Hammond VFMAP6BK 6-Inch Spool/Divider Inner Panel, Black Steel

VFMAP6BK is a spool/divider inner panel for the 6 in wide models of the VFM Series double-sided vertical cable manager. It is intended for data center, network and telecom technicians who need to subdivide the vertical channel between racks and add defined routing paths for fiber and copper patch cables rather than letting bundles share one open space.

The panel is fabricated from mild steel with a painted black textured finish and measures 20.63 in x 5.82 in x 0.3 in (524 mm x 148 mm x 8 mm), matching the 6.00 in nominal width of the VFMMD6BK and VFMMD6WH managers. Multiple panels can be stacked vertically inside the manager to cover the height required by the installation.

Each VFMAP6BK ships as a two-item assembly: one VFM manager accessory cover and four fastener clips, so the panel clips into the manager without additional hardware being specified. As the name indicates, it is the spool/divider version of the inner panel, and it is listed alongside the VFMFP6BK solid inner panel as an alternative treatment for the same 6 in channel.

Installers should note that the VFM Series rear pass-through cable fill figures published by the manufacturer are stated without accessory inner panels installed, so adding inner panels changes the available rear opening capacity.
