Panduit announces PatchRunner 2 enhanced vertical cable manager
Panduit has launched its PatchRunner 2 Enhanced Vertical Cable Manager, which the company says is well suited for high-density cabling environments. It points out that the depth of the cable manager combined with integral Zero RU patching within the vertical channel saves almost half the space of a traditional cable management system. As a result, there is a reduction in square meterage that leads to cost savings for an overall network infrastructure.
The new design provides an extra deep 681mm [26.8"] manager enabling high management capacity for the latest generation of high-performance switches and Cat 6A cable, while its EIA-compliant rack spacing allows for standard 19" accessories. When used with Panduit connectivity, patch cords and racks, users benefit from a complete cable management solution that maximises density whilst minimising the area required for their network, says the company.
Integral to the expanded capacity and ease-of-use, says Panduit, is the horizonal cable organiser with its convenient access through a magnetic latching cover offering a secure top and bottom opening. The new design incorporates robust inset fingers with large cable bend radius and cable retainers on finger ends for easier access and cable security. The horizontal organiser is manufactured in strong, lightweight ABS and is available in 2, 3 and 4RU and offers larger spacing between fingers to maximise airflow and accessibility through the cabinet. Consistent cable bend radius is maintained through the finger design support for cables as they transition from horizontal to the vertical pathway. Integral zero RU vertical mounting capability enables optional installation of patch panels, small active equipment, PDUs and a range of accessories directly onto the backbone of the unit to provide RU space within the rack.
The PatchRunner 2 is shipped with "push to close' doors for ease of operation and is available in two standard colour options. Produced from premium materials, the PatchRunner 2 is claimed to provide a robust framework for structured cabling, maximising cable lifespan and minimising unexpected maintenance requirements. This latest solution expands Panduit's range of energy and light efficient white containment products and "Delivers a comprehensive cable architecture that regulates network equipment access, optimises physical space and enables easy cable maintenanc".
