Product Information
Full details
The Patchcatch is a 0RU cable management solution designed for IT professionals and network technicians looking to reclaim valuable rack space. By replacing traditional, bulky cable organizers with a low-profile, clip-on bracket, the Patchcatch allows you to route cables directly to the side of your rack units, significantly reducing clutter and improving airflow. While this tool-free design is perfect for most standard rack rails, it is specifically optimized for efficiency rather than heavy-duty cable bundles, making it best suited for organized patch management.

FAQs
How many rack units does the Patchcatch occupy?
The Patchcatch is a 0RU device, meaning it occupies no rack space units.
Are tools required for installation?
No, the Patchcatch is designed for tool-free, manual installation.
Can I reuse the Patchcatch if I change my rack configuration?
Yes, the product is fully reusable and can be unclipped and moved to a new position as needed.
How many pieces are in a single pack?
Each package contains four pieces.
What is the weight capacity of one bracket?
While it does not have a specific load rating, it is designed to hold standard patch cable bundles found in modern IT racks.
Will this help with my server overheating?
Yes, by removing bulky cable managers that block airflow, the Patchcatch promotes better ventilation, helping your hardware run cooler.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose in the rack rail
Verify that your rack rail thickness is within the standard tolerance and ensure the bracket is fully snapped into the rail hole.
Difficulty inserting cables
Ensure you are not overloading a single bracket; redistribute the cables across multiple brackets to maintain the low-profile integrity of the organizer.
