Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got a NetShelter SX rack (and especially if you’re running a bit of a tidy culture), these APC vertical cable managers are the sort of “invisible until you’re not using them” upgrade. They help keep patch leads and trunking from turning into spaghetti as you move up and down the rack, reduce strain on cabling, and make future moves/troubleshooting less painful. For a reseller, the big win is not aesthetics—it’s operational: fewer snag points and a clearer airflow path when you’re not constantly kicking cables out of the way.

At **£185.65 ex-VAT for a set of two**, though, I’d only buy if you actually need vertical routing and you’re committed to organising properly. If your rack is mostly patch panels with short runs, or you’re not planning on frequent access, you might be overpaying versus cheaper lacing/side management options. Also, make sure you’re confident the sizing matches your rack setup—once you’re in, cable managers are the kind of purchase you don’t want to “almost fit.” Bottom line: **worth it for datacentre-ish, comms, and busy server room environments**, not for lightweight/low-change deployments.
