Does Anyone Make a 1/2 U Cable Organizer? Will 07-15-06

I'm looking for an extremely short 1/2 U (or smaller) cable organizer that I
can use with 16 port ethernet switches. I have a lot of these associated
with different segments on a firewall, and I really have a shortage of rack
space. Does anyone make such a thing? I have many 1U organizers, and I
really do need 1/2 U.

Can you even put something that's a fractional-U height into a rack
without wasting the space it doesn't take up?

Zip or velcro tie individual cables into groups of four, two to the
left, and two to the right. Zip or velcro tie each of the four bundles
to vertical cable manager slightly higher than connectors, making
graceful nice curves to ensure proper strain relief at RJ-45
connectors. In a pinch, use unused holes on EIA 19" rack with zip ties
as vertical organizer.

I have used the following product in similar situations with with good
success:

http://www.comtop.com/Products/Accessories/Accessory.html

It's the last item down the page. Comtop sells through retailers and
resellers only, I believe. I got some through:

http://www.netcablesplus.com

This company does not list all of its products online, so you need to
email or call them to get a quote on this product.
