Data Centers - Cable and Cooling Hose Management

As part of a smarter cable and cooling-hose management strategy, standoff-style insulators (or non-conductive spacers) help data centers boost reliability and organization—especially when paired with engineered supports, advanced routing systems, and airflow-optimized designs.

Goals of Cable & Cooling Hose Management

  1. Prevent physical stress on power/data cables and liquid cooling hoses

  2. Maintain airflow and avoid hot-aisle/cold-aisle disruption

  3. Provide mechanical separation (especially between power + fiber + cooling lines)

  4. Ensure safety (no abrasion, no kinks, no condensation issues near power)

  5. Enable easy maintenance and equipment swaps

Best Practices for Cable & Hose Management

  1. Use dedicated routing systems
  2. Maintain physical separation
  3. Choose proper hose support hardware
  4. Maintain bend radius
  5. Avoid airflow obstruction

Where Standoff Insulators or Spacers Fit In

  1. Vertical and horizontal separation
  2. Mounting hoses to cabinet frames
  3. Supporting high-pressure liquid cooling lines
