Single-Depth Installation (SRCABLEVRT6 & SRCABLEVRT12 only)

Note: Each SRCABLEVRT6 and SRCABLEVRT12 unit includes 3 cable trays. If you install the cable trays in a single-depth configuration, SR2POST (Tripp Lite's 45U 2-post rack) will hold 3 cable trays per side (6 total – requires 2 x SRCABLEVRT6 or SRCABLEVRT12). Always begin installation at the bottom of the rack and work your way to the top.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 1-5 to assemble and mount the other two cable trays, then use (2) tie plates and (8) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect adjacent cable trays for added stability.

• Use (1) tie plate and (4) M4 x 8 mm to connect the bottom cable tray to the middle cable tray.
• Use (1) tie plate and (4) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect the top cable tray to the middle cable tray.

Note: Insert the screws on the opposite side of the cable tray surface from the tie plate, as shown in the diagram. Make sure the flat side of the tie plate faces the cable tray surface so the screws will thread into the tie plate properly.

Step 7 (Optional) Repeat Steps 1-6 to install another set of cable trays on the other side of the rack. (A single-depth installation on both sides of the rack requires 2 x SRCABLEVRT6 or SRCABLEVRT12.)

Note: SRCABLEVRT6 is shown. The cable tray frames and doors of the SRCABLEVRT12 are wider, but installation is identical.

Double-Depth Installation (SRCABLEVRT6 & SRCABLEVRT12 only)

Note: Each SRCABLEVRT6 and SRCABLEVRT12 unit includes 3 cable trays. If you install the cable trays in a double-depth configuration, SR2POST (Tripp Lite's 45U 2-post rack) will hold 6 cable trays per side (12 total – requires 4 x SRCABLEVRT6 or SRCABLEVRT12). Always begin installation at the bottom of the rack and work your way to the top.

Step 6 continued

• Use (1) tie plate and (2) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect the top cable trays back-to-back.
• Use (1) tie plate and (2) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect the bottom cable trays back-to-back.

Note: Insert the screws on the opposite side of the cable tray surface from the tie plate, as shown in the diagrams. Make sure the flat side of the tie plate faces the cable tray surface so the screws will thread into the tie plate properly.

Double-Depth Installation (SRCABLEVRT6 & SRCABLEVRT12 only)

Step 7 (Optional) Repeat Steps 1-6 to install additional cable trays on the other side of the rack. (A double-depth installation on both sides of the rack requires 4 x SRCABLEVRT6 or SRCABLEVRT12.)

Note: SRCABLEVRT6 is shown. The cable tray frames and doors of the SRCABLEVRT12 are wider, but installation is identical.

SR42UBWD Installation: Front-Facing (SRCABLEVRT3 only)

Step 1 Using (2) M4 x 6 mm flat head screws, attach (2) mounting brackets to the rear side of (1) cable tray frame.

Note: The mounting brackets should be aligned so that the three mounting holes form a horizontal line. Depending on which side of the enclosure you choose to install the SRCABLEVRT3, the round end of the mounting bracket should be closest to the exterior of the enclosure.
