The Rittal DK 7111.222 cable bars are professional-grade components designed for efficient cable management within server enclosures and IT racks. This set includes four 4U cable brackets, each featuring four individual 1U segments, providing a versatile solution for both horizontal and vertical cable routing. These durable steel components help maintain a structured IT infrastructure, which is essential for ensuring optimal airflow and easy accessibility to network equipment.
Advantages
These cable bars offer exceptional flexibility for managing complex cabling systems. The modular design allows for individual cable bunches to be routed systematically, while the integrated turning catches enable each bracket to be opened and closed independently. This feature simplifies the process of adding, removing, or rearranging cables without disturbing the rest of the installation. Furthermore, the ability to bay multiple units using the included connecting pieces allows for seamless expansion, creating additional guide chambers to accommodate growing network requirements.
Suitable for
- Organizing horizontal and vertical cable runs in server cabinets.
- Managing high-density cabling in IT distribution racks.
- Supporting structured cabling systems to improve airflow.
- Facilitating easy maintenance and upgrades of network equipment.
When it may not be suitable
These cable bars are specifically designed for standard server enclosures and may not be compatible with non-standard or proprietary rack systems. They are intended for internal rack mounting and are not suitable for external wall-mounted cable management or environments where space is too restricted to accommodate the 4U height requirement.
Key specifications
- Height: 4U per bracket
- Configuration: 4 x 1U single brackets per unit
- Material: Sheet steel support element with plastic brackets and catches
- Weight: 200 g
- Mounting: Internal rack installation
How to use
To install, mount the cable brackets within your server enclosure at the desired height. You can use the individual 1U segments to guide cable bunches horizontally or vertically. If you need to extend the system, use the provided connecting pieces to join two bracket elements together, which creates an additional guide chamber. Cables are secured by placing them into the bracket and closing the turning catch. Each segment can be opened independently to allow for future adjustments or maintenance.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your server rack has sufficient 4U space available.
- Ensure the depth of your rack supports the installation of these brackets.
- Check if your current cable volume requires the capacity provided by the 4U configuration.
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the turning catches to ensure they are securely closed to maintain cable organization and prevent accidental snagging during equipment maintenance.
