Hammond VFMSPBK Black 44U Side Panel for Vertical Cable Manager

The VFMSPBK is the Manager End/Side Panel for Hammond's VFM Series double-sided vertical cable managers in 44U configurations. It is used by data center, network and telecom installers who need to close off the side of a vertical finger duct at the end of a row, where the manager is not sandwiched between two racks and the cable channel would otherwise be left open.

The panel is fabricated from mild steel with a black textured painted finish, matching the black VFM managers. It measures 81.13 in x 22.13 in x 0.38 in (2,061 mm x 562 mm x 10 mm), with the drawing showing overall dimensions of 81.12 in (2,061 mm) high by 22.12 in (562 mm) wide, so it spans the full 81.00 in height and 24.50 in depth class of the 44U VFM managers. Shipping weight is 46 lbs (20.87 kg).

One VFMSPBK part number covers every VFM manager width in the series ordering table: 6 in, 8 in, 10 in and 12 in. Each panel ships as one VFM side panel with six fastener bases, so it can be attached to the manager frame on site as part of an end-of-row build-out.

VFMSPBK is TAA compliant and made in Canada, and is listed as RoHS, REACH and USMCA compliant with ECCN EAR99 and tariff code 8538.10.0000 for procurement and export documentation. The VFM Series managers it completes use a 16-gauge steel frame with high-density finger duct, full-height removable covers and metal fingers at 2U intervals, creating a centralized cable spine for multi-rack systems; the side panel finishes that assembly with enclosed cable containment on the exposed side.
