how to install Middle Atlantic 45RU Lace Strip with Round Holes
Installing the 45RU Lace Strip is straightforward and designed to integrate smoothly with your existing rack setup. Follow these practical steps to maximize cable management efficiency:
1. Prepare the rack area: Clear the mounting plane along the rack rail brackets where you plan to install the lace strip. Ensure there is unobstructed access to the vertical space and that the rack is stable.
2. Align the lace strip with the rack rails: Position the lace strip so that its mounting points line up with the vertical brackets on your 19-inch rack. The vertical orientation should match your preferred cabling route and align with other cable management accessories in use.
3. Attach the lace strip to the rack: Secure the lace strip to the rack rail brackets using the standard mounting method appropriate for your enclosure. If slip-on posts are included, slide them into place to provide a reference point for initiating pre-wrapped bundles.
4. Prepare the cable bundles: Before threading through the lace strip, group cables into orderly bundles. Use the slip-on posts to hold the pre-wrapped bundles together, ensuring that the bundles are neat and consistent in diameter for easy insertion into the lace strip.
5. Route cables through round holes: Starting at the top or bottom of the lace strip, guide the bundles through the round holes as needed to create a clean vertical cable presentation. Use multiple holes to achieve the desired spacing and cable separation for airflow and future expansion.
6. Secure with ASP-OWP anti-slip cables if used: If you’re employing ASP-OWP anti-slip cables, thread them through the appropriate holes and position them to minimize movement within the rack. This helps maintain stable cable organization in environments with vibration or heavy equipment activity.
7. Check clearance and airflow: After installation, verify that cables are not overly tight and that there is adequate space for cooling airflow around the cables and components. Adjust bundle sizes or hole placement as needed to maintain performance and accessibility.
8. Plan for future growth: The 6-pack configuration provides flexibility for expanding to additional racks or reconfiguring existing ones. Consider a staggered installation approach across adjacent cabinets to maintain a consistent, scalable cable management system.
