Rack accessory Supermicro MCP-290-00073-0N

The Supermicro MCP-290-00073-0N is a cable management arm designed for 2U, 3U and 4U server chassis. Made of stainless steel, this extendable accessory helps route and protect cables while maintaining airflow and access to server rear panels. Its extendable length ranges from 70 mm to 830 mm, allowing flexible installation in various rack depths.

Advantages
