Overview

The Panduit PR2VFD08 PatchRunner 2 Vertical Cable Manager delivers ultra-high-density cable management in a compact, pre-assembled package. Engineered for next-generation network infrastructures, this single-sided manager features a durable metal backbone with molded plastic fingers for reliable cable support. With a 45 Rack Unit (RU) height and 8-inch width, it maximizes vertical space while minimizing floor footprint—ideal for high-density data centers, telecommunications rooms, and industrial networks. The fully pre-assembled design eliminates on-site assembly, reducing installation time and labor costs. A full-length, dual-hinging, push-to-close metal door provides secure access and cable protection, while the integral Zero RU mounting allows direct attachment of EIA 19-inch accessories like patch panels and strain relief bars within the vertical channel. The 26.8-inch extra-deep manager accommodates complex cable bundles, and the flexible Open-Access™ Vertical D-Ring components (sold separately) enable 360° rotation for simplified cable routing. Rounded edges prevent insulation damage, and 1/4" (M6) mounting holes secure components for structured pathways. Compatible with 28 AWG patch cords and block-out devices, the PR2VFD08 supports direct switch patching and angled patching configurations, reducing square footage requirements by up to 50% compared to traditional systems. Order the PR2VFD08 for a cost-effective, space-saving solution that streamlines cable organization and maintenance in high-density environments.
