Siemon launches RouteIT® cable managers for high density cabling systems

RouteIT cable managers provide a system for readily routing and protecting both horizontal cables and patch cords, to support high speed network cabling systems. The high capacity, field-replaceable fingers can easily accommodate more than 48 category 6A cables, to work seamlessly with high density patch panels and blade switches, whilst offering a finger radius that prevents deformation of cables entering or exiting the vertical managers.
Available as single or double-sided vertical managers in a full complement of widths and in horizontal managers, with either four or six inch management fingers, Route-IT is ideal for use with Siemon’s innovative VersaPOD® and RS series racks.

The double-sided vertical manager has matching front and rear fingers and doors, plus adjustable divider brackets offer flexibility to accommodate capacity where it’s needed - at the front for patch cords, or at the rear for horizontal cables. Available in 1U, 2U and 4U sizes, the RouteIT horizontal cable managers also feature removable dual-hinge covers for easy access.

Vertical RouteIT cable managers feature full-length, dual-hinged doors that protect and conceal the cabling, providing a high quality appearance. A single finger latch operation gives quick and easy access from both sides and the doors can be completely removed during initial loading. An optional extended width cover is available for use with racks in Siemon’s RS Series, to conceal extended depth channels.

“We introduced the new RouteIT Vertical and Horizontal Cable Managers to specifically address high density cabling systems in a variety of telecommunications spaces,” says Dave Valentukonis, cabling support systems business unit manager for Siemon. “The RouteIT vertical cable managers are extremely flexible: They come in six, 10, 12 and industry-leading 16 inch widths, with divider brackets that can even be positioned to taper capacity from the front to the rear.”

The RouteIT vertical cable manager is PDU-ready, with multiple attachment points for optional tool-less button mounting of PDUs within double-sided managers, or at the rear of single-sided managers. The vertical manager’s six inch central frame depth is optimized to match the rail depth of cabling-purposed racks for maximum capacity, whilst its free standing design enables easy staging and positioning of cable managers prior to attachment. The RouteIT vertical and horizontal cable managers also feature diverse mounting points for optional Siemon quarter-turn management accessories, fibre management spools and cable ties; thus enabling easy segregation of media types.
