Rittal CP 6212.110 Support/Profile CP 120 open, Grey

The Rittal CP 6212.110 grey cable duct is an open, cut-to-length channel designed for organized cable routing within enclosure systems. It features an upper channel wide enough to accommodate cables with large connectors such as DVI or VGA, and its open design allows easy access for servicing and use with pre-assembled cables and connectors. The duct is secured to connection components using four self-tapping screws in the screw channel and includes a cover section that can be locked.

Advantages

The product can be shortened to any required length without the need for thread-tapping, simplifying installation. X-shaped internal profiling increases load capacity while large cable routing channels provide generous space for multiple cables. The open construction offers straightforward access for maintenance and for routing pre-assembled cables with connectors, and the lockable cover section secures routed cables.

Suitable for

• Organized cable routing inside enclosures and control cabinets
• Systems requiring frequent access to connectors or pre-assembled cable harnesses
• Applications with large connector types (for example DVI or VGA)
• Installations where adjustable length routing channels are needed

When it may not be suitable

The open design provides easy access but offers less protection against dust, moisture or mechanical impact compared with fully enclosed ducts, so it may not be ideal for harsh or contaminant-prone environments. For applications that require sealed, IP-rated cable runs or very high mechanical protection, a closed or specially rated conduit would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Construction: open cable duct with lockable cover section
• Material characteristics: X-shaped internal profiling for increased load capacity
• Routing capacity: large upper channel suitable for cables with bulky connectors
• Mounting: attachment via four self-tapping screws in screw channel
• Install flexibility: can be cut to required length without thread-tapping

How to use

Mount the duct to the connection components using the four self-tapping screws provided in the screw channel. If a shorter length is required, cut the duct to size before installation; no thread-tapping is necessary. Place cables into the open channels, routing large-connector cables in the upper channel where space is sufficient, then secure the cover section and lock it if required to prevent unintended access.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether an open duct meets environmental protection needs (dust, moisture, mechanical impact)
• Required internal space for cables with large connectors such as DVI or VGA
• Need for lockable cover and ease of access for maintenance or pre-assembled cables
• Whether the duct length will need cutting on site

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan cable routes so that bulky connectors use the upper channel, secure the duct firmly with the self-tapping screws, and lock the cover section where access control or protection is needed; avoid using this open duct in environments requiring sealed or highly impact-resistant cable management.
