At Rackmount.IT we believe that small changes can make a big impact, especially when it comes to improving the experience for our customers. That’s why we’re excited to share a key upgrade in our rack design: we’re switching to Velcro for cable bundling in all our new racks and bestsellers.
Why Velcro?
When it comes to bundling cables, Velcro simply outperforms zip ties in many ways:
- Easier Adjustments. With Velcro, making changes to your cable set up is a breeze. Need to add, remove or rearrange cables? Just undo and reattach the Velcro, no cutting, no damaged cables, no hassle.
- Less Waste. Unlike zip ties, which need to be discarded after a single use, Velcro is reusable. This makes it a more sustainable choice, reducing plastic waste and giving you more value over time.
- Customer Friendly. Less time spent managing cables. A more adaptable set up as your needs change. An eco-friendlier solution without compromising on quality.
With Velcro, your racks stay clean, organized, and ready for future updates without creating unnecessary waste.
Why still use zip ties for power supplies?
While Velcro is a fantastic solution for cable bundling, we’ve decided to keep using zip ties to secure power supplies.
Here’s why:
- Unmatched stability. Power supplies are critical components that need to stay firmly in place. Zip ties provide the level of stability and strength required to ensure they don’t shift or come loose.
- Minimizing risk. A loose power supply can lead to outages or even damage to your equipment, something no one wants. Zip ties help minimize this risk, ensuring your systems run smoothly.
- Reliability where it counts. For our customers, this means you can trust that your power supply is secured for optimal performance and minimal downtime. Stability is key, and zip ties deliver.
What does this mean for you?
By combining Velcro for cable bundling and zip ties for securing power supplies, we’re giving you the best of both worlds:
- Flexibility where you need it most.
- Stability where it matters most.
Our goal is to make your rack setup not only easier to manage but also more reliable and sustainable. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering smart, customer-focused solutions.
As we're transitioning from zip ties to Velcro for cable bundling; all new racks include Velcro. However, older models may still have zip ties in the assembly bag during this transition.
