Southwire 048-185/d5 Vertical D Ring Aluminum 5 Inches

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 048-185/d5 is an aluminum D ring designed for vertical cable management in structured wiring systems. It provides dependable support and organized routing for cable bundles in network rooms, data racks, and communication closets. The aluminum construction resists bending and wear, keeping the ring shape intact under heavy or densely packed cable loads. The smooth, rounded interior surface protects cable jackets from abrasion and allows cables to move freely during installation or service without creating unnecessary strain on the conductors.

This D ring is suited for commercial, educational, industrial, and residential installations where clean, consistent cable pathways are required. It mounts to building surfaces or equipment racks to establish neat vertical cable routes that improve airflow and reduce clutter. The open ring design supports ongoing maintenance and future expansion by allowing cables to be added, removed, or adjusted without disturbing existing wiring runs.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction resists bending and wear for long-term reliability
• 5-inch size accommodates large or densely bundled cable groups
• Smooth rounded interior protects cable jacket integrity during routing
• Open D ring design allows easy cable access for adds, moves, and changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard accessory for structured cabling and cable management systems in data, network, and communication enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or electricians following structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568. Power down or de-energize adjacent active equipment before routing cables through the ring to avoid accidental contact. Secure the ring to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners for the surface material. Do not exceed the cable fill capacity of the ring, as overfilling can stress cable jackets and degrade signal performance.
