PANDUIT 6ft Panduct Type G – Wide Slot Wiring Duct

Panduit’s Panduct Type G Wide Slot Wiring Duct is a trusted, high-performance solution for organizing and protecting cables in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networks. This 6-foot segment is designed to simplify cable routing, improve airflow, and reduce maintenance by keeping power, data, and fiber runs neatly contained within a single channel. Built to withstand the rigors of cabinet and rack environments, the Type G duct facilitates scalable layouts and fast reconfigurations, helping IT teams meet evolving bandwidth demands without sacrificing safety or reliability. Whether you are installing a new data center, upgrading an equipment room, or refining a dense server rack, Panduct Type G provides a flexible, durable foundation for clean, professional cable management that supports long-term efficiency and energy savings.

• Wide slot for simplified cable routing: The Type G profile features a generously sized slot that accommodates multiple cables—power, data, and fiber—in a single channel. This design minimizes the need for disassembly during changes and reduces installation time, making it ideal for dynamic data center environments.
• Durable construction for reliable performance: Built to endure the demands of cabinet, rack, and equipment room use, Panduct Type G resists cracking, deformation, and wear. Its robust build helps protect cables from abrasion and external impacts, preserving signal integrity and prolonging service life.
• Optimized length for scalable layouts: The standard 6-foot length provides flexible coverage for a wide range of rack configurations and room layouts. It enables clean runs across multiple bays and supports modular expansion without requiring custom fabrication.
• Seamless compatibility with Panduit ecosystem: Designed to work together with Panduit end caps, covers, and mounting accessories, the Panduct Type G duct delivers a cohesive, professional installation. This compatibility reduces the risk of misfit components and simplifies ordering.
• Improved airflow and cable organization: By corralling cables in a dedicated channel, the wide-slot duct reduces cable clutter in front-of-rack areas, supporting better airflow, easier heat management, and quicker future reconfigurations.

How to install PANDUIT 6ft Panduct Type G - Wide Slot Wiring Duct

1) Plan the route and layout: Begin by surveying the cabinet or rack, identifying cable pathways, and noting where the 6-foot sections will be placed to maximize accessibility and airflow. Consider the position of power distribution units, network switches, and patch panels to optimize routing.

2) Gather components and tools: Ensure you have the Panduct Type G sections, appropriate end caps or covers, mounting brackets or screws, and any corner fittings needed for the installation. Have a compatible cutting tool ready if you need to tailor lengths to fit irregular spaces.

3) Prepare sections for mounting: If needed, cut the duct to the required length while keeping the slot alignment intact. Deburr edges to prevent cable damage and ensure a clean fit with end caps and covers.

4) Secure the duct to the enclosure: Use the recommended mounting hardware to fasten the Panduct Type G segments to rack rails or cabinet structure. Ensure the channels are level, aligned with adjacent sections, and firmly anchored to withstand cable movement and maintenance activity.

5) Route cables into the duct: Start by laying backbone cables and larger bundles along the main path, then thread individual cables into the wide slot. Use appropriate cable management accessories—ties, guides, and separators—to maintain orderly spacing and reduce pinching or bending radii.

6) Install covers and end caps: Snap on the duct covers or end caps to enclose the cables, protecting them from dust, moisture, and incidental contact. Verify that all coverings are securely fastened and that no sharp edges are exposed.

7) Validate the installation: Inspect the finished layout for smooth entry and exit points, adequate clearance for airflow, and no obstructed vents. Perform functional tests for connected equipment to confirm signal integrity and power delivery after routing changes.
