Nvent DCHS2 Horizontal Cable Manager 19 Inch 2U

Product Description

The NVENT DCHS2 is a single-sided horizontal cable manager designed for 19-inch rack systems. It occupies 2 rack spaces (2U) and provides organized, high-density routing of Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A cabling within data, telecom, and network enclosures. The hinged cover stays open during installation and maintenance, keeping hands free and reducing the risk of accidental closure during wire pulls. Deep cable compartments maximize cable density without forcing tight bend radii, and rounded edges throughout protect cable jackets from abrasion. The snap-in mounting system speeds up installation and eliminates the need for additional hardware beyond the included fasteners.

This cable manager is suited for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and commercial network enclosures. It is intended for use in standard 19-inch rack or cabinet systems and pairs with compatible vertical cable managers to create a streamlined cable management system. The single-sided design is appropriate for front-of-rack cable routing where rear-access pass-through is not required. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians, network technicians, or structured cabling contractors.

Key Features

• Single-sided design with hinged cover that stays open during installation and maintenance
• Deep cable compartments support maximum cable density for Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A cabling
• Rounded edges throughout protect cable jackets from cuts and abrasion
• Snap-in mounting for fast, tool-minimal installation in standard 19-inch racks
• RAL 9005 black textured low-gloss painted finish for a clean, consistent rack appearance
• Designed as part of a coordinated horizontal and vertical cable management system

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit cable manager for 19-inch rack and cabinet systems requiring 2U horizontal cable routing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage or structured cabling technicians following TIA-568 or applicable local cabling standards. Power down any active equipment in adjacent rack positions before routing cables through the manager to avoid accidental disconnection. Use the snap-in mounting tabs and the included 10-32 TPI and 12-24 TPI hardware to secure the unit to the rack rail before dressing cables. Do not exceed the cable fill capacity of the compartment, as overfilling can stress cable jackets and degrade signal performance.
