Anoka, MN – November 1, 2007 - Hoffman introduces CableTek Management System that provides support for cable bundles and individual cables in standard 19” data racks and simplifies moves, adds and changes (MACs). This system offers Horizontal and Vertical Cable Managers in a variety of sizes and allows simple transitions from horizontal to vertical systems, optimizing storage capacity, reducing cable expenses and increasing time efficiency. CableTek systems are EIA compliant and accommodate CAT 5e, 6 and 6A cables. Plus, CableTek systems offer tool-less snap-in mounting for easy installation. CableTek Management Systems maintain the proper cable bend radius for CAT 5e, 6 and 6A cables, and they are available in single-sided or double-sided horizontal as well as vertical options.
In addition, pass-through holes are provided for extra wiring flexibility, while an optional cable tie-down bar delivers rear-bundle support. “CableTek Horizontal and Vertical Cable Managers facilitate the quick responses to MACs required for today’s rapidly evolving technology, increasing data capacity requirements, and growing companies,” said Brian Mordick, Hoffman senior product manager for DataCom. “These cable managers offer durable, lightweight construction and a rich feature set.
