Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Rack Enclosure Single-Width Vertical Equipment Management Bars, 48U, 1 Pair

The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Single-Width Vertical Equipment Management Bars are your go-to solution for turning a standard 48U rack enclosure into a lean, organized, and highly efficient cabling ecosystem. Engineered to complement the SmartRack family, these vertical management bars maximize available space while delivering clean, professional cable routing for power, data, and network cables. With a focus on quick, straightforward installation, durable construction, and compatibility with a wide range of accessories, these bars help IT professionals reduce downtime, improve airflow, and simplify future migrations or reconfigurations.

• Enhanced cable management for 48U SmartRack enclosures: These vertical equipment management bars are purpose-built to fit single-width configurations inside 48U SmartRack racks, providing dedicated channels and anchor points that guide cables from front to back with precision. By establishing clean pathways for every cable, you minimize tangling, reduce strain and wear on cables, and create a tidy interior that’s easier to service. The result is improved cable organization, easier identification of ports, and more predictable airflow, which can contribute to better cooling efficiency and sustained performance of densely populated racks.
• Durable, professional-grade construction: Crafted to withstand the rigors of data center environments, the vertical bars use sturdy steel construction with a durable powder-coated finish that resists chipping and corrosion. This robust build helps ensure long-term reliability in environments with vibration, frequent access, and continual cable changes. The clean white or black finishes—depending on the model—also blend seamlessly with standard IT furniture and cabinet exteriors, preserving a consistent, professional look across your rack infrastructure.
• Simple, fast installation with reliable mounting: Designed for quick integration into standard 19-inch rack rails, the bars come with clear mounting hardware and simple alignment guidelines. The installation process minimizes downtime and doesn’t require specialized tools, so you can secure the bars and begin route planning within minutes. The result is a highly modular cable management solution that scales with your network as it grows, allowing you to add or reconfigure vertical management supports without pulling existing bundles apart.
• Versatile front-to-back cable routing and expansion potential: The vertical equipment management bars offer flexible routing options, enabling neat separation of power and data cables to reduce interference and potential contention. They support a variety of cable diameters and bundle sizes, and can be paired with additional accessories like cable sleeves, tie-downs, and D-rings to tailor your setup. This adaptability makes them an excellent choice for evolving data centers, test labs, and edge deployments where cabling needs can shift rapidly.
• Value-driven design with future-proofing and support: By adopting a single-width, 48U-compatible solution, you gain scalability without overhauling your entire rack. The bars are designed to align with standard equipment footprints and are backed by Tripp Lite and Eaton’s engineering support, providing confidence as you expand or reorganize. In addition to standard replacements and upgrades, you can integrate these bars with other SmartRack accessories to create a cohesive, well-documented cable management strategy that stands the test of time.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Rack Enclosure Single-Width Vertical Equipment Management Bars

To install the vertical equipment management bars in your 48U SmartRack enclosure, begin by powering down any equipment in the cabinet and ensuring you have a clean, static-free workspace. Confirm compatibility with your specific SmartRack model and identify the mounting rails where the bars will be attached. Align the bars with the front and rear mounting points on the cabinet—these typically correspond to standardized rack holes—then secure them using the supplied screws or mounting hardware included with the bars. Tighten each fastener evenly to avoid misalignment and ensure a snug fit. Once installed, begin routing cables by grouping similar bundles (power, data, and network) and guiding them into the channels or lanes on the bars. Use cable ties or lacing to secure there, avoiding sharp bends and ensuring that airflow through the cabinet remains unobstructed. Finally, test connectivity and power to verify proper cable paths and that there is no interference with cooling fans or doors. Regularly inspect the bars during routine maintenance to ensure that fasteners remain tight and that cable bundles do not sag or rub against cabinet edges.
