Panduit PR2VRGSK12 PatchRunner 2 Rear Slider Kit for 12" Vertical Cable Managers
The Panduit PR2VRGSK12 rear slider system kit converts single-sided PR2V vertical cable managers into a dual-access routing platform for permanent backbone and horizontal cabling. Four steel slider assemblies mount tool-free to the back of any 12-inch wide PatchRunner 2 vertical guide, creating a hinged channel system that opens left or right for rear-side access without disturbing front-side patch cables. Designed for high-density fiber and copper installations where front real estate is committed to active patching and rear channels handle fixed infrastructure runs—backbone trunks, building entrance cables, and cross-connect links that change infrequently but still require periodic access for adds or troubleshooting.
Key Features
- Four black steel slider assemblies for 12" wide PR2V single-sided vertical cable managers
- Tool-free snap-in mounting—no fasteners or brackets required
- Bidirectional hinge design opens left or right to match aisle orientation
- Integrated cable tie slots secure cables without compression or kinking
- Engineered bend radius channels maintain TIA/EIA minimum radius requirements for Cat6A and OM4 fiber
- 3.6" (90 mm) height per assembly; 11.5" (291 mm) width matches PR2VFD12 guide footprint
- RoHS compliant steel construction for long-term mechanical stability
Each slider assembly features molded bend radius guides that prevent cable stress at entry and exit points—critical for maintaining Category 6A performance in copper and insertion loss budgets in single-mode fiber. The open-slot design eliminates the need to disconnect cables during rear access; installers swing the slider open, perform adds or moves, and close it without disturbing adjacent cables or re-dressing the entire vertical. Cable tie slots are positioned every few inches along the slider length, allowing secure intermediate support points that comply with NEC and TIA installation standards. The steel construction resists warping under load and maintains alignment even when fully populated with high-count fiber trunk cables or Cat6A patch cords.
This kit pairs exclusively with Panduit PR2VFD12 series vertical cable managers (12-inch width, single-sided models). The slider assemblies install in minutes—align the mounting tabs with the rear keyhole slots on the PR2V frame, press until the tab clicks into place, and verify the hinge swings freely. No screws, no alignment jigs, no panel removal. Once installed, the rear slider system stays in place through subsequent cable adds; the tool-free mount also supports tool-free removal if the cabinet layout changes or the guide needs relocation. Black powder-coat finish matches Panduit's standard two-post and four-post rack hardware.
Ideal for colocation facilities, enterprise data centers, and central office environments where cabinet density demands segregated cable pathways—active patching in front, permanent infrastructure in back. The hinged rear access model reduces mean time to repair compared to fixed-cover designs; technicians open the slider, trace the suspect cable, and perform the cutover without scheduling a maintenance window to unbundle an entire vertical. For integrators managing TIA-942 Rated-3 or Rated-4 builds, the PR2VRGSK12 provides the rear-side routing compliance auditors expect while preserving the front-side density that justifies the cabinet footprint cost.
