Wiremold AL5200 Large Multi-Channel Raceway Inverted Corner Coupling Fitting
Introducing the Wiremold AL5200 Large Multi-Channel Raceway Inverted Corner Coupling Fitting — a premium component of the AL5200 Series Aluminum Raceway family designed to keep power and data wiring organized while elevating the aesthetic of any space. This raceway system is engineered for versatility, blending seamlessly into casework, lab furniture, or baseboard installations to deliver a clean, professional look without compromising accessibility. The satin anodized finish offers exceptional durability, resisting wear and fingerprints while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance in high-traffic environments such as laboratories, classrooms, offices, and industrial workstations. With the AL5200, you gain a scalable, modular solution that consolidates multiple channels into a single, elegant pathway for cables, cords, and network lines, helping you reduce clutter, improve safety, and simplify future upgrades.
The AL5200 Large Multi-Channel Raceway is designed for environments that demand both form and function. Its inverted corner coupling fitting enables a smooth, continuous run around corners, avoiding protruding fittings and minimizing visual disruption. This design detail is especially valuable in spaces where aesthetics matter as much as performance—tightly integrated workstations, modular lab benches, and contemporary office layouts benefit from a harmonious, uninterrupted look. Beyond looks, the AL5200 is built to handle the rigors of real-world use: aluminum construction provides rigidity and resilience, while the satin anodized finish guards against corrosion, scuffs, and daily handling. Whether you’re outfitting a single workstation or a larger installation, this raceway delivers a robust backbone for power and data distribution that stays invisible while doing the heavy lifting of cable management.
One of the key advantages of the AL5200 system is its multi-channel capability. The large internal cavity design accommodates multiple cables—ranging from high-power connections to low-voltage data lines—without sacrificing space or airflow. This multi-channel approach reduces electrical interference, minimizes the risk of cable congestion, and simplifies labeling and maintenance. In practical terms, technicians can run power and data in parallel within a single enclosure, then separate or re-route as needs evolve. This is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments like research facilities or modern classrooms, where equipment needs can change rapidly and frequent reconfiguration is common. The AL5200’s modularity supports straightforward expansion, allowing you to add channels or accessories as your project scales, without major renovations to your layout.
Installation is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. With its sleek profile and user-friendly fitting system, you can integrate the AL5200 into new builds or retrofit existing spaces with minimal disruption. The system’s compatibility with other AL5200 components ensures a cohesive look and predictable performance across all fittings, transitions, and covers. In practice, this means a streamlined process from planning to commissioning, with the confidence that every piece will align correctly for a flush, professional result. For facilities managers and installers, the AL5200 combines elegant aesthetics with practical engineering, delivering a cable management solution that is as reliable as it is visually appealing.
Durability is a cornerstone of the AL5200. The aluminum alloy construction delivers stiffness and long-term stability, while the satin anodized finish provides a timeless appearance that resists wear, oxidation, and fading in varied environments. This makes the AL5200 well-suited for laboratories, clean rooms, classrooms, and industrial areas where cleaning routines and frequent handling are the norm. The finish also complements other architectural details—fading into the background when required, or standing out as a deliberate design element, depending on the space’s personality. In short, the AL5200 is not just a functional raceway; it’s a design-conscious solution that respects the integrity of your workspace and the integrity of your cables.

How to install Wiremold AL5200
- Plan your routing: Assess the space, identify the best path for power and data, and map out where corners, joints, and fittings will go to maintain a clean line.
- Measure and cut: Determine the required length of the raceway and trim the channel accordingly. Use appropriate cutting tools designed for aluminum to ensure clean, straight cuts.
- Attach mounting surfaces: Secure the raceway base to the wall, casework, or baseboard using the manufacturer’s recommended fasteners. Ensure mounting points align with structural supports and existing surrounds for stability.
- Install inverted corner coupling: Fit the corner fittings to create seamless transitions around 90-degree turns. Verify a snug fit to prevent gaps that could collect dust or impede cable movement.
- Route cables and insert covers: Thread power and data cables through the channels, avoiding sharp bends and overfilling the raceway. Snap on covers to protect cables and deliver a finished look.
- Test and finalize: After cabling, test for accessibility and ease of maintenance. Confirm that all connections are secure and that the finish presents a clean, professional appearance.
