Intellinet 711074 19" 1U Cable Management Panel with 4 Long Plastic Rings, Steel, Black RAL 9005
Intellinet 711074 — 19" 1U Cable Management Panel with 4 long plastic rings, black RAL 9005
Intellinet 711074 is a 19-inch, 1U cable management panel with 4 long plastic rings that holds patch cords and power leads in a straight horizontal run between rows of patch panels, switches and servers in a standard 19" rack or network cabinet. It suits office comms rooms, small server rooms and any cabinet where patch cords are starting to hang in front of ports and ventilation.
The panel bolts to the front 19" mounting rails and takes exactly one rack unit (44.45 mm). Cables are laid into the rings from the front, so you can add or remove a lead without unplugging anything else. The finish is black RAL 9005, so it matches black (RAL 9005) cabinets, switches and patch panels.
Horizontal managers work best in pairs with a consistent routing plan: cords from the left half of a patch panel exit to the left edge, cords from the right half to the right edge, and each run drops down the side of the cabinet to its switch port. Doing this from day one keeps cord lengths short (0.5–1 m is usually enough) and means a new connection never has to cross the front of another device.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Intellinet 19" 1U cable management panel with 4 long plastic rings
- No mounting screws or cage nuts are listed by Intellinet — use those of your cabinet
What It Means in Practice
- One panel per 24-port patch panel or 24/48-port switch is the usual layout: put it directly above or below the device and route each cord sideways to the cabinet edge.
- Depth of the rings is what limits capacity: the long 68 mm rings take more cords per ring than short-ring panels, useful for 48-port switches or thicker Cat6A cords.
- It keeps the front of the rack clear, so you can read port LEDs and labels and pull a single cord without tracing it through a bundle.
- Front-door clearance: check that the panel depth (77.2 mm including the rings) plus the cable bend fits between the 19" rails and the closed front door of your cabinet.
- Label both ends of each patch cord before you lay it into the rings; once a panel is full, labels are the only quick way to trace a single link.
- If airflow matters, fill remaining empty rack units with blanking panels so cold air is not drawn around the equipment through the gaps.
What Will Not Work
- It does not fit 10" (254 mm) mini racks or wall boxes — it needs a 19" (482.6 mm) mounting width.
- It is a horizontal panel only: it does not replace vertical cable managers at the sides of a 42U floor cabinet.
- It has no brush strip or cover, so it does not seal the rack front against airflow bypass — use a blanking panel in empty units for that.
- It is not a tray or shelf and must not be used to carry equipment weight.
