Cable Management

The NetShelter CX enclosure has a cable access opening (cable port) at the rear of the enclosure. The 38U enclosure has an additional cable port at the top for cabling from above. Four vertical 0U accessory channels are factory installed in the enclosures.

A variety of other cable management accessories are available. Visit the website at www.apc.com and go to the NetShelter CX product page for a full list of compatible cable management accessories.

The cable port is large enough to accommodate several hundred ethernet cables and has a removable top cover. The design is such that pre-terminated data distribution panels can be installed effortlessly, with no need for de- termination and re-termination.
