Middle Atlantic 3-1/4" Width, 40 Space W/ Tie Posts
Designed for professional AV and IT rack environments, the Middle Atlantic 3-1/4" Width, 40 Space W/ Tie Posts delivers a focused solution for organizing and securing cables within densely populated rack enclosures. These perforated steel lacer strips mount vertically to rackrail brackets, creating a reliable backbone for cable management that can scale with your installation. The ability to accommodate a wide variety of tie-down methods means you can secure loose cables, bundles, and pre-wrapped sets with ease, reducing clutter, improving airflow around equipment, and simplifying future reconfigurations. The LACE-OWP and LACE-OP strips feature tie posts for sliding on pre-wrapped cable bundles using cable ties or up to 3/4" wide Hoo, enabling fast, repeatable cable routing without sacrificing organization or security. Whether you’re outfitting a broadcast studio, data center, or post-production suite, these strips provide a durable, space-efficient solution that aligns with professional rack standards while delivering long-term reliability and compatibility with Middle Atlantic’s comprehensive range of rack accessories. The 40-space configuration in a compact 3-1/4" width maximizes usable area on standard 19" racks, giving technicians precise control over cable runs while keeping critical equipment accessible for maintenance and upgrades.
- Efficient cable management that consolidates and orients cables along the full height of the rack, leveraging multiple tie-off points to keep bundles tidy and out of the way of airflow and fan exhausts.
- Cut-to-fit flexibility that lets installers trim the lacer strips to match exact rack depths or custom layouts, ensuring a clean, professional presentation even in complex enclosures.
- Vertical mounting design built to work with standard rackrail brackets, enabling quick integration into existing rack frames without specialized hardware or adapters.
- Integrated tie posts on LACE-OWP and LACE-OP variants support sliding pre-wrapped bundles, allowing fast setup and re-routing with cable ties or up to 3/4" wide Hoo for secure, stable bundling.
- Durable perforated steel construction provides robust support for long-term installations in AV, IT, and broadcast environments, resisting wear from repeated reconfigurations and cable movement while maintaining a professional aesthetic.

How to install Middle Atlantic 3-1/4" Width, 40 Space W/ Tie Posts
- Plan your cable layout in advance by mapping out bundles, tie-off points, and the path each run will take through the enclosure.
- Position the perforated lacer strip vertically along the rackrail brackets, aligning with the 19" rack columns and ensuring the 40-space sequence has a clean starting point.
- Secure the lacer strip to the rackrail brackets using standard rack hardware appropriate for your enclosure. Ensure the strip sits flat against the rails with no gaps to prevent cable movement.
- If a custom length is required, trim the lacer strip to the desired size using appropriate metal snips, and remove any burrs to avoid cable damage or injury during installation.
- Begin routing cables by threading bundles through the tie posts. Use cable ties to secure each bundle, starting at the top and working downward to maintain gravity-assisted organization and reduce snags.
- For LACE-OWP and LACE-OP configurations, slide pre-wrapped bundles along the tie posts as needed, taking advantage of the system’s built-in post support for smooth, adjustable routing up to 3/4" wide Hoo.
- Check all bundles for clearance and airflow, ensuring that no cable ties are overtightened and that power and data cables remain segregated where necessary to minimize interference.
- Label runs where helpful and verify accessibility for future maintenance, testing, or reconfiguration without removing entire bundles from their tie posts.
- Perform a final inspection to confirm stability, neatness, and proper integration with other mounting components and equipment within the rack.
