Cable Management Bars (Optical Fiber) | 266-OF Series

VERTICAL CABLE 266-OF SERIES – CABLE MANAGEMENT BAR, OPTICAL FIBER, 3 & 4 IN. DEPTH

The 266-OF Series cable management bars are purpose-built for optical fiber applications requiring gentle cable routing and bend radius protection. Constructed from 1.5 mm (16-GA) cold-rolled steel with a black powder-coated finish, they offer 3 in. or 4 in. depth options for fiber-friendly cable organization. Removable and interchangeable, they integrate seamlessly with Vertical Cable enclosures and patch panels.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 266-OF Series ideal for fiber optic environments:

• Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction: Built from 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) 16-GA cold-rolled steel for lasting durability.
• Black Powder-Coated Finish: Professional appearance that resists scratches and corrosion.
• Two Depth Options: Available in 3 in. (75 mm) or 4 in. (100 mm) to accommodate varying fiber cable volumes.
• Fiber-Optimized Design: Curved routing fingers help maintain proper bend radius for delicate optical fiber.
• Removable & Interchangeable: Easily swap or reposition bars as cabling needs evolve.
• Compact Profile: Measures just 1.0 in. (25 mm) in height with a width of 16.9 in. (430 mm).
• Wide Operating Range: Performs reliably from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) in up to 95% RH non-condensing environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
