Vertical cable management focuses on the organization and routing of cables in a vertical direction, typically within server racks or network cabinets. It involves using vertical cable managers, such as cable trays, vertical cable rings, or cable management arms, to guide and support cables from top to bottom.
Horizontal cable management, on the other hand, is concerned with the organization and routing of cables in a horizontal direction, often within the same rack or cabinet. It involves the use of horizontal cable managers, such as cable ducts, cable managers, or brush strips, to route and secure cables side to side or front to back.
