Siemon's New VPC Vertical Patching Channel
Protects, conceals and organizes high-density vertical patch cord routings between rack systems.
WATERTOWN, CT - Siemon's new Vertical Patching Channel (VPC) rack-mounted cable management system improves appearance and offer time savings with full accessibility and ease of access from both the front and rear of the rack. The VPC is a stand-alone manager, designed for mounting between adjacent racks, thus saving valuable space. Conceived with high-density applications in mind, the VPC is side stackable with each unit featuring an approximately 350 (Cat6) cord capacity.
The VPC features a front facing full-length hinged door to conceal patch cord routing. This door opens in either direction, or is removable for easy access to cable bundles. It features an open rear manager with rear channel retainers, designed for easy routing of large horizontal/backbone cabling bundles. The rear channel retainers can be hinged in either direction and are removable, enabling relocation to any position along the rear vertical channel.
Cable access holes along the length of the unit allow cables to route easily between the front and rear of the channel. All cable routing points on the vertical channels are rounded to allow patch cords to seamlessly enter and exit the manager without the risk of bandwidth limiting cable deformation.
The VPC's side mounting holes provide compatibility with common 76 mm and 152 mm (3 in. and 6 in.) industry racking systems, including Siemon's RS-07 and XLBET frames. Optional quarter-turn cable managers can be mounted within vertical channels for additional management needs, such as segregation of application specific cords.
The VPC is designed for use with Siemon's new RS Series horizontal cable managers, which feature a fully hinged cover that extends across the vertical channel to protect and conceal patch cords from the panel into the VPC.
