Panduit PR2VSD1296WH PatchRunner 2 Vertical Dual-Sided Cable Manager

High-density fiber and copper deployments demand cable management that won't bottleneck rack capacity or eat floor space. The Panduit PR2VSD1296WH delivers 52 RU of dual-sided cable routing in a 12-inch-wide vertical form factor, freeing up horizontal rack space for active equipment while keeping front and rear cable runs organized and accessible. Fully pre-assembled with a metal backbone, molded plastic fingers, and a full-length dual-hinging door, this manager reduces install time and long-term maintenance overhead in enterprise data centers, telecom closets, and broadcast facilities.

Key Features

52 RU vertical dual-sided design maximizes cable capacity without consuming horizontal rack space

12-inch width accommodates high-density fiber trays, Cat6A bundles, and power distribution routing

Pre-assembled metal backbone with molded plastic fingers — ships ready to mount, no field assembly required

Full-length metal door with dual-hinging, push-to-close latching for secure access from either side

White powder-coat finish integrates with Panduit NetRunner and standard 19"/23" EIA racks

UL 2416 and CSA C22.2 listed for North American telecom and data center installations

The PR2VSD1296WH's dual-sided architecture lets you segregate front-to-switch and rear-to-patch-panel cable paths within the same vertical footprint. The metal backbone handles the structural load; molded plastic fingers flex to accept varying cable diameters without snagging jacket insulation or fiber buffer tubes. Each side provides independent routing channels, so you can dedicate one side to copper horizontal runs and the other to fiber uplinks, or split by VLAN, building zone, or client. The 12-inch width is sized for typical 48-port switch and patch-panel pairs with service loops, while the 95.88-inch height spans full-height racks without requiring mid-rack splices or stacking multiple short managers.

Pre-assembly eliminates field labor and the risk of missing hardware. The manager ships as a single unit — mount the top and bottom brackets to your rack's vertical rails, slide the backbone into place, and secure. The full-length door uses a push-to-close magnetic latch and dual hinges that swing left or right, so technicians can access cables from the aisle side regardless of rack orientation. The white finish matches Panduit's NetRunner cable tray and most white-cabinet data center environments. For mixed-color racks, Panduit offers the same model in black (see PR2VSD1296).

UL 2416 and CSA C22.2 compliance covers fire-resistance and structural-load requirements for telecom spaces under NEC Article 800 and Canadian Electrical Code Part I. RoHS material compliance supports procurement policies for EU and California state-funded projects. The manager mounts to any 19" or 23" EIA-compliant rack with square, round, or threaded holes; Panduit's universal mounting brackets ship with every unit and fit all three hole patterns without requiring separate hardware kits.
