Panduit WMPV22E NetRunner Vertical Cable Manager
The Panduit WMPV22E NetRunner vertical cable manager delivers organized, protected cable routing in a double-sided 22RU form factor designed for high-density rack deployments. Built for telecom rooms, data centers, and server environments where cable integrity directly impacts uptime, this manager combines hinged-cover access with integrated bend-radius control to prevent kinking and service loops that degrade signal performance. The 4.9" width fits standard 19-inch racks while the 12" depth provides generous capacity for copper and fiber bundles running between switches, patch panels, and connected equipment.
Key Features
- Double-sided cable management fingers on both front and rear faces maximize routing capacity per rack unit of vertical space
- 22 rack unit height (41.5") suits half-rack installations or segmented cable zones in full-height 42U/45U cabinets
- Dual-hinged covers swing open for adds/moves/changes without removing the manager from the rack, reducing service time during MAC work
- Integrated bend-radius control features protect Cat6A, fiber, and other structured cabling from performance-degrading kinks
- 4.9" W × 12" D × 41.5" H dimensions balance cable capacity with aisle clearance in confined equipment rooms
- Black powder-coat finish matches standard rack and enclosure aesthetics across mixed-vendor environments
- RoHS-compliant construction meets green building and corporate sustainability requirements for IT infrastructure
The NetRunner WMPV22E addresses a core challenge in structured cabling: maintaining separation and bend compliance as dozens of copper and fiber runs transition vertically between patch panels, switches, and horizontal cable trays. The double-sided finger design lets you dedicate one side to incoming distribution cables and the other to patch cords, reducing cross-talk risk and simplifying troubleshooting when you need to trace a specific run. Each finger is molded to guide cables through smooth curves rather than sharp 90-degree bends, a critical detail for 10GBASE-T and OM3/OM4 fiber where exceeding minimum bend radius specs causes packet loss or signal attenuation. The hinged covers stay attached during service—no loose parts to misplace—and provide tool-free access to the cable bundle when you're adding a new server VLAN or swapping a failed uplink.
This 22RU height is particularly useful in segmented rack strategies: mount one WMPV22E in the top half of a 42U cabinet to manage distribution-layer switch uplinks, and a second in the bottom half for access-layer patch cords, keeping each zone physically isolated. The 4.9" width is narrow enough to fit between a standard 19-inch rack rail and an adjacent vertical PDU without blocking airflow, yet deep enough (12") to handle the cable volume from a fully populated 48-port switch. Installation requires only standard square-hole or threaded rack rails—the manager mounts via integrated bracket holes at 1RU increments, and the black finish blends with APC, Tripp Lite, and Panduit rack ecosystems. For integrators managing compliance-driven deployments, the RoHS certification simplifies documentation for LEED projects or corporate ESG audits.
The WMPV22E is the go-to vertical manager when you need double-sided capacity in a mid-height form factor—particularly in builds where you're splitting a full cabinet into logical zones (core/distribution/access) or retrofitting an existing rack that can't accommodate a full 42RU manager. Panduit's NetRunner line is spec'd into enterprise and carrier-class installations where cable management isn't cosmetic—it's a reliability requirement.
