Card Guide Manufacturers
Card guides are produced to accept either center or side mount cards. Card guides are designed to accept printed circuit boards of a particular thickness. So card guides need to be selected to accommodate the style of board used in the system. Common sizes; 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" thick printed circuit boards. Card guides may also be produced in either Plastic or Metal. Plastic card guides are much cheaper than their more expensive metal counter-parts. Air flow blockers which close off the air coming from beneath the card cage may also be used with some types of card guides [used in an empty slot].
