Quick / another “i made a thing!” post.

I needed some horizontal / vertical cable rings for cat5 and power cables. I would have used the excellent 1U Rackmount Cable Management Rings by boulwarek except the hole spacing didn’t work for my application. I needed cable rings for the ‘front-to-back’ braces which have distinct dimensions:

• holes needed to be spaced 10.85mm apart
• distance between center of screw is 20.0mm

I made the rings slightly smaller as the horizontal / vertical runs I needed rings for do not carry more than a few cables.
