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.
Does Anyone Make a 1/2 U Cable Organizer?

maybe use a "lacing" bar
see LBP-1.5

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.

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.
