Description

Panduit PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Single Sided Manager

The PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Vertical Cable Manager sets a new standard for data center organization, delivering ultra-high-density cable routing in a compact, single-sided design. Engineered for fast deployment and reliable performance, this manager combines a sturdy metal backbone with molded plastic fingers to create a durable, flexible solution that maximizes space in dense rack environments. Its unique zero RU patching capability helps you pack more connectivity into every cabinet, while the partially assembled construction accelerates on-site installation, reducing downtime and labor costs. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy rack or deploying a new data center, the PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Single Sided Manager provides a clean, scalable path to organized cabling, easier maintenance, and improved airflow.

  • Ultra-high-density capability: Designed to maximize port density without expanding rack footprint, the PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Single Sided Manager streamlines complex cable routing. Its forward-focused design keeps cables neatly organized and accessible, enabling you to fit more connections into the same cabinet space. This density advantage translates into lower cooling loads and simpler patch management, making it an essential asset for high-performance networks, data centers, and enterprise environments that demand scalable growth.
  • Zero RU patching for space optimization: A standout feature of the PatchRunner™2 is its zero RU patching architecture. By enabling front-side, high-density patching without consuming additional rack units, you preserve valuable real estate in your racks. This design supports cleaner front-face patches, reduces cable clutter behind equipment, and facilitates faster changes during maintenance windows, all while maintaining an orderly, serviceable workspace.
  • Partially assembled for rapid deployment: The manager ships in a partially assembled configuration that speeds up installation dramatically. Techs can unbox and mount the unit quickly, minimizing on-site assembly time and reducing the likelihood of misalignment during field setup. This streamlined deployment is especially advantageous in environments with tight project timelines or frequent rack refresh cycles.
  • Single-sided construction with a rugged backbone: The PatchRunner™2 features a metal backbone paired with molded plastic fingers to provide a robust, long-lasting solution for demanding data-center corridors. The metal backbone offers structural integrity to support heavy cable loads, while the molded fingers and finger depth ensure smooth routing, easier cable installation, and durable, repeatable performance over years of service.
  • Designed for ease of maintenance and scalability: Beyond initial deployment, the PatchRunner™2 is built to simplify ongoing management. Its single-sided orientation makes access straightforward for technicians, enabling quick moves, adds, and changes. The modular finger configuration accommodates a range of cable types and sizes, and the design supports future growth without requiring a complete equipment swap. Together, these attributes help keep your data-center cabling tidy, compliant with standards, and adaptable to evolving network needs.

How to install Panduit PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Single Sided Manager

  • Prepare the rack: Ensure the cabinet is compatible with the PatchRunner™2 and clear the workspace to facilitate a smooth mounting process. Verify that your rack has the appropriate mounting rails and space to accommodate the manager’s depth and footprint.
  • Unpack and inspect: Because the unit ships partially assembled, inspect contents to confirm all required mounting ears, backbones, and finger sections are present and undamaged. Verify that the pre-assembled components align with your specific rack configuration.
  • Mount the backbone: Secure the metal backbone to the rack using the supplied hardware. Confirm that the backbone is level and firmly fastened to ensure stable cable routing and support for future additions.
  • Attach finger sections: Install the molded plastic fingers along the backbone, aligning them to your intended cable pathways. The fingers are designed to facilitate clean entry and exit for cables, enabling efficient guide rails and minimal friction during patching.
  • Route and organize cables: Begin routing cables into the manager’s channels, using the zero RU design to keep front-side patches accessible without occupying additional rack space. Use cable ties or Panduit-recommended accessories to secure the bundles, maintain bend radii, and preserve air flow around equipment.
  • Label and verify: Apply clear labels to each cable and patch cord for easy future identification. Test connectivity to verify that all connections are correctly seated and that the patching arrangement meets your network layout and labeling standards.
  • Perform a final check: Confirm the modularity and accessibility of patches, ensure there is no pinching or strain on cables, and verify that the system remains within the planned density targets. Document the installation for future maintenance and audits.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the PatchRunner™2 Enhanced Single Sided Manager? It is a high-density vertical cable management solution designed for single-sided mounting in racks. It combines a metal backbone with molded plastic fingers, enabling ultra-compact routing and easy front-side access for patching. The design emphasizes speed of deployment, front-access management, and scalable growth in data centers and enterprise environments.
  • What does zero RU patching mean? Zero RU patching refers to a patching design that allows you to manage and patch cables without occupying additional rack units. This enables higher density within the same cabinet space and keeps cables organized at the front face of the rack, simplifying maintenance and changes.
  • Is this manager compatible with other Panduit products? The PatchRunner™2 is designed to integrate with Panduit’s broader cable management ecosystem, including compatible patch cords, panels, and accessories. For best results, follow Panduit compatibility guides and reference the SKU or product family guidelines when planning a full rack deployment.
  • What environments is it suitable for? It is ideal for data centers, network operation centers, and enterprise IT rooms where space is limited but cable density is high. The single-sided configuration and durable construction make it well-suited for frequent patching and changes in growing networks.
  • How does partial assembly affect installation? Partial assembly simplifies and expedites on-site deployment. It reduces field labor, minimizes risk of misalignment, and allows technicians to complete mounting and cable routing quickly, without waiting for extensive assembly in the cabinet.
  • What maintenance practices improve longevity? Regular inspection of finger sections for signs of wear, ensuring cables follow bend radii, updating labeling as your network evolves, and keeping patch cords organized with appropriate ties and channels will preserve performance and extend the life of the manager.
