Professional cable management with Delock: Tidiness in the network starts at the base
17. July 2025 Delock

In network technology, clean cable management is not just a question of aesthetics – it is a decisive factor for reliability, maintainability and security. Especially in IT environments where many components have to communicate with each other, a confusing tangle of cables can quickly become a problem.

One provider that particularly stands out in this area is Delock. The German company specializes in high-quality IT accessory solutions – from interface adapters and connection cables to sophisticated cable management products that make a real difference in professional networks.

Why is cable management so important?

A well-organized network doesn’t start with the switches or firewalls – it starts with the cabling. Because:

  • Unstructured cabling can lead to connection errors, signal interference or even failures.
  • Poor air circulation due to wildly hanging cables increases the temperature in the rack – and therefore the risk of hardware failures.
  • Troubleshooting in a chaotic network cabinet often takes twice as long – which wastes valuable time in critical situations.
  • Tripping hazards and cable breaks in desktop or office cabling increase the risk of physical damage.

A well thought-out cable management system prevents all this – and offers a professional look in addition to the technical function.

The solution: Cable management with a system – and with Delock

Delock offers a wide range of components with which networks of any size can be set up and maintained in a structured manner. Whether in server racks, offices or home networks – the solutions are modular, robust and practice-oriented.

Here is an overview of the most important product categories:

Cable clips, holders & guide elements

The self-adhesive cable clips or screw-on holders from Delock make it possible to route cables in an orderly fashion along walls, tables or within 19″ racks. This means that even larger cable bundles can be clearly structured without cables overlapping or kinking.

A particular highlight are the cable grommets with brush insert, which are used in patch panels or enclosures. They allow cables to be fed out cleanly while at the same time protecting against dust and maintaining air circulation.

Velcro straps & cable ties

Compared to conventional plastic ties, Delock cable ties offer a clear advantage: they are reusable and protect the cables. They are ideal for temporary setups, laboratories or dynamic IT environments.

Hook and loop tapes on meter rolls can be cut to size individually – a big plus for installations with many different cable lengths.

Patch panel & shunting aids

A tidy network cabinet stands and falls with the patch panel. Delock offers different versions – some with integrated cable management – as well as patch panels with brackets or brush strips that prevent cable chaos directly behind the panel.

In combination with neatly laid patch cables (ideally in different lengths and colors), this creates a structured cabling system that can be expanded at any time.

Marking & color coding

Anyone who has ever searched for the right connection in a “tangle of cables” knows that cable labeling is worth its weight in gold. Delock offers colored clips, labels and markers with which networks can be logically structured and clearly labeled – whether by function, VLAN or department.

Practical tip: Plan first, then wire

A common mistake is to start directly with the cabling. It is better to create a cabling plan first:

  • Which devices are connected?
  • What cable lengths are required?
  • Where are strain reliefs useful?
  • Which colors should be used for which purposes?

With this basis, you can select the right products from the Delock range.

Our conclusion: Delock brings order to every network

Whether small network cabinet or extensive IT infrastructure – with Delock’s cable management solutions, any cabling can be designed professionally, efficiently and securely. The combination of high processing quality, sophisticated design and practical variety makes Delock a real insider tip for IT professionals, admins and technology enthusiasts.
