Patching accessories

Rittal has expanded its range of high-density patching accessories with the launch of two cable ducts for 1000 and 2000 mm high enclosures.

The company has also launched cable-shunting elements, which can handle excess lengths of cable and be applied as radius reducers when redirecting cables. These help accommodate large lengths of cable within the network distribution system and can reduce the space used for cable in data centres.

The cables are guided through special ducts for each height unit on the side of the distribution level. Users can work on the 19" level without any additional elements due to the height-unit-related cable routing to the connection port integrated network switches or the stated distributor level.

The density of the connection points can be increased by up to 50% to a maximum of 1008 ports per rack.

Patching can be attached to mounting angles, to 19" mounting frames and on the side of the IT rack framework. Back-to-back mounting is also possible where the openings already integrated in the duct are used for routing cables between the levels.

In addition, a continuous system of punchings integrated within the cable duct allows the continuous assembly of more cable management elements and structuring aids within the duct.
