StarTech.com Open Slot Cable Raceway 2"x3" 6.5ft

StarTech.com’s 6.5 ft (2 m) open-slot cable management raceway neatly conceals and organizes up to 180 network and power cables while allowing fast cable access through parallel 8 mm slots. This rigid PVC raceway is built for professional installations that need a clean, durable cable path along walls or in equipment rooms. Its 2" (50 mm) width and 3" (75 mm) height provide generous internal volume while the removable cover and parallel finger slots let technicians add or remove cords without dismantling the entire run. The unit is engineered to meet safety standards and to withstand everyday office and server-room environments.

How does the slotted design simplify cable changes during maintenance?

The parallel 8 mm slots act as finger ducts so individual cables can be routed into and out of the channel without opening the full cover. This reduces downtime and keeps runs tidy while letting you add, move, or remove a single lead quickly.

• 0.3" (8 mm) slot spacing for selective cable access
• Top-access removable cover for faster full-run work
• Accommodates mixed power and data leads with separation through slot routing

Is this raceway durable and safe enough for office and server-room use?

The body is molded from warp-resistant, self-extinguishing PVC for sustained performance in controlled environments. It carries UL/94V-0 flame-rating characteristics, a high Vicat softening point, and complies with relevant approvals, helping installations meet common safety expectations.

• Self-extinguishing PVC construction resists deformation
• Vicat softening point ~186°F (86°C) tested for thermal stability
• UL/CSA approvals and UL 94V-0 flammability rating

What are the installation features and physical specs?

The raceway comes as a 6.5 ft (2 m) section sized 2" wide by 3" high with pre-cut mounting holes for secure attachment to drywall or wood with screws. The lid uses a simple latch mechanism so the cover snaps on and off for routine access without special tools.

• Length: 6.5 ft (2 m); Height: 3" (75 mm); Width: 2" (50 mm)
• Mounting holes 15 mm x 5 mm for screw installation (screws not included)
• Cover latch for tool-free removal and reinstallation

How many cables can it manage and what cable types fit best?

With a generous internal area and slotted access points, this raceway can handle large cable bundles—up to approximately 180 typical patch-cord-style conductors depending on gauge. It is well suited for mixed installations of network patch cords, power leads, and AV cables when routed appropriately.

• Maximum capacity: up to 180 cables (dependent on cable diameter)
• Designed to route patch cords, Ethernet, power and AV cabling
• Gray finish for a neutral, unobtrusive appearance
