Panduit NMF2 Horizontal Cable Manager

Product Description

The PANDUIT NMF2 is a high-density horizontal cable manager designed for structured cabling and data center rack installations. It mounts in standard equipment racks to organize and route horizontal cable runs between patch panels, switches, and other active or passive gear. The NMF2 helps maintain proper bend radius on network cables, reduces cable stress, and keeps rack interiors serviceable. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data center cabling installers are the primary trades that specify and install this type of hardware.

The NMF2 is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, server rooms, and network equipment closets. It is designed for installation in standard 19-inch equipment racks and pairs with patch panels, keystone modules, and horizontal distribution frames. The high-density form factor accommodates a larger volume of cable runs than standard-depth managers, making it appropriate for high-port-count environments.

Key Features

• High-density design supports increased cable volume in rack installations
• Horizontal mounting orientation routes cables between rack-mounted equipment
• Helps maintain proper cable bend radius to protect cable performance
• Compatible with standard rack-mount configurations
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style horizontal cable management accessory for use with standard 19-inch equipment racks and enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or data center infrastructure specialists. Power down or de-energize adjacent active equipment before working inside the rack to avoid accidental disconnection of live network or power components. Follow TIA-568 and BICSI cabling standards for horizontal cable management and bend radius requirements. Secure all cable bundles with hook-and-loop fasteners rather than over-tightened cable ties to prevent jacket deformation.
