Hubbell VM818 Vertical Cable Manager

Overview

The Hubbell VM818 is a vertical cable management panel designed for standard 19-inch rack systems. It provides 8 inches of width and 18 inches of depth, with an 8-inch deep rear cage, to organize and route patch cords and cables within server racks and network closets. This unit addresses the common deployment challenge of tangled, unmanaged cabling, which can impede airflow and complicate maintenance. It's ideal for environments requiring neat, accessible cable runs, such as data centers, enterprise network closets, and telecommunications rooms.

Compatibility

This vertical cable manager is designed for use with standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It is compatible with most rack-mount equipment that utilizes standard EIA-310 mounting dimensions. The 8-inch width accommodates a significant number of patch cables, while the 18-inch depth ensures ample space for routing and strain relief for various cable types, including Cat6a and fiber optic patch cords. It integrates seamlessly into existing rack infrastructure without requiring proprietary hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation involves securing the VM818 unit to the vertical mounting rails of a standard 19-inch rack using the provided hardware. Ensure the rack rails are properly aligned and that the unit is mounted securely to support the weight of the cables it will contain. The rear cage provides additional support and containment for cables entering or exiting the manager from the rear of the rack. Proper cable tie-down points are integrated to maintain organization.
