Cable Waterfalls
When you need custom waterfalls for datacom cable management—whether for fiber optics, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, or Cat 7—Testrite OEM designs and manufactures wire management solutions in including waterfall performance trays volume. We design, manufacture and powder coat these, all in house in Hackensack NJ, USA, for FAST shipping.
Precision-Engineered for Fiber and Copper Cable Management
Maintaining proper cable angle and bend radius is critical to ensure signal integrity and avoid damage. For example, a minimum bend radius of ~3–4 inches helps protect fiber optics during large vertical drops and right angle turns. Our cable waterfalls act as a cable caddy, keeping your cables organized, supported, and visually clean within your containment system while protecting cables from damage.
Custom Sizes, Bend Radii, and Configurations
Testrite OEM manufactures and powder coats custom cable tray waterfalls in-house, which means you can get exactly what your data center needs—fast. We can produce radius exit and radius down styles, with side pieces and vertical funnels in common sizes like 4", 6", 8", 10", or 12", or any custom dimension you require. We can manufacture top mount waterfalls as well. Bring us your waterfall design challenges!
Example Configurations
- Radius Exit Waterfalls – for side exits from cable raceways
- Radius Down Waterfalls – for vertical cable drops with customizable funnels
- Custom Bend Radii available with in house tool making
- Mounting Brackets – proprietary support bracket for load stability, with tool free adjustability
- Custom is our Specialty! Reach out if you need custom wire management solutions
Fast, Made-in-USA Production
All design, fabrication, and powder coating happen in-house at our New Jersey facility. Our advanced capabilities include steel laser cutting, sheet metal forming, tool making, welding, and automated powder coating—ensuring quality and consistency. We ship custom orders in days or weeks, not months.
Powder-Coated Finishes for a Clean, Professional Look
Our in-house powder coating provides durable finishes in white, black, or custom colors.

Cable Waterfalls — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cable waterfall and why is it used in data centers?
Fiber optic cables have minimum bend radius beyond which cables can be damaged. Waterfalls help to ensure that minimum radius is maintained where cables drop from cable raceway into a server cabinet, pod, or networking rack. A cable waterfall also helps to organize cables, reducing stress, and keeping fiber/copper organized for reliable performance.
Which cables are supported (fiber, Cat 5e/6/6A/7)?
Our waterfalls are used for fiber optic and twisted-pair copper (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, Cat 7) as well as power-limited control/low-voltage bundles when bend-radius management is required.
Are these compatible with common cable tray brands?
Yes. We manufacture to fit common wire mesh and ladder tray geometries. Provide tray make/model or drawings and we’ll align hole patterns, widths, and mounting interfaces.
What materials and finishes are available?
Steel or aluminum, with in-house production powder coating. Standard finishes include white and black; we can color-match to RAL/PMS or site standards upon request.
How fast can you ship?
Typical custom production ships in weeks, not months, thanks to in-house laser cutting, forming, welding, and powder coating in New Jersey. Expedited options available.
Do you supply mounting brackets and hardware?
Yes. We offer a proprietary support bracket that keeps the waterfall vertical under load. We can also supply fasteners specified to your tray and site standards.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
We specialize in volume manufacturing but can accommodate pilot runs. Share your rollout plan and we’ll propose quantities that balance cost and speed.
Where are the products made?
Designed, fabricated, and powder coated in the USA at our New Jersey facilities for fast lead times and consistent quality.
How do I get a quote?
Email drawings/specs or use our contact form with tray details, dimensions, finish, quantity, and schedule. We’ll return a fast, clear quote.
