Cable Runway Movable Cross Member

The Cable Runway Movable Cross Member provides a reliable attachment point that can be positioned anywhere along a standard cable runway. By allowing cables to be dropped at any location between the fixed cross members, it gives installers precise control over cable routing. This flexibility reduces excess slack and supports clean, organized pathways essential for high‑density data‑center environments. The design incorporates a 1‑1/2" x 3/8" (38 mm x 9.5 mm) stringer that fits all CPI cable runways, ensuring a secure fit without additional modifications. Its low‑profile profile maintains airflow while delivering the structural support needed for heavy‑weight bundles. Installation of the movable cross member requires only the supplied hardware, eliminating the need for custom drilling or welding. The component slides into place and locks securely, allowing rapid re‑positioning during system upgrades or re‑configurations. Because it uses standard fasteners, field technicians can complete the task with common tools, reducing labor time and minimizing downtime for critical equipment. The intuitive design also limits the risk of misalignment, ensuring consistent performance across multiple installations. The cross member is engineered for compatibility with 9", 12", and 18" (230 mm, 300 mm, 460 mm) cable runways, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of enclosure sizes. It works seamlessly with CPI's movable cable tray systems, providing a unified approach to cable management across diverse rack configurations. Whether deployed in a single‑post rack, a four‑post cabinet, or an open‑frame environment, the component maintains its structural integrity and load‑bearing capacity. When combined with the recommended Cable Runway Radius Drop, the movable cross member enables smooth, curved cable paths that protect delicate fibers and high‑speed data lines. The ability to place a crossmember at any point along the runway eliminates the need for additional bends or auxiliary hardware. This results in lower insertion loss, reduced stress on connectors, and longer service life for valuable cabling assets. The modular nature of the system also supports future expansion without costly retrofits. Overall, the movable cross member enhances cable organization, improves airflow, and supports the rigorous demands of modern data‑center and enterprise networking installations. CPI's global network of authorized distributors ensures rapid availability and expert support for every purchase. The product's robust construction and flexible positioning deliver long‑term value, helping facilities maintain optimal performance while simplifying maintenance and upgrades.
