Hammond HCM198BK 8 in Offset Cable Management Bar, 10-Pack

The HCM198BK is a horizontal cable management bar (offset lacing strip) from the Hammond HCM Series, built for IT, network, AV and structured cabling teams who need to support and route cable bundles behind rack-mounted equipment. It is a formed cable manager with a 90-degree offset that stands the support bar 8 in (203 mm) off the mounting rails, creating dedicated space for cable routing behind patch panels, switches and servers. Each package contains 10 bars.

Construction is mild steel with a black powder coat finish (noted on the drawing as painted black smooth), described by the manufacturer as GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant. Overall size is 0.62 in x 19 in x 8 in (16 mm x 483 mm x 203 mm), with 19 in mounting centres of 18.31 in (465 mm) and a 17.50 in (444 mm) offset support span. Mounting slots are 0.188 x 1.00 in with a 0.250 x 0.375 in slot, and edges carry a 0.06 in (1.6 mm) x 45 degree chamfer.

HCM198BK mounts to EIA-310 mounting rails, so it can be positioned flexibly without consuming a full rack unit, and bars can be used individually or stacked vertically where cable volumes are higher. The low-profile 0.62 in (16 mm) height preserves usable rack space while adding cable support and strain relief that helps maintain bend radius and reduce connector stress. Mounting hardware is not included, and this part does not include hook and loop straps; it is compatible with hook and loop straps such as the TS Series.

The part is TAA-compliant and manufactured in North America (country of origin CA), is RoHS, REACH and USMCA compliant, and carries ECCN EAR99 with tariff code 7326.90.8688.
