Middle Atlantic RIB Floor Support Angle

Designed to streamline data-center and equipment room builds, the Middle Atlantic RIB Floor Support Angle is a key component of the Raised Floor Enclosure System™. This practical solution features 2-1/2" high riser bases that enable field rough-in procedures before racks and enclosures arrive, helping you move projects forward quickly. Ideal for multi-bay installations, it also serves as a lower cable chase, allowing clean, organized routing of cables between racks. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the RIB Floor Support Angle delivers sturdy support, flexible placement, and a streamlined workflow from rough-in to final installation.

  • Time-saving field rough-in capability: The 2-1/2" high riser bases provide immediate, stable support during rough-in stages, enabling technicians to position and mock up layouts without waiting for full rack deployment. This feature accelerates project timelines and reduces on-site coordination work, making it easier to plan cable paths, power routes, and equipment footprints before final assembly.
  • Integrated lower cable chase for clean, organized cabling: Designed to pass cables between racks in multi-bay configurations, the RIB Floor Support Angle gives you a dedicated pathway that keeps cables neatly contained and protected. This minimizes congestion, reduces strain on connectors, and simplifies future changes or reconfigurations as your network evolves.
  • Versatile, modular support for Raised Floor Enclosure System™: Built to work in conjunction with Middle Atlantic’s raised-floor solutions, this angle adapts to various rack layouts and room footprints. Its modular nature supports flexible configurations, allowing you to scale from a single rack to multi-bay deployments without sacrificing stability or cable management.
  • Rugged construction with dependable finish: Engineered for professional environments, the RIB Floor Support Angle offers solid strength and long-term durability. The robust base design supports equipment weight and withstands daily handling, while the finish resists wear in high-traffic, equipment-heavy settings—ensuring performance stays consistent over time.
  • Effortless installation and adaptable height: The 2-1/2" riser height and straightforward mounting approach simplify installation, reducing the need for specialized tools. Whether you’re configuring a new build or retrofitting an existing room, this floor support angle makes alignment, leveling, and securing components quick and efficient.

How to install Middle Atlantic RIB Floor Support Angle

Installation of the Middle Atlantic RIB Floor Support Angle is designed to be straightforward for professional installers, with the goal of preserving the integrity of your raised floor system while enabling rapid rough-in and cable management. Follow these general steps to ensure a solid, compliant setup that aligns with multi-bay configurations and Raised Floor Enclosure System™ recommendations:

1) Assess the space and plan the layout. Begin by mapping your rack footprint, floor plan, and desired cabling routes. Identify where the RIB Floor Support Angles will be placed to support the raised floor bases and where the lower cable chase should run between bays. Confirm any obstructions, HVAC components, or existing utilities that could affect installation.

2) Position the riser bases. Place the 2-1/2" high riser bases at the planned locations, ensuring they align with rack footprints and floor panels. Use a level to verify that each base sits evenly, as level footing is critical for stability and proper cable routing. If your floor requires shims or minor adjustments, add them before final securing.

3) Secure to the subfloor or structural elements. Attach the bases using appropriate fasteners chosen for your floor type and building codes. Depending on the substrate, you may need anchors, screws, or bolts designed to resist vibration and occasional equipment movement. Tighten to specification, ensuring no play that could compromise the raised floor alignment.

4) Route the cable chase pathway. With bases in place, plan and route the lower cable chase path between bays. Install any required panels, guides, or separators to maintain an organized, obstruction-free conduit for cabling. Ensure cables have sufficient slack where needed to accommodate equipment changes while avoiding tight bends that can degrade signal integrity.

5) Install racks and enclosure components. Once the floor supports and cable routes are in place, begin mounting racks and raised-floor components as per the Raised Floor Enclosure System™ guidelines. Level the system, confirm alignment with adjacent bays, and perform a final check of cable routes, power distribution paths, and cooling airflow around the installed equipment.

6) Verify accessibility and safety. Confirm that all access panels can be opened without interference, that cables are not pinched or strained, and that the overall configuration maintains safe clearances for maintenance personnel. Periodically inspect the riser bases and fasteners to ensure continued stability over time.

Tip: Always follow the equipment manufacturer’s weight and clearance specifications when adding servers, switches, or other heavy components. The RIB Floor Support Angle is designed to support raised-floor configurations, but exact load ratings can vary with installation details and floor type. If you anticipate future expansions or reconfigurations, plan your cable paths and riser placements with that in mind to minimize disruption later.

Frequently asked questions
