Middle Atlantic LBP Adjustable Horizontal Lace
Elevate your rack cable management with the Middle Atlantic LBP Adjustable Horizontal Lace, a versatile, multi-depth solution designed for professional AV and IT installations. This innovative lace bar reorganizes cables with precision, enabling up to four different depths on a single horizontal plane. Whether you’re separating power, data, video, or audio signals, the LBP gives you the flexibility to tailor cable paths, reduce interference, improve airflow, and simplify future maintenance. Built for demanding environments, this lace bar is the smart choice for engineers, integrators, and technicians who demand clean, scalable, and reliable cable management.
- Four lacer bars in one: The LBP delivers a unique four-in-one configuration, allowing you to run multiple cables on up to four distinct depths in a single horizontal plane. This means you can organize complex cable environments without stacking multiple bars or creating cluttered layouts. By consolidating control into one modular unit, you gain easier access for labeling, testing, and servicing, while maintaining a tidy, professional appearance across your rack. The design reduces the need to cross cables or thread them through separate pathways, saving time during installation and upgrades.
- Flexible depth options for precise cable separation: The LBP supports discrete depth settings at 0", 2", 4", and 6" offsets on a single lace bar when used with appropriate offset configurations. This level of granularity allows you to route power cords away from data lines, shield high-signal cables from potential interference, and create dedicated channels for different cable families. The result is cleaner signal paths, minimized cross-talk, and improved cable management discipline in dense rack environments where space is at a premium.
- Optional LL-VA21 Lever Loc compatibility: For environments that demand quick, repeatable positioning, the LBP can be paired with the LL-VA21 Lever Loc. This optional lever locking accessory provides secure retention and fast adjustments, making routine reconfigurations effortless during maintenance sweeps, migrations, or expansions. Lever Loc integration helps ensure cables stay on their intended paths and reduces the risk of accidental shifts caused by vibration or routine handling of the rack.
- Designed for professional rack systems: The LBP is engineered to integrate seamlessly with standard Middle Atlantic rack configurations, aligning with common mounting patterns and space allowances found in professional AV and IT deployments. Its modular nature supports scalable installations—from compact studio racks to full-size data-center enclosures—without compromising on accessibility or organization. A clean, modular solution like the LBP contributes to better airflow, easier cable labeling, and faster servicing, which are essential in mission-critical environments.
- Enhances organization, serviceability, and performance: By enabling multi-depth separation on a single plane, the LBP promotes logical cable routing, reduced clutter, and improved cable management discipline. The ability to route and secure different cable types in distinct depths minimizes interference, simplifies troubleshooting, and accelerates maintenance windows. In addition, the streamlined arrangement improves airflow within the rack, helping equipment stay cooler and operate more efficiently over time. All of these factors translate into a more professional installation that’s easier to manage and scale as your system evolves.

how to install Middle Atlantic LBP Adjustable Horizontal Lace
- Plan your cable layout by identifying the function of each cable group (power, data, video, audio) and decide which depths will house each group. Sketch a quick map of your intended paths to minimize crossovers and ensure easy accessibility for future maintenance.
- Prepare your rack by removing any obstructing panels or hardware in the area where the LBP will be mounted. Confirm that there is adequate clearance for the maximum depth setting you plan to use (up to 6 inches) and ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris.
- Position the LBP within the rack rails at the desired height. Align the lacer bars along the horizontal plane so that each depth channel aligns with your planned cable paths. If using the LL-VA21 Lever Loc, leave space for lever access and ensure that the mounting orientation permits straightforward lever operation.
- Secure the LBP to the rack using the appropriate hardware compatible with your rack system. Tighten fasteners evenly to prevent tilting and to maintain a flat, secure surface for cable management. Confirm that all four lacer bars are firmly mounted and that there is no play or movement that could compromise cable routing.
- Route cables into their designated depth channels, labeling each path clearly for quick identification. Separate high-power cables from low-signal lines to reduce electromagnetic interference, and avoid crossing paths within the same depth where possible. If using the LL-VA21 Lever Loc, install the lever locks to secure each depth channel as needed for your application.
- Test the setup by connecting a representative sample of cables and verifying that each channel maintains its depth and separation. Check for clearance around connectors, adapters, and bulkier components. Confirm ease of reconfiguration should your system needs evolve, and document the layout for future technicians or deployments.
- Document and label the final arrangement, including depth assignments and the function of each channel. This practice speeds future upgrades, simplifies troubleshooting, and helps maintain compliance with internal standards or client requirements.
