StarTech.com CMDUCT1UX — 1U Horizontal Finger Duct with Cover
1URemovable coverFront mountM6 hardware included
The StarTech.com CMDUCT1UX is a 1U horizontal cable manager with fingers on both sides and a removable top cover, designed to sit between a switch and a patch panel in a 19" rack and hide short patch cords inside a neat slotted duct. Pass-through holes at the back let cables continue to the rear of the rack.
A covered finger duct is the classic way to make a patch field look professional: cords run from each port straight into the nearest slot, the slack lives inside the duct, and the cover closes over it. It is aimed at network cabinets in offices, server rooms and comms closets.
Before you order: Front mount only, 19" racks. The included M6 cage nuts suit square-hole rails; for threaded rails use screws matching your rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I install it?
Directly between a switch and a patch panel so short patch cords can drop straight into the duct.
Do I need one per switch?
Typically one duct per switch/patch-panel pair gives the tidiest result.
Is the cover tool-less?
Yes, the top cover is removable by hand for cable changes.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A covered 1U finger duct between each switch and patch panel is the single biggest visual upgrade in a network rack. The CMDUCT1UX ships with full M6 hardware and a removable cover, so it goes in quickly. For vertical routing add D-ring hooks; more options in our
rack accessories range.
✓ Buy it if you want to hide patch-cord slack between a switch and patch panel in a 19" rack.
✕ Skip it if you only need vertical cable support — D-rings are cheaper.
→ Also consider StarTech.com CMHOOK1UN5PK D-ring hooks, or Delock 67069 brush routing panel.
