Frequently Asked Questions
How does horizontal cable management help in our rack?
The ER7HCM routes patch cables and power cords horizontally across the rack width, organizing interconnects between adjacent equipment. This prevents cable bundles from sagging into equipment and blocking airflow.
What types of cables can we manage with the horizontal cable manager?
The ER7HCM accommodates patch cables for networking and data, as well as power supply interconnects. It provides structured routing that keeps cables away from equipment fans and air intake areas.
Does the horizontal cable manager affect airflow in the rack?

No, the ER7HCM is straightforward to install in APC Easy Rack enclosures. It mounts securely in a single rack unit and allows normal equipment installation below it.
Can we combine the horizontal cable manager with other cable management tools?
