Shop cable-management hardware for network, telecommunications and equipment racks. Wallco offers horizontal cable managers, D-ring panels, waterfall-style cable guides and related products for routing and organizing copper, fiber and equipment cabling.
Compare cable-management products by rack size, mounting style, routing capacity, cable-entry design and the amount of rack space required.
Rack cable-management products help route patch cords, fiber cables, power leads and other connections in an orderly path around installed equipment. Proper cable organization can make racks easier to service while reducing unnecessary cable congestion around switches, patch panels and other hardware.
Cable management should be planned as part of the overall rack layout rather than added only after equipment installation.
Horizontal cable managers mount across the rack and are commonly positioned near patch panels, network switches or other high-density connection points. They provide a controlled path for cables moving from one side of the rack to the other.
Different designs may use D-rings, fingers, covers or open routing structures. Select the design according to cable density and the level of access required.
Vertical cable-management products route larger cable bundles along the side of a rack. They can help keep horizontal rack space clear and provide a structured route between equipment installed at different heights.
Capacity should be planned with room for future additions rather than sizing only for the initial cable bundle.
D-ring panels provide open cable-routing points that allow patch cords and other cabling to be guided while remaining easily accessible. They are frequently used in telecommunications racks and structured-cabling installations.
Waterfall-style cable guides provide a smooth transition as cabling changes direction around rack hardware. This can be especially useful where large cable bundles move between horizontal and vertical pathways.
Copper and fiber cabling have different handling requirements. Fiber installations in particular should maintain the appropriate bend radius and should not be forced through routing paths that place excessive stress on the cable.
Before choosing a cable manager, consider cable quantity, connector density, bend-radius requirements, rack width, available rack units and the location of the equipment being connected.
