12100-E12

The 12100‑E12 radius drop cross member is engineered to preserve the minimum bend radius required for high‑performance Category 5e, Category 6/6a and fiber optic cabling. By securing the cable at the prescribed radius, the component reduces signal loss and protects the integrity of the data path. This solution addresses a common challenge in dense data‑center environments where space constraints often force tight cable bends. Designed for seamless integration, the cross member measures 11 inches (279 mm) in width and is finished in Glacier White to match typical enclosure aesthetics. The lightweight construction combines a sturdy polymer core with reinforced ribs, delivering durability without adding unnecessary weight. The part number 12100‑E12 identifies the exact configuration, ensuring that distributors and engineers reference the correct accessory. Installation is straightforward: the cross member mounts directly to the existing CPI Cable Runway cross member using the standard hardware kit supplied with the product. The design includes pre‑drilled holes that align with the runway's mounting pattern, eliminating the need for field modifications. This reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors during deployment. Maintaining the correct bend radius is critical for preserving the electrical characteristics of copper and the optical performance of fiber. The 12100 series helps achieve consistent performance by preventing micro‑bends that can degrade transmission quality. When used with CPI's Cable Runway system, the cross member supports organized cable routing and facilitates future upgrades or reconfigurations. CPI offers comprehensive technical documentation, including data sheets and installation instructions, to assist designers and installers. In addition, the company's global network of authorized distributors provides localized support and rapid product customization. Selecting the 12100‑E12 radius drop cross member leverages CPI's decades of expertise in data‑center infrastructure, delivering a reliable and future‑ready cable management solution.
