StarTech.com Cable Lacing Bar - 10 Pack - Steel - Horizontal Cable Management Bar - Rack Cable Organizer - Cable Lacing Tool

The StarTech.com CMLB104 is a 10-pack of steel, horizontal cable lacing bars for rack-mounted equipment, helping network and server installers route cables and reduce strain on equipment ports.

Recommended For

• Network technicians dressing the rear of patch panels can use the bars as tie points for cable bundles, helping keep cable weight off equipment ports while leaving individual connections accessible.
• Server-room and network-closet installers building or refreshing several racks can use the 10-bar pack to create horizontal cable tie points across multiple rack locations.
• AV integrators wiring fixed equipment racks can use lacing bars to anchor and route cable bundles between gear, rather than leaving cables unsupported inside the rack.
• Rack maintainers who need to route cables from the back of equipment can use the 4-inch offset bars as support points while keeping cable paths organized for servicing.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a network closet, an installer can anchor fixed building cables behind a patch panel, so cable weight is supported by the rack instead of hanging from the panel ports.
• When a dense bundle of network or AV cables enters the back of a rack and branches to different equipment, a lacing bar provides an intermediate support point to route and secure the bundle before it reaches the connections.
• During a rack build or cable cleanup, a technician can use bars behind patch panels or other rack equipment to keep cable runs organized and separated from the connector ends, making the rear of the rack easier to trace and service.
• In an AV rack where cables need to stay inside the enclosure, an installer can use an offset bar to guide bundles from equipment toward the rack sides, reducing loose cable runs across the rear of the rack.
• When outfitting several rack positions, the 10-bar pack lets an installer add cable support at multiple points, such as behind several patch panels or equipment sections, rather than relying on one support point for the whole rack.
