On-Q VWM-PIV-2RU Mounting Rail Kit for Patch Panel - Black - TAA Compliant

The On-Q VWM-PIV-2RU Mounting Rail Kit is a premium vertical wall mounting solution designed to streamline patch panel deployments in compact enclosures. This 2RU adjustable, pivoting rail system is engineered to fit into both 4RU and 8RU frames, delivering exceptional versatility for data centers, telecom closets, and enterprise networks. With a robust black finish and TAA compliance, this mounting rail kit combines rugged reliability with flexible installation options, enabling faster patches, easier maintenance, and cleaner cable management in demanding environments.

• Pivoting, adjustable 2RU rails for flexible patch panel mounting: The rail system features a pivot mechanism that lets you position patch panels precisely where you need them, even in tight spaces. This capability reduces installation time, minimizes cabling interference, and makes post-install changes simpler. By adjusting the angle and depth of the rails, technicians can align connectors with minimal strain, improving overall reliability and reducing the risk of damaged ports during servicing.
• Versatile frame compatibility with 4RU and 8RU enclosures: Designed to slide into standard 4RU and 8RU frames, the VWM-PIV-2RU rails maximize enclosure utilization without requiring separate mounting hardware for each frame size. This compatibility makes it an ideal choice for mixed-frame deployments or for upgrading existing installations where space is at a premium. The 2RU footprint preserves valuable rack space while delivering full support for patch panels and associated hardware.
• 10-32 hardware compatibility with reversible mounting for cage nuts: The rails are optimized for patch panels that use 10-32 fasteners, a common standard in professional cabling. In addition, the kit can be reversed to accommodate other thread sizes through the use of cage nuts, expanding compatibility with different patch panels and mounting configurations. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple separate rail systems and simplifies inventory management for IT teams.
• Durable construction with a professional black powder-coated finish and TAA compliance: Built from sturdy materials, the VWM-PIV-2RU rail kit delivers long-term durability in harsh data center environments. The black powder-coated finish not only looks professional but also provides corrosion resistance and easier wipe-down cleaning of dust and grime. As a TAA-compliant product, it is suitable for government, education, and enterprise deployments that require compliance with federal purchasing guidelines.
• Designed for patching and vertical wall mounting with enhanced cable management: This mounting rail kit is purpose-built for patch panels, enabling clean, organized, and accessible cabling layouts in vertical wall installations. Its pivoting design supports quick serviceability, while the compact 2RU height helps minimize installation depth and ensure alignment with neighboring equipment. The result is a neater, more scalable patching solution that remains simple to maintain over time.

How to install On-Q VWM-PIV-2RU Mounting Rail Kit for Patch Panel

• Plan your mounting location within a 4RU or 8RU frame, ensuring there is clear access for pivoting the rails and for patch panel insertion and removal.
• Prepare the enclosure and identify the appropriate mounting holes or cage nut locations compatible with your hardware requirements (10-32 or alternative thread sizes).
• Attach the adjustable rails to the frame in the chosen orientation, securing them with the appropriate hardware for your enclosure and patch panel type. Ensure rails are level and square to prevent misalignment.
• Slide the patch panel onto the rails and verify smooth movement and proper alignment with the mounting holes. If needed, adjust the rails to accommodate connector clearance and cable routing.
• Pivot the rails as required to provide convenient access to ports, then tighten all fasteners to lock the position. Route cables neatly, label as necessary, and perform a final check of all connections before powering the system.
