Hubbell VM618 Vertical Cable Manager

Overview

The Hubbell VM618 is a vertical cable manager designed for 19-inch rack systems, providing 8 inches of deep rear cage management. This unit addresses the common deployment challenge of untidy cabling within server racks, ensuring that network and power cables are organized, protected, and easily accessible. Its specific dimensions are optimized for installations where space behind equipment is at a premium but structured cable routing is essential for airflow and maintenance. The VM618 is intended for use in data centers, network closets, and A/V installations where cable density requires robust organization.

Compatibility

This vertical cable manager is designed to fit standard 19-inch wide rack enclosures. It is compatible with a wide range of rack-mounted equipment, including network switches, servers, patch panels, and surveillance devices. The 8-inch depth is suitable for managing cables behind equipment that has a standard depth, preventing strain and signal integrity issues. It is not specific to any particular brand of rack or equipment, offering broad compatibility across most standard rack infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Mounting hardware is typically secured to the vertical rails of a 19-inch rack. Ensure the rack has sufficient depth to accommodate the 18-inch depth of the manager and the attached cables. The 8-inch vertical space allows for significant cable bundling. For optimal airflow and to prevent cable damage, route cables neatly through the manager's channels or openings.
