Poweredge Crabs baskets

Hello,

 

we have about 85 DELL servers in our datacenter, we are building a new one. My question is about the rear "Crabs basket". 

We used it to manage cables, but are this baskets a problem, an obstacle to the hot air extraction? Is it better to don't use it and manage cables with cable ties, cable warp (VELCRO)?

 

And a second question do you use it?

    The cable-managment would have been designed with airflow in mind.

    They are used all over the place, and i've never seen a problem caused by using these.

    It's simply a matter of personal preference.

    causing problem sure not but all this cables rolled up in front of the airflow, i think it's not the best way...

    Dell have been selling these types of cable management arms for many years. They wouldn't have been designed this way if they were going to cause issues. They certainly wouldn't have continued to sell them had there been issues with them.
