Rittal offers cable ducts and shunting elements

A Rittal product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 20, 2009

Rittal has expanded its range of high-density patching accessories with the introduction of two cable ducts for 1,000mm- and 2,000mm-high enclosures.

To complement the cable ducts, the company has also launched cable shunting elements that can handle excess lengths of cable and be applied as a radius reducer when redirecting cables.

Rittal cable ducts can accomodate large volumes of cable within the network distribution system

These products will aid in the accommodation of large volumes of cable within the network distribution system and reduce the amount of space employed for cabling in data centres.

The cable shunting element guides cables through special ducts for each height unit on the side of the distribution level.

Users can work on the 19in level without any additional elements thanks to the height-unit-related cable routing to the connection port integrated network, switches or the stated distributor level.

This achieves the best possible use of the height units available in the network distributor for connecting purposes.

The density of the connection points can be increased by up to 50 per cent to a maximum of 1,008 ports per rack, which can help to cut investment costs.

Rittal's high-density patching solutions can be attached to mounting angles, 19in mounting frames or on the side of the IT rack framework.

Back-to-back mounting is also possible, whereby the openings already integrated in the duct are used for routing cables between the levels.

A continuous system of punching integrated within the cable duct allows the continuous assembly of more cable management elements and structuring aids within the duct.
