Cable lacing bar StarTech.com CMLB102

The StarTech.com Cable lacing bar CMLB102 is a horizontal rack accessory designed to organize and support cables in server or network racks. Made of solid steel with a 2 in. offset, each lacing bar provides a stable mounting point to secure cables with ties, reduce strain on equipment ports and improve airflow within the rack. This pack contains 10 black lacing bars sized for standard 19" racks.

Advantages

These lacing bars distribute cable weight away from ports to reduce connector strain and potential damage, and they help route cables to improve passive cooling. Constructed from round solid steel, they resist bending better than flat alternatives and occupy only one-third of a rack U at each mounting point. The 10-piece pack lowers per-unit packaging and shipping costs for larger installations.

Suitable for

• Data center and server rack cable management
• Network cabinets and telecom enclosures
• Large-scale installations requiring multiple lacing bars
• Environments where passive rack airflow and port protection are important

How to use

Install the lacing bars horizontally on the front or back rack posts at the desired U positions. Secure each bar to the rack using compatible rack screws or fasteners. Route cable bundles along the bars and fasten them with cable ties or hook-and-loop straps to reduce tension on device ports and maintain orderly cable runs. The 2 in. offset allows easier access when pulling cables from the rear of equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, distribute cable weight across multiple lacing bars, avoid over-tightening ties near connector ends, and plan bar placement to maintain unobstructed airflow through the rack. The CMLB102 is covered by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.
