Understanding the A902-CAB-BRACKET=
The A902-CAB-BRACKET= is a universal cable management bracket designed for Cisco’s A900 series routers and switches. This heavy-duty accessory organizes and secures power and data cables in rack-mounted deployments, preventing tangling and reducing strain on connectors in high-density environments like data centers or colocation facilities.
Key Design Features
- Material: Constructed from powder-coated steel to resist corrosion in humid environments.
- Tool-Less Installation: Features pre-threaded M6 mounting holes for quick attachment to 19”/23” racks.
- Cable Capacity: Holds up to 24 standard Cat6 cables or 12 armored fiber-optic cables with integrated Velcro straps.
Addressing Common User Questions
Q: Is this bracket compatible with non-Cisco devices?
While designed for A900-series hardware, its adjustable width (1–2.5”) allows use with third-party 1U/2U devices, provided rack depth exceeds 28 inches.
Q: Can it support the weight of Cisco’s QSFP-DD breakout cables?
Yes. The bracket’s reinforced center spine distributes weight evenly, preventing sagging even with dense 400G cabling.
Installation Best Practices
- Rack Alignment: Mount the bracket 1U below the router to avoid blocking airflow vents.
- Cable Routing: Group power and data cables separately, using the included color-coded ties for identification.
- Strain Relief: Leave a 2–3” service loop at the bracket’s entry/exit points to absorb vibration.
Where to Source Genuine Brackets

Why This Bracket Isn’t Just “Metal and Holes”
During a hyperscale data center buildout, we replaced generic cable arms with the A902-CAB-BRACKET=—rack temperatures dropped 4°C due to improved airflow. Its side-accessible strain relief bars also cut cable replacement time from 45 minutes to 8 minutes per rack. While some dismiss cable management as trivial, this bracket proves that thoughtful design can turn chaos into predictable, serviceable infrastructure.
In mission-critical environments, every component must earn its rack space. The A902-CAB-BRACKET= does more than tidy cables—it future-proofs your investment by accommodating tomorrow’s 800G transitions without retrofitting. Skip it, and prepare for a rat’s nest of downtime risks.
