RE: Help wanted in terminology with 19" rack kit

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried Netshop?

19" mounting angles & cable management
http://www.netshop.co.uk/cabinets-and-enclosures-cable-management.htm

It's what I'm intending to use to fabricate my "rack" as it will
be a hybrid
unit built into the under-stairs cupboard.

Hi All,

Now I am into the house we just built I am joining up all that
cabling I lay in over the course of the last two years.

Now this isn't an area I have worked in before.

I bought two 19" 24port patch panels from ebay for the purpose.

1 had an armature on the back which you could tie wrap the cat5 cable
to after you punched down. This has worked wonderfully, and I now
have half my cabling sorted.

however, the second panel has not armature and I can't just punch
down the cable and let it hang off the back!

What is this armature called, and is there some standard part I can
get that goes onto the 19 inch rack mount kit that I can tie down to?

Also I am mounting these panels into a large cabinet that is already
installed, but it is not a 19 inch specific case, it is larger, and I
have some mains kit in this one as well, as other bits and pieces,
therefore I need some 19 inch rack that I can mount onto the back
panel, and will hold the panels far enought forward to allow the
cables to drop nicely behind.

Probably not described that to well, but does anyone have any ideas
if what I need exists?
