31472-118

The 31472 Alternate Space Cable Runway delivers a compact, high‑capacity pathway for structured cabling in dense rack environments. Measuring 18 in. (457 mm) wide, 1.5 in. (38 mm) high and extending 8.73 ft (2,660 mm) long, this gray‑finished runway provides space for up to 1,421 cables, enabling clean horizontal‑to‑vertical transitions across four 19‑inch racks. Its design conforms to CPI's Cable Runway family, ensuring seamless integration with existing enclosure systems. Engineered as a true spacecable solution, the runway eliminates the need for additional brackets or field‑fabricated supports, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. The cross‑members are spaced to align with standard radius drops, allowing technicians to route cables directly from the top of the rack to vertical cabling sections without complex adjustments. By consolidating cable paths, the 31472 model improves airflow and supports higher equipment density in hyperscale and multitenant data centers. Customers can validate layouts using CPI's free design tools, including the Visio Stencil, CAD package, and BIM models that are available for download with the product. These resources let engineers visualize the 118‑inch runway within a virtual enclosure, assess clearance, and generate accurate bill‑of‑materials reports before physical deployment. Integration with the CPI Product Designer further streamlines specification, ensuring that the selected runway meets both mechanical and thermal requirements of the target environment. The installation process is straightforward: the runway's modular frame snaps into place on the rack's side rails, and the integrated cable guides secure bundles without additional hardware. Because the system is factory‑finished, field adjustments are limited to simple alignment, which reduces labor costs and minimizes the risk of mis‑routing. The robust construction, combined with CPI's global warranty, provides long‑term reliability for mission‑critical networking infrastructure. Designed for enterprise, colocation, and AI‑focused facilities, the 31472 Alternate Space Cable Runway supports rapid scaling and simplifies maintenance in high‑performance computing clusters. Its versatile geometry adapts to both traditional server rows and edge‑location enclosures, delivering consistent performance across diverse deployment scenarios. Leveraging CPI's worldwide distribution network, organizations can obtain the runway quickly and benefit from the company's expert consultation services throughout the project lifecycle.
