Panduit NetManager HC Horizontal Single Sided Manager, 2RU, White

The Panduit NetManager HC Horizontal Single Sided Cable Manager is a high-capacity solution designed to organize, protect, and simplify management of copper and fiber cabling in standard EIA 19 inch (483 mm) racks and cabinets. Built for efficiency in data centers, network rooms, and telecom closets, this 2RU white cable manager optimizes space while delivering reliable performance in demanding environments. Its design emphasizes quick installation, clean cable routing, and long-term cable longevity, making it an ideal choice for evolving networks that require scalable, future-ready infrastructure.

• Efficient 2RU footprint for dense rack layouts: The compact height maximizes available mounting space in standard 19" racks, letting you fit multiple devices and patch panels without sacrificing cable management capacity. This space-saving design is perfect for high-density environments where every inch matters.
• Single-sided horizontal configuration with generous front finger openings: Large finger openings accommodate Cat6 and Cat6A cables, plus fiber jumpers, enabling fast, tool-free cable insertion and simplified routing. The wide access reduces installation time and decreases the risk of damaging cables during pull-ins.
• Durable construction for reliable long-term performance: Crafted from sturdy steel with a durable white powder-coated finish, the NetManager HC offers robust protection against daily wear, incidental impacts, and environmental factors found in data centers and network closets.
• Clear, organized cable routing supports future growth: The horizontal layout and integrated guides promote clean cable paths, maintain proper bend radii, and prevent tangling. This reduces maintenance costs while improving airflow, cooling efficiency, and overall network reliability.
• Cost-effective, scalable solution for copper and fiber networks: By consolidating and protecting diverse cable types in one accessible housing, this NetManager minimizes downtime, eases upgrades, and streamlines patching and re-cabling projects—ultimately lowering total cost of ownership.

How to install Panduit NetManager HC Horizontal Single Sided Manager

• Prepare the rack: Confirm that the 19" rack or cabinet is clean, properly grounded, and has sufficient rear clearance for cable routing and access. Remove any obstructing panels if needed to allow full engagement of the NetManager HC with mounting rails.
• Position and align: Hold the NetManager HC so that its mounting feet align with standard 19" rack rails. Ensure the unit sits level and that the front finger openings face the user for easy cable access and maintenance.
• Secure to rack: Use the appropriate mounting hardware specified for your rack (usually cage nuts and screws) to fasten the NetManager HC to the rack rails at the top and bottom of the unit. Tighten securely to prevent vibration or movement during cable management activities.
• Route and organize cables: Begin routing copper and fiber cables through the large front finger openings. Arrange cables in clean, horizontal bundles, keeping copper and fiber types separated where possible, and maintain recommended bend radii. Use zip ties or velcro straps to secure the cables, ensuring they do not compress or kink any cables.
• Label and test: Apply clear labeling to cables for quick identification and future maintenance. After routing, verify that airflow around the manager remains unobstructed and that all cables reach their destinations without excessive tension. Re-check connections and power up equipment to confirm proper operation and signal integrity.
