40096-E05

The MCS‑EFX Master Cabling Section 40096 delivers a compact, double‑sided design that maximizes usable rack space while providing precise cable organization. Its 7.5' (2.3 m) height and 10" (254 mm) width fit seamlessly into standard 48U enclosures, delivering a clean, professional appearance. Engineers appreciate the reliable, UL 94V‑0 fire‑rated composite construction for safe operation in plenum environments. Patented extended‑finger guides are spaced at 1U intervals, giving cable installers predictable pathways for every patch cord. This feature simplifies the handling of high‑density data master cable bundles and reduces the time spent routing cables across the rack. The design also includes edge‑protected pass‑through ports that secure cables with optional Saf‑T‑Grip® straps for added stability. Each side of the 40096 section can accommodate up to 1,052 Cat 5e data master cable connections when populated to 40 percent fill, enabling rapid scaling of network capacity. The system's quick‑release mechanism allows technicians to insert or remove cables in as little as 5econds per connection, accelerating deployment in busy data‑center environments. With a total depth of 21.23 mm (539 mm) on the double‑sided model, the section remains compatible with existing equipment layouts. Installation is streamlined by a pre‑assembled, reversible aluminum SwitchGate door that includes an ergonomic handle for easy access. The door can be flipped to the opposite side, offering flexibility for rear‑or‑front cable management without additional hardware. All components arrive factory‑installed, reducing on‑site assembly time and ensuring a consistent, high‑quality finish. The 40096 model integrates with CPI's digital design tools, including downloadable CAD, BIM, and Visio stencil files, allowing planners to visualize the cabling layout before purchase. Compatibility with the CPI Product Designer ensures the section can be configured alongside other enclosure accessories for a fully optimized solution. By combining robust construction, intelligent cable routing, and comprehensive design support, the MCS‑EFX Master Cabling Section 40096 meets the demanding requirements of modern enterprise and hyperscale data centers.
