How to use

To install the APC Horizontal Cable Organizer, align the panel with the desired 2U rack space on your server rack rails. Secure the unit using standard rack-mount screws. Once mounted, route your cables through the organizer slots to group them logically. Ensure that cables are not pulled too tightly to avoid strain on the connectors. You can use hook-and-loop fasteners or cable ties to further secure the cables within the organizer for a cleaner appearance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your rack has 2U of free space available
• Ensure the 445 mm width is compatible with your specific rack mounting rails
• Assess the volume of cables to ensure this 2U panel meets your capacity requirements

Usage recommendations

For the best results, group cables by type or destination before routing them through the panel. Regularly inspect the cable layout during maintenance to ensure that no new cables have caused congestion or blocked airflow paths.
