Rack Cable Management

Rack cable Management plays an important role in every computer server room for any kind of Information Technology setup and Rack shelves are their integral part. Our dependency for day to day life depends now heavily on Information systems whether we are at home, school, college, banks, shopping malls, hospitals and what not. We can say that without IT support we can not make our life going on even for a single day. It is very easy for us to go to bank for a withdrawal or deposit of money, do the transaction on a single window and get back within minutes.

This ease has been created only after the computerization of all Banking Processes. All transportation systems, shopping system, education system have been computerized and all the activities are now server based in which a centralized computer server is used to store and process the data received by several other computers which are connected to this server through different kind of networking systems via some cable or wireless system.


So if we are taking the Computers or IT as backbone of daily operations in our life then Server Networking can be taken as the backbone for IT setup. If our server setup is not installed or maintained proper then all the computer terminals connected to it for providing the services at customer end, can be paralyzed. Computer networks can be big or small, the server part has to be taken very carefully and the complete management should be perfectly right.

Servers are also computers but a very special and delicate type of environment is required for servers. Normal computer terminals can be placed anywhere on normal tables or stands but for servers we need to have a separate room which is known as Server Room. In case any user terminal is down due to some problem then there may not be any trouble to other users of that particular network if the server is working fine. In case of server goes down there will be no use of any number of computers connected to its network. Also the server computers have to be ON for most of the time while user terminals are operative for 8 – 10 hours a day. So the computer servers has to be managed in such a way that it can be running 24 hours without any down time.

Server machines has to be kept in such an environment that sufficient ventilation is provided to them for a better temperature control as excessive heating due to continuous use may harm the performance of servers. All the wires and cables coming out from them has also to be arranged for maximum efficiency and convenience of fast troubleshooting and repairing / maintenance. For server rooms we do the Server Rack Cable Management and here Server Racks has the most important role to play. These server rack enclosures come according to the requirements of server size.

There are different model available for this server racks like Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, Corner Wall Mounts etc which can be further classified as per like front glass open door or swing out door. By using proper quality Cable Management accessories and other mounting hardware all the cables and wires can be managed in a tidy manner. Different type of rack shelves are used for adjusting the sapce for the server cabinet according to requirements. Again they can be fixed, vented, solid bottom, adjustable, sliding type of rack shelves which we can choose as per specific requirements.

Looking at our ever increasing load on servers we always need to do some alterations at frequent time intervals. So these server racks are made with adjustable units so that in case of any up gradation of server we don’t need to replace the complete housing system. Various rack cable accessories are also available which can be used easily with such adjustable rack units.
