Frequently Asked Questions - SRCABLEVRT3 Tripp Lite

Can the SRCABLEVRT3 be installed in a standard 19-inch rack?

No, the SRCABLEVRT3 is specifically designed for the SR42UBWD extra-wide enclosure. For standard 19-inch racks, use the SRCABLEVRT6 or SRCABLEVRT12 models.

How many cable trays come with the SRCABLEVRT3?

The SRCABLEVRT3 includes 3 cable trays, each with its own door and hardware.

Can the cable tray doors open from both sides?

Yes, the doors are designed to open from either side. Simply release the C-clasps on one side of the door to swing it open.

What tools are required for installation?

Installation is tool-less for mounting using buttons; however, a Phillips screwdriver is needed for securing screws and attaching brackets.

Is the SRCABLEVRT3 compatible with PDU managers?

Yes, it includes adapter plates that allow mounting to PDU managers in 42U SmartRack enclosures.

What is the warranty period?

Tripp Lite offers a 5-year limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.

Can multiple SRCABLEVRT3 units be stacked?

Yes, you can install up to three cable trays vertically in the enclosure, starting from the bottom.

How do I clean the cable manager?

Use a dry cloth to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the difference between SRCABLEVRT3 and SRCABLEVRT6?

The SRCABLEVRT3 is designed for the extra-wide SR42UBWD enclosure, while the SRCABLEVRT6 and SRCABLEVRT12 are for standard 19-inch racks. The SRCABLEVRT6 has narrower trays compared to the SRCABLEVRT12.

Does it support single-depth or double-depth installation?

The SRCABLEVRT3 supports front-facing and side-facing installations in the SR42UBWD enclosure, but not double-depth configurations (those are for SRCABLEVRT6/12).

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 1 Using (4) M4 x 6 mm flat head screws, attach (2) mounting brackets to (2) cable tray frames. (The brackets will span the frames to connect them.)

Step 6 Repeat Steps 1-5 to assemble and mount the other four cable trays, then use (4) tie plates and (12) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect adjacent cable trays vertically and horizontally for added stability.

• Use (1) tie plate and (4) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect the bottom cable trays to the middle cable trays. This will also connect the cable trays back-to-back.
• Use (1) tie plate and (4) M4 x 8 mm screws to connect the top cable trays to the middle cable trays. This will also connect the cable trays back-to-back.

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.
