The VFMMD8BK is an 8 in wide, double-sided vertical cable manager built for high-capacity cable routing on both the front and rear of open frame racks. It suits data centers, network and telecom rooms, cross-connect and patching environments, and multi-rack deployments where a centralized cable spine is needed between racks.
Construction is a 16-gauge steel frame in mild steel with a high-density finger duct layout. Metal fingers are spaced at 2U intervals and are supplied with clip-on plastic finger guards (shipped loose) to maintain bend radius for fiber, Cat6/6A and coax cables. The finish is a black powder coat described as GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant, with the drawing identifying this part number as painted textured black.
Overall size is 81 in x 8 in x 24.5 in (2,057 mm x 203 mm x 622 mm), with the drawing showing 81.12 in (2061 mm) height and 24.49 in (622 mm) depth. Mounting height is 77.00 in (1956 mm), equal to 44 rack units. The extended 24.5 in depth increases usable cable space compared with standard-depth vertical managers. Estimated Cat 6 (0.25 in dia.) fill for VFMMD8BK is 648 cables at a 50% ratio and 1,296 at 100% across the combined front and rear channel opening, with 28 and 55 cables per finger opening respectively, and 1,152 / 2,302 through the rear pass-through.
The manager ships with dual hinged doors and mounting hardware included, and full-height removable covers keep cables contained. Cable spool mounting slots accept accessory spools, dividers and inner panels such as VFMAP8BK/WH and VFMFP8BK/WH. VFMMD8BK is TAA-compliant, USMCA compliant, made in Canada, and is REACH and RoHS compliant.
