Frequently Asked Questions
What is a horizontal cable manager used for in server racks?
A horizontal cable manager organizes and supports network and power cables running across rack-mounted equipment. The HCM-2D uses D-ring prongs to separate cables, reduce clutter, improve airflow, and make future maintenance and upgrades faster and safer.
How does the D-ring cable management system work?
D-ring prongs are flexible cable routing points that hold cables in organized bundles without crushing them. The HCM-2D horizontal cable manager features multiple D-rings that allow you to thread cables through, keeping them separated and preventing tangling while maintaining proper bend radius.
