Slim Specifications

Zero-U Space Efficiency

The 0U design attaches to the side of your rack without occupying any mounting units. This maximises your available space for active equipment. Because the panels mount vertically, they keep cables organised without reducing the height capacity of your rack. This preserves valuable RU space for servers and switches.

Tool-Less Installation Options

The panels feature a tool-less mounting method using keyhole-shaped holes found on standard racks. You can also attach them to horizontal mounting rails. This versatility allows for quick deployment and repositioning. However, if your rack uses non-standardised holes, you may need to verify mounting compatibility before purchase.

Two-Panel Configurable Layout

The kit includes two 3-foot panels that can be installed end-to-end to span the full 6-foot height. You may also configure them on either side of the rack or front-to-back. This flexibility helps manage cables in multiple locations. It provides a tidy route for cables running from bottom-mounted devices to top-mounted hardware.

D-Ring Cable Guidance

The system uses a D-ring method to guide cables neatly through the panel. This reduces cable tension and prevents strain on equipment ports. Proper routing protects expensive rack-mounted devices from accidental disconnection. It also maintains a clean aesthetic that simplifies maintenance access.

Improved Airflow and Protection

Routing cables through the panel keeps them contained, which improves airflow around rack equipment. Better airflow passively cools devices, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures. This reduces the risk of overheating. Steel housing offers durability for long-term use in server environments.
