Gizmac Xrackpro25 Cable Management advice needed

[K D]

Anyone have this Rack? I am using it for 5 supermicro 216 and one 846 chassis. There doesn't seem to be enough space for a 0U pdu or a vertical cable manager.

Looking for some tips and (or) pics of your setup.

This is how the rack is loaded
1U Arista
1U dell r230

Nope, wasn’t me.. all HPE racks.

I have one and my biggest gripe is the lack of zero U space or even really enough to route cables. I wasn’t able to come up with anything creative that would allow for decent vertical cable management.

Still looking for a used second generation netshelter CX...

This weekend I'll take down everything and try to move the rails to max possible to the front and see if I can get another inch in the back.

Any recommendations for a 0U managed pdu?

I rearranged the vertical posts by moving them as front as possible and it gives around 5" of space in the rear. Will probably be a tight fit but I should be able to squeeze in a 0U PDU in there.

Can someone recommend am inexpensive managed 0U PDU that will fit a 25u rack?

This is the best pic I could take of the rear post. Sorry about the poor lighting.
