Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for compatibility with EIA/ECA-310-E compliant racks, the CMLB104 bars feature a 1U rack height profile, integrating seamlessly into standard rack configurations without consuming excessive vertical space. The 4.1-inch width and 19.1-inch length provide ample surface area for securing multiple cables, while the 0.4-inch height maintains a low-profile appearance.
Each bar is constructed from high-quality steel, ensuring long-term reliability under load. The package includes all necessary hardware for installation, with 20 M5 screws and 20 M5 cage nuts supplied to secure the bars firmly in place.

- Protects rack-mount equipment
- Reduces cable fatigue
Cost Efficiency
Purchasing in a 10-pack lowers per-unit costs and simplifies procurement for large-scale deployments.
- Bulk savings
- Consistent installation
Durable Construction
The solid steel build ensures the bars can handle heavy cable loads without bending or deforming over time.
- High weight capacity
- Long-term reliability
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data centers, network operations centers, and server rooms, the CMLB104 bars are particularly useful in racks housing switches, routers, servers, and patch panels. Their design supports both power and data cables, helping to maintain airflow and accessibility for troubleshooting.
Common applications include organizing Ethernet cables in network racks, managing power cords in UPS or PDU installations, and tidying fiber optic runs in telecommunications cabinets. The bars also facilitate compliance with cable management best practices in regulated industries.
Physical Profile
The bars feature a rounded steel profile that prevents sharp edges from damaging cable jackets. With dimensions of 19.1 inches in length, 4.1 inches in width, and 0.4 inches in height, they fit standard rack widths while providing substantial cable capacity. The 3.31-pound total package weight reflects the robust construction, and the steel material offers corrosion resistance for long-term use in various environments.
