If you’ve got an APC NetShelter rack and you’re trying to stop cables turning into a spaghetti monster, this vertical cable manager (the set of eight) is a sensible, tidy solution. The “ring” approach is useful in day-to-day operations: adds separation, keeps airflow paths cleaner, and makes adds/moves/changes less of a nightmare because you can route and re-route without everything collapsing back into chaos. For a UK reseller environment where gear gets handled a lot, it’s the kind of unglamorous accessory that noticeably improves rack presentation and serviceability.
Would I buy it at £142.64 ex-VAT? Yes—**if** you actually need that many pieces and you’re standardising on the NetShelter ecosystem. It’s good value when it saves you time and keeps your rack from degrading into a support-ticket magnet. But I wouldn’t bother if you only need to manage a couple of patch leads, or if your rack/cable plan is already well-controlled—then you’re paying for a quantity and format you may not fully use. Also, if you’re mixing brands or racks, double-check compatibility before you assume it’ll fit neatly.
