low-profile 1U height conserves rack space.

Advantages

This cable entry panel combines a brush gasket and metal cable rings to protect cable bundles from abrasion and to minimise dust penetration into rack interiors. The rear-offset design creates a recessed cable entry area that simplifies routing behind the rack, and the slim 1U form factor preserves usable rack units for active equipment. Durable metal rings provide secure anchoring points for cable ties or clamps, improving strain relief and reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.

Suitable for

• Organising and routing power and network cables in 19" server racks and cabinets
• Data centres and server rooms requiring dust reduction and tidy cable entry
• Telecom closets and IT enclosures with rear-offset cable access needs
• Installations that need low-profile, rack-space-efficient cable management

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for standard 19" racks and requires a free 1U slot; it is not suitable where larger bulk cable entry plates or full-width brush panels are required to accommodate very large cable bundles. It does not provide active sealing against liquid ingress or high levels of electromagnetic shielding.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" 1U, rear-offset mounting
• Integrated brush gasket for dust reduction
• Four metal cable rings for strain relief and routing
• Colour: light grey
• Designed for power and data cable pass-through in server racks and cabinets

How to use

Install the panel into a vacant 1U position at the rear of a standard 19" rack or cabinet using compatible rack screws. Route cables through the brush opening and position them through the metal rings to provide strain relief and organise routing. Use cable ties or clamps on the metal rings as needed to secure bundles and prevent movement. Periodically inspect the brush and rings for wear and remove accumulated dust to maintain airflow and protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the rack has an available 1U rear position and supports rear-offset panels
• Check that four cable rings and the brush opening meet your cable volume and routing needs
• Ensure light grey finish matches the rack interior if aesthetics are important

Usage recommendations

For optimal cable management, group related cables and route them through separate rings where possible, and avoid overfilling the brush opening to preserve the dust-reduction function. Use appropriately rated cable ties and avoid sharp bends at the entry points to minimise strain on connectors.
