Siemon has expanded its family of cost-effective open rack and cable management solutions in Africa with the new Value Vertical Cable Manager (VVCM) system.

The Value Vertical Cable Manager system has been specifically developed to integrate with Siemon’s 2-Post Value Rack, 19-inch Rack-Mount Horizontal Cable Managers and pathway support accessories to provide an equipment mounting and cable management solution that simplifies both the deployment and long-term management of critical network cabling infrastructures.

Easily assembled in as little as five minutes, the new 45U vertical managers mount directly to Siemon’s 2-Post Value Rack as well as other Siemon racking options, providing a cable management system that can be deployed rapidly.

Available in widths of 4 inch (10cm), 6 inch (15cm), 10 inch (25cm) and 12 inch (30cm), the VVCMs are offered in both single and double-sided versions to enable a broad range of infrastructure topologies, simultaneously supporting cord management for high-density patching fields, efficiently routing horizontal cables, mounting PDUs, and routing equipment power cords.

The Siemon VVCM line features dual-hinged doors with one-finger spring release clips at each corner. This design allows the doors to be opened in either direction and are easier to open, close, remove and re-attach than snap-on covers typically offered at this price point.

The VVCMs also feature Siemon’s high-capacity cable management finger design. Capable of managing large quantities of larger diameter cable and cords in high-density environments as challenging as 48-port, 1U Category 6A patch panels, the fingers align with each U space, providing clear pathways for transitioning into the vertical cable management space.

Within the vertical management space itself, the VVCM’s highly versatile divider plate design provides an array of mounting options for cable management accessories and PDUs, including quarter-turn managers and hook and loop tabs for efficient cable routing and bundle separation, fibre spools for simple slack management and standard PDU button mounts.
