Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Half Frame Brush Plate Cable Management is designed for IT professionals and AV installers seeking to maintain a clean and organized cabling infrastructure within 19-inch enclosures. Its primary benefit is providing a neat, brush-sealed entry point for cables, preventing dust ingress and reducing visual clutter. A potential consideration is its specific 1U height requirement for mounting. Key features include durable mild steel construction with a matt black powder finish, a letterbox-shaped slot for versatile cable routing, and suitability for data cabinets, flight cases, and studio racks.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this brush plate?

Its main purpose is to provide a neat, controlled entry point for cables into a 19-inch enclosure, while the brush seal helps to prevent dust and debris from entering.

What are the dimensions of the cable slot?

The cable slot measures 35mm in height and 370mm in length.

How many cables can fit through this brush plate?

The number of cables depends on their thickness. The 35mm x 370mm slot can accommodate multiple standard data or AV cables. It's designed for organization rather than maximizing density.

What material is the brush plate made of?

It is constructed from mild steel with a matt black powder finish.

Does this product come with mounting screws?

No, this product typically does not include mounting screws. Standard rack mounting hardware such as M6 cage nuts and screws are usually required and are sold separately.

Can this be used in non-19-inch racks?

This brush plate is specifically designed for standard 19-inch rack systems. It will not fit correctly in racks of different widths.

Does the brush provide any acoustic or EMI shielding?

The brush seal is primarily designed for dust prevention and cable management. It does not offer significant acoustic or EMI/RFI shielding.

Troubleshooting

Cable entry feels stiff.

Ensure cables are fed through the center of the slot. If using a very large number of cables, distribute them evenly within the slot. The brush provides resistance for sealing; some stiffness is normal.

Unit does not fit securely.

Verify that you are using standard 19-inch rack mounting hardware (cage nuts and screws) and that the enclosure has the correct mounting points.

Brush seal appears to be damaged or worn.

Inspect the brush for any loose or broken bristles. For minor wear, it may still provide adequate dust protection. Significant damage might require replacing the unit.

Dust still enters the enclosure.

Ensure the brush plate is correctly installed and that cables do not create large gaps. Try to position cables within the brush area as much as possible. For extremely dusty environments, consider supplementary sealing if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the professional appearance of rack installations.
  • Protects equipment from dust and airborne particles.
  • Easy to install in standard 19-inch racks.
  • Robust steel construction ensures durability.
  • Facilitates cleaner cable routing, reducing potential interference.

Cons

  • Limited to 1U rack space.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring higher levels of EMI/RFI shielding.
  • The brush seal may offer minor resistance to very thick cable bundles.
  • Requires specific mounting points within the enclosure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your 19-inch enclosure has available rack units (1U required) and appropriate mounting holes.
  2. Position the brush plate over the desired cable entry point.
  3. Secure the plate using standard rack mounting screws (typically M6 cage nuts and screws, not included).
  4. Carefully feed cables through the letterbox-shaped slot and brush seal.

Compatibility:

  • Rack Size: Compatible with all standard 19-inch rack systems (e.g., server racks, network cabinets, studio racks, flight cases).
  • Height: Occupies 1U (1.75 inches or 44.45mm) of vertical rack space.
  • Cable Types: Suitable for a wide range of data, power, and AV cables. The 35mm x 370mm slot accommodates multiple cables, but extremely thick bundles may require careful management.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Brush Maintenance: Periodically inspect the brush seal for damage or excessive dust accumulation. Gentle vacuuming can remove loose debris. If the brush becomes significantly damaged, replacement of the unit may be necessary.
