Middle Atlantic HCM-2DR 2-space Horizontal Cable Manager

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic HCM-2DR is a 2-space horizontal cable manager designed for double-sided cable routing in standard equipment racks. It organizes and routes cables on both the front and rear of the rack, reducing clutter and improving airflow through the enclosure. This type of accessory is a standard component in structured cabling installations and is handled by low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and IT infrastructure professionals during rack builds and retrofits. The double-sided design allows simultaneous front-to-rear cable management within a single 2U footprint.

The HCM-2DR is suited for use in server rooms, AV equipment racks, network closets, and data center environments where organized cable routing is required. It is typically installed alongside patch panels, switches, and other 1U or 2U rack-mounted devices. Its rackmount form factor fits standard 19-inch EIA racks, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial and residential rack enclosures used in structured cabling and AV system builds.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rackmount accessory for use with standard 19-inch EIA equipment racks in structured cabling, AV, and network infrastructure installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or AV integrators using standard rack hardware. Power down or de-energize adjacent active equipment before working inside a loaded rack to avoid accidental disconnection of live cables. Follow TIA-568 or applicable structured cabling standards for cable bend radius and routing practices. Secure all cables with hook-and-loop or reusable ties rather than permanent zip ties to allow future moves, adds, and changes.
