This dependable cable management solution is designed to keep cables organized, accessible, and protected, while enabling efficient airflow and simplified maintenance. Panduit’s Panduct system is built to address the core challenges of modern IT environments—power distribution, cooling, space optimization, and reliable cable routing—so operators can reduce energy use, minimize downtime, and boost overall system reliability. The Type H hinged cover delivers quick entry to interior channels, making cabling changes, upgrades, and troubleshooting faster and safer without disturbing existing layouts. Engineered for compatibility with Panduit’s broad ecosystem of supports, accessories, and mounting options, this 6 ft duct offers a scalable, modular pathway that grows with your infrastructure while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Whether you are outfitting a new data center rack or reorganizing a busy network closet, the Panduct 6ft Type H Hinged Cover Wiring Duct helps you create orderly, serviceable, and future-proof cable routes that meet industry standards and operational demands.

• Easy access with hinged cover - The Type H design features a rugged hinged cover that opens wide to reveal the full interior channel, simplifying cable insertion, inspection, and maintenance. This design minimizes downtime during moves, adds, or changes, and reduces the risk of cable damage during access. The cover stays securely in place during operation, yet can be opened quickly when service is required, keeping your workspace tidy and safe.
• Six-foot versatility for long runs - At six feet in length, this Panduct provides generous reach for long cable runs along racks and cabinets, helping reduce the number of joints and splices. The extended length supports clean, continuous routing in data centers and network rooms, enabling smoother cable paths that align with rack spacing and room layout. This makes it easier to manage high volumes of power and data cables without sacrificing neatness or airflow.
• Durable construction for demanding environments - Panduct Type H is designed to withstand the rigors of enterprise environments, delivering robust protection for exposed cables. The hinged cover and body are built to resist impact, wear, and incidental abuse common in cable management spaces. Its interior surfaces are smooth to minimize snagging, and the duct helps maintain orderly cable bundles while supporting efficient airflow around the routed cables, which is essential for cooling performance in dense deployments.
• Modular compatibility with Panduit ecosystem - This 6 ft wiring duct is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Panduit’s broad catalog of cable management components, including mounting hardware, panels, and other Panduct accessories. Its Type H design complements other Panduct products, allowing you to create consistent finishes across cabinets, racks, and cable trays. You can easily extend, segment, or reconfigure the path as your network grows, keeping procurement simple and installations unified.
• Enhanced reliability and maintenance efficiency - By consolidating cables into clearly defined channels, Panduct Type H reduces cable strain, bending, and clutter that can complicate diagnostics. The organized routing simplifies inspections, audits, and future upgrades, enabling faster troubleshooting and more predictable performance. A tidy, well-structured cable management system also improves overall data center reliability by reducing the chance of accidental disconnections during maintenance work.

How to install PANDUIT 6ft Panduct Type H - Hinged Cover Wiring Duct

• Plan the routing path: Assess the cabinet or rack layout and determine the optimal path for cables, ensuring clearance for the hinged cover and future expansions.
• Prepare the mounting surface: Identify secure mounting points on the rack or cabinet and verify that the surface can support the duct’s weight and cable load without bowing or sagging.
• Mount the base sections: Attach the Panduct sections to the approved mounting locations using the recommended screws or clips. Align sections for a continuous channel, leaving small gaps only where expansion or branching is intended.
• Route cables into the duct: Neatly organize power, data, and control cables separately as required. Use cable ties or straps sparingly to maintain airflow and avoid compressing cables; keep bend radii compliant with best practices.
• Attach the hinged cover: Install the Type H hinged cover over the open channel, ensuring it latches securely and can swing open and closed with ease. Verify that the cover does not impede adjacent components and provides full access to the interior.
• Test and finalize: With cables in place, operate the hinge to confirm smooth movement, check for any interference, and confirm that the overall installation remains clean and tool-free for future maintenance.
