Ortronics SHMC3RU-W Horizontal Cable Manager

Product Description

The ORTRONICS SHMC3RU-W is a single-sided horizontal cable manager designed for structured cabling installations in network racks and enclosures. It organizes and routes patch cables horizontally across rack units, reducing cable stress and keeping pathways clear for airflow and access. This unit ships individually and is suited for data center technicians, low-voltage cabling contractors, and IT infrastructure installers working with standard 19-inch rack systems.

This cable manager is used in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data centers where organized horizontal cable routing is required. It is typically installed between patch panels or switching equipment in open-frame or enclosed racks to manage front-facing patch cord slack and maintain a clean, serviceable cabling layout.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or IT infrastructure professional. Power down and depatch active connections in the affected rack section before mounting to avoid unintended service disruption. Secure all cable bundles using hook-and-loop fasteners or cable ties rated for the cable load. Follow TIA-568 and BICSI cabling standards for horizontal cable routing and bend-radius requirements.
