3750X -48-ports PoE in Rittal cabinet, no room for cables?

[carljohan_larsson]

Hi everybody!

A customer asked me a question today, since Im not a “Cisco guy” I have no Idea about this, perhaps somebody here have had the same problem before.

The customer has purchased a couple of “3750X -48-ports PoE” switches.

The customer has older Rittal cabinets.

The problem is that he is having trouble fitting the switches into his cabinets, the switches fits fine but there is no room for the cables in the back.

He is asking for some type of cables with a “bend”.

Is there anything like that?

Hi,

As long as the cabinet is standard 24", you can simply get a 2RU vertical cable management and installed it close to the switch and run all you cables through it.

Have a look at this link:

You can attack the rack-mounting brackets in the middle of the switch.

one more thing, if you don't have a lots of cables, the 3750X series switches come with a small cable management that you can attach to the switch.  The screw comes in the box also.
