Not suitable for high density network enclosures or directly next to a switch or patch panel.
Installed these in an IDF (network closet) during a new network build out with ~120 terminations. Plenty of room inside of the raceway for UTP and/or fiber. The materials this product is made with are nice; however, the fingers are SUPER wide and entryway for the cables are EXTREMELY narrow. Because of this, I couldn't fit all of my cables from my switches and patch panels in the openings. Using Ubiquity patch cables, the bends from a switch interface or patch panel port are blocked by the fingers about 75% of the time. Ended up ordering some thin fingered Panduit network cabinet cable management raceways. This may work fine if there is a 1U gap between your interfaces/ports and entrance into the raceway or if you're using UTP that isn't angled at the connector. I'm now using these on the backside for power cables to be ran from one side of the enclosure to another (which doesn't require entry from anything other than the sides - not using the upper or lower exits), and they work fine for their cost. Being made of metal, that may not be ideal, but it works for now. I wouldn't buy these again; I would just fork over the money for a quality product. May look at the StarTechs next, but the Panduits I have now work great (at 3x the cost, though).

Larger than expected
They are deeper than I was expecting. I saw the measurements but when I placed them in the rack, they stuck out farther than what I had in my mind. Not the product's fault, but I would like something a little less protruding from the rack. The other downside is the covers are not that easy to get on. It takes a bit of effort, and you miss some clips if not done properly.

Happy overall
This is definitely an upgrade from the plastic cable management systems. The metal is pretty heavy duty, it takes a bit of convincing to snap the cover in place but will definitely hold up over time. My only complaint is I wish the "finger" slots were twice as wide to allow more cables through.

Really good, but not recommended for lots of cables.
It looks really nice, is all metal, and hold up great. If you have 16 or fewer network cables total it should be fine. May work with 24, but 48 would be difficult in my estimation. As you get more cables it will get really full and harder to use. The wire slots could be wider and the front to back depth could be deeper and then it would be perfect.

It does what it's intended to do
I use this with our rack mount audio mixer and it does a fantastic job of routing 16 XLR cables, nice and clean. It's sturdy enough and appears to be very durable. Would recommend.

A Bit More Expensive, But Worth The Money
Great alternative to plastic units. These metal cable organizers look good, and are easy to tighten up, if necessary, by slightly bending the tabs a bit wider.Will continue to order these for network build outs.

Really nice cable manager! Rugged. All-Metal Design!
You won't find any cheapie plastic fingers here! This is slim, smooth, no rough edges, wide open in the back, and built to last! Beautiful black finish. Just couldn't be happier with this!

Great for cable management under desk
I love these! I used them to mount under my desk for cable management. For the price they are wonderful. Metal and sturdy.I don’t work with servers and rack equipment so can’t speak to how they compare to more expensive ones.
