What is the brush opening actually for?

Its principal job is to provide a controlled front-to-rear cable passage.

Instead of leaving an entire 1U opening through the rack, the bristles close around the cables while still allowing them to slide through for installation or servicing.

It is worth distinguishing that from storing spare cable: the brush is a doorway, not a cupboard.

If the problem you are trying to solve is excess patch-lead length across the front, the ring version is the more relevant part of the range.

Will an RJ45 plug with a bulky or snagless boot pass through the brush? Can I retrofit a brush panel without disconnecting the existing patch leads? Does the brush panel stop dust getting into the rack? Is there any advantage to the brush-only version if I do not need cables to pass front to rear?
