Middle Atlantic 45 RU Wire Grid Lace, 6 Inches Wide

Discover a smarter approach to cable management with the Middle Atlantic 45 RU Wire Grid Lace, a 6-inch-wide vertical lace designed to streamline your rack infrastructure. This lightweight, high‑capacity solution is built to tame cables behind SNE Series racks and is equally compatible with a wide range of other 19-inch rack enclosures thanks to its universal mounting hardware. The vertical grid lace creates an open, breathable pathway for power, data, and accessory cables, reducing clutter, improving airflow, and simplifying service life for critically organized AV, IT, and audio installations.

Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the 6" wide vertical lace provides a flexible routing channel that preserves rack space while allowing for rapid reconfiguration as your system grows. Its wire-type construction delivers a forgiving surface for cable overspill while maintaining a neat, professional appearance. By separating power and data runs, this grid lace helps minimize interference and crosstalk, so your equipment stays cooler and more accessible during maintenance. Whether you’re outfitting a data center, broadcast facility, or a compact studio rack, this lace delivers consistent performance and enduring value.

• 6" wide vertical wire grid lace designed to fit 45 RU rack configurations and handle dense cabling without buckling or sagging.
• Includes specific hardware for SNE Series racks and universal mounting hardware for use in other racks, ensuring broad compatibility and fast, tool‑free installation where possible.
• Lightweight, durable steel wire construction with a breathable lattice pattern that promotes airflow and makes routing and re-routing cables quick and straightforward.
• Effectively reduces cable clutter behind equipment, simplifies service access, and helps maintain a clean, professional rack presentation in any environment.
• Versatile installation for a wide range of cabling types (power, data, AV, and control) with easy integration into existing rack layouts and future expandability as your system evolves.

Technical Details of Middle Atlantic 45 RU Wire Grid Lace, 6 Inches Wide

• Width: 6 inches (vertical lace dimension for flexible cable routing across standard rack rails).
• Compatibility: Designed for SNE Series racks with included specific hardware; universal mounting hardware is included for use in other 19" racks.
• Construction: Lightweight steel wire grid with an open lattice pattern to maximize airflow and ease of cable management.
• Purpose: Creates a dedicated vertical path for cables behind equipment to reduce clutter and improve accessibility for maintenance and reconfiguration.
• Installation footprint: Optimized to integrate with standard 19" rack systems, enabling quick attachment and minimal modification to existing installations.

How to install Middle Atlantic 45 RU Wire Grid Lace, 6 Inches Wide

• Identify whether your rack is a SNE Series model or a standard 19" rack that requires universal mounting hardware. Gather the appropriate mounting hardware included with the lace kit.
• Power down equipment as needed and plan cable routes. Position the grid lace along the chosen vertical plane to align with rack rails for stable attachment.
• Attach the lace to the rack using the provided hardware. For SNE Series racks, use the specific hardware designed for a secure, clean mounting. For other racks, utilize the universal mounting hardware to ensure a snug fit.
• Begin routing cables through the lattice in logical groupings (power, data, and AV) to maximize airflow and minimize cross‑talk. Allow extra slack where equipment may be serviced or relocated in the future.
• Inspect the installation for clearance around front and rear doors, verify that cables are not kinked or overly taut, and perform a brief operational check to confirm that airflow remains unobstructed and access is unhindered for routine maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the Middle Atlantic 45 RU Wire Grid Lace used for? A: It provides a lightweight, vertical cable management solution behind racks, reducing clutter, improving airflow, and simplifying future reconfigurations for both SNE Series and non‑SNE Series racks.
• Q: Is this grid lace compatible with racks other than SNE Series? A: Yes. The kit includes universal mounting hardware designed to fit a wide range of 19" racks, enabling flexible deployment across multiple deployments.
• Q: How many cables can the 6" wide lace accommodate? A: The grid lace is engineered to handle typical dense cabling behind equipment bays; the exact capacity depends on cable diameter and organization, but its open lattice design supports scalable routing for power, data, and AV cables.
• Q: Does installation require professional tools or specialized skills? A: Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with standard rack configs; common tools and included hardware are sufficient for secure mounting in most environments.
