Leviton Vertical Front Only Cable Management 4980L-VFO

Product Information

Specification

The vertical cable management system shall be a slotted duct configuration for copper and fiber cable systems. The management system shall be cULus listed, PVC rated UL 94V-0, ABS rated UL 94HB, and compliant with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. It shall mount onto an industrystandard 19-inch equipment rack.

About:

The Versi-Duct Cable Management System uses slotted ducts to route cable. The system mounts onto an industry-standard equipment rack. Two vertical 40-inch ducts, or one 80-inch duct (comprised of two 40-inch ducts) span the full length of a standard seven-foot equipment rack. The horizontal and vertical slotted ducts come with cable concealing covers and an assortment of accessories.

Common Applications:

• Cable Organization: Keeping cables organized and routed properly in server racks to ensure that air flow is not obstructed and to maintain an organized appearance for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Thermal Management: By keeping cables organized, these systems help maintain effective airflow within the racks, which is crucial for thermal management in high-density server environments.

• Communication Cables: Managing vertical cable runs in office buildings for telephone systems, Ethernet, and other communication technologies.

• Accessibility: Making sure cables are accessible for future upgrades or changes without disrupting the entire infrastructure.

• A/V Integration: Organizing cables in racks containing audio and video equipment, such as amplifiers, mixers, and network devices for commercial or professional A/V setups.

Features:

• Versatile solution for fiber and copper cable organization and management
• Front only and front/rear configurations
• Cable concealing covers
• Mount on standard equipment racks with top, bottom, and side cable entry
• Duct fingers align with standard rack spacing

Standards:

EIA/TIA Standards: The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) provide standards for telecommunications cabling systems (e.g., EIA/TIA-568-C for structured cabling systems). These standards cover the performance and design requirements for cable management systems.

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Certification: For cable management systems used in the United States, UL certification can be important to ensure that the products meet specific safety standards.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO standards, such as those pertaining to quality management (e.g., ISO 9001), can apply to the manufacturing process of cable management systems.

Specification:

• Materials (channel): ABS rated for UL94HB
• Materials (cover): PVC rated for UL 94V-0

Construction:

The construction of vertical front-only cable management systems focuses on providing a balance between functionality (easy access and organization) and protection (physical coverage and support) of the cables. Proper engineering and design ensure that these systems effectively manage cables in various environments, from small network closets to large data centers.
