APC NetShelter Cable Management, Vertical Cable Manager, Hinged Covers, for NetShelter SX 750mm W 42U, Set of 2, 109 x 1778 x 13 mm

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is the sort of “small but important” rack accessory that makes everyday cabinet work less annoying. The hinged covers and proper fit for the NetShelter SX means you’re not faffing about with cable ties and random trims to keep runs tidy. In a 42U setup, cable management that actually stays closed looks better, reduces snagging when you service kit, and helps airflow stay more predictable. For £101.75 ex-VAT for a set of two, it’s fairly priced for something you’ll use constantly rather than once.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it unless you’re already committed to the specific NetShelter SX ecosystem (or you know you’ve got compatible rails/side layout). If you’re mixing rack brands, it can become a frustrating “almost fits” situation. Also, if your cabling is already extremely well managed, the impact will feel incremental—this is about neatness and maintenance convenience more than any technical performance boost. Overall: good value for anyone supporting or repeatedly working on NetShelter SX racks; questionable for anyone trying to improvise across different rack systems.
