The DIGITUS cable brush strip DN-97660 is a 1 U module for 483 mm (19 inch) network or server racks, enabling organised and damage-free cable routing. The device is mounted on the profile rails inside the rack and serves as a passage element for routing cables, with the integrated brush strip preventing mechanical damage to the cables. The brush opening has dimensions of 27x423 mm and is designed to support flexible cable routing in the rear or side areas of the rack. The slim design occupies only one height unit, allowing efficient use of space within the rack.
Cable management in the rack
The cable brush strip is specifically designed for use in 483 mm (19 inch) racks, where it serves as a passage element for multiple cables. The brush strip ensures that cables are not scraped or damaged by sharp edges during routing. This is particularly important when routing network cables, which are often sensitive to mechanical stress. The strip enables structured cable routing, simplifying maintenance and cable replacement.
Features and equipment in detail
The strip is made of robust sheet steel and is finished in grey (RAL 7035), ensuring visual integration into standardised rack environments. Dimensions are 44 mm (height) x 483 mm (length) x 11 mm (depth). The product is ready for immediate use, as the required mounting hardware — consisting of cage nuts, screws, and washers — is included. Installation is carried out on the profile rails of the rack, with the mounting hardware ensuring secure anchoring.
Technology explained simply
The integrated brush strip consists of elastic bristles that flex easily when cables pass through, providing protective function. The bristles are arranged to avoid damaging the cables while simultaneously forming a mechanical barrier against dust and foreign objects. The opening of 27x423 mm provides sufficient space for multiple cables, with the 27 mm width enabling a compact passage. The 423 mm length corresponds to typical rack depth, ensuring optimal positioning within the rack.
Compatibility and accessories
The cable brush strip is designed for 483 mm (19 inch) racks and fits standard profile rails. It is not specific to any particular rack model, but compatible with all devices supporting 19 inch standard mounting. Mounting is done using the included cage nuts, screws, and washers, designed for attachment to the profile rails.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is performed by securing the strip to the profile rails inside the rack. The included mounting hardware enables secure and stable anchoring. The strip is placed in the desired position within the rack, with the brush strip oriented inward or outward depending on cable routing requirements.
Operational advantages
The cable brush strip improves rack organisation by enabling structured cable routing. The brushes protect cables from mechanical damage, extending cable lifespan. Easy mounting and immediate readiness increase efficiency during installation and maintenance. The use of robust sheet steel ensures long service life and high mechanical stability.
Scope of delivery
The product is delivered with the cable brush strip and the required mounting hardware. The mounting hardware includes cage nuts, screws, and washers, intended for mounting on the profile rails inside the rack.
