StarTech.com 5-Pack 1U Vertical D-Ring Cable Management Hooks for 19" and 10" Racks, Steel, Black

The StarTech.com CMHOOK1UN5PK is a pack of five 1U vertical D-ring cable hooks that bolt to the mounting rails of a 19" or 10" rack and hold patch cords and power leads in a neat vertical run beside your switches and patch panels. It suits anyone tidying a comms cabinet, a small server rack or an open 2-post frame where cables currently hang loose across the front of the equipment.

Each hook takes one rack unit, so you can place them exactly where cable bundles need support: next to a 48-port switch, beside a patch panel or at the top and bottom of a vertical run. The wide front opening lets you drop cables in and lift them out without unplugging anything, which is what makes D-rings practical for day-to-day moves and changes.

• 5 x 1U vertical D-ring cable management hooks (black steel)
• No cage nuts or screws — installation hardware is sold separately per StarTech.com

• One hook per 1U position gives you a support point every 44.45 mm, so a vertical bundle can be held at as many points as you need.
• Cables drop in through the front opening — you do not have to unplug a cord to re-route it.
• Works on both 2-post open frames and 4-post racks, and on 10" as well as 19" rails, because the hook only needs one rail hole.
• Five hooks are usually enough for one side of a 12U–22U cabinet; buy two packs for both sides of a full-height rack.

• Will not install without hardware — cage nuts and screws are not in the box.
• Not a horizontal cable manager: it will not hide cables behind a cover or replace a 1U finger duct between switch and patch panel.
• Not designed to carry heavy power-cable bundles on its own; spread thick bundles over several hooks.
• Does not provide cable labelling or velcro ties — add those separately if you want a fully dressed rack.
