Eaton Tripp Lite SRL90BEND18 SmartRack 90 Degree 18 in. Cable Bend
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite SRL90BEND18 is a meticulously engineered cable ladder runway E-bend, designed to provide flexible and efficient horizontal cable routing within data centers and IT environments. This 90-degree bend is essential for creating precise turns in overhead cable pathways, allowing for optimal cable organization above rack enclosures or open frame racks. It addresses the critical need for adapting cable runs to facility layouts, effectively mitigating cable stress and eliminating cord clutter. Constructed from lightweight, durable tubular steel, this E-bend measures 1.5 x 0.375 inches, ensuring robust support for cabling infrastructure. It is specifically designed to accommodate 18-inch wide cable runways and conforms to the strict minimum-bend radius requirements for high-density network applications, including Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cabling. This adherence is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and preventing performance degradation caused by sharp bends in network cables. The overall 33-inch wide bend provides a gradual sweep, further protecting sensitive network cables. Deployment is streamlined as the SRL90BEND18 ships fully assembled, ready for immediate integration into existing or new cable management systems. It can be installed either parallel or perpendicular to rack setups, offering versatility to span aisles or connect equipment rows seamlessly. Compatibility with Eaton Tripp Lite's 18-inch SRCABLELADDER18 and SRLBUTTSPLICE kits enables toolless assembly, significantly simplifying installation and reducing deployment time for engineers and technicians.
