The Vertiv LWL-48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) extended drawer is a specially designed cable management accessory for use in 19-inch racks. It serves for the organized storage and management of excess lengths of fiber optic cables (LWL) and enables structured cable routing within server and network environments. The module is designed to be pull-out, facilitating access to cable ends and optimizing the installation and maintenance of LWL connections. The drawer is mounted in a housing that fits into standard 19-inch rack systems.

Cable management is the primary purpose of this product. The drawer provides a closed, structured space where LWL excess lengths can be safely and neatly stored. This prevents confusion, damage from pressure or tension, and facilitates the identification of individual cables. Cables are secured using hook-and-loop straps, which allow flexible and adjustable fixation without damaging the cables. This method is particularly suitable for LWL cables, which are sensitive to mechanical stress.

Material and surface determine the robustness and visual appearance of the device. The housing and drawer are made of steel sheet with a thickness of 1.5 mm, ensuring high mechanical stability. The surface is powder-coated in the color RAL 7035 light gray, providing a uniform, abrasion-resistant, and corrosion-resistant coating. The coating structure ensures an attractive appearance that integrates well into professional IT infrastructures.

Applications include primarily data centers, server rooms, network centers, and other environments where LWL cabling is used in 19-inch racks. The drawer is especially useful when cables are routed over long distances and the required excess lengths cannot be accommodated within the rack. The pull-out construction allows easy access without having to open or modify the entire rack.

Functions and equipment in detail include the integrated drawer, which fits into the housing and is pull-out. The drawer is designed for storing LWL excess lengths and provides sufficient space to store cables neatly. The cable securing option using hook-and-loop straps is directly provided inside the drawer, ensuring secure and flexible cable fixation. The construction is designed to be mounted in standard 19-inch rack systems.

Compatibility and accessories refer to use in 19-inch rack systems. The drawer is specifically designed for storing LWL excess lengths and can be combined with existing rack installations. Use is exclusively in the context of LWL cabling in rack systems.

Mounting and installation are performed by installing the housing into a 19-inch rack. The drawer is inserted into the housing and is pull-out. Mounting requires no special tools or additional components. Installation is simple and does not require additional mounting aids.

Operational advantages lie in improved organization and accessibility of LWL excess lengths. The drawer reduces the risk of cable damage from pressure or tension and facilitates maintenance and fault diagnosis. The pull-out construction enables quick access to cable ends, reducing work time during installations and maintenance. The robust steel sheet construction ensures long service life and high reliability in use.

The delivery includes 1 housing and 1 drawer.
