The VFMMD8WH is an 8 in wide, double-sided vertical cable manager with a high-density finger duct design, intended for open frame rack systems in data centers, network closets and telecom rooms. Because it routes cables on both the front and rear of the rack, a single manager handles two-way cable traffic and forms a centralized cable management spine when mounted between racks.
The manager is built on a 16-gauge steel welded body in mild steel, painted textured white. Metal fingers spaced at 2U intervals organize cables at each rack unit and accept clip-on plastic finger guards (shipped loose) that help maintain proper bend radius for fiber, Cat6/6A and coax cables. Full-height removable doors are included: the VFMMD8WH ships with a 3-piece and a 1-piece 8 in wide door, dual hinged doors plus clip-on edge protection, and mounting hardware.
Overall dimensions are 81 in x 8 in x 24.5 in (2,057 mm x 203 mm x 622 mm), with 77.00 in (1956 mm) of mounting height equal to 44 rack units. The extended 24.5 in depth increases usable cable space compared with standard-depth vertical managers, supporting larger bundles and high-density patching. Published fill estimates for the 8 in wide manager are 648 Cat 6 cables in the combined front and rear channel openings at a 50% fill ratio, and 1,296 at 100%.
Managers in this series are designed to mount to racks rather than sit on the floor; plinth bases VFMB2BK and VFMB3BK are offered for end-of-row installations, and inner panels, cable spools and dividers are available as accessories. The VFMMD8WH is TAA-compliant, made in Canada, and RoHS, REACH and USMCA compliant.
Ideal For
- Data centers and high-density IT environments
- Network and telecom installations
- Cross-connect and high-density patching environments
