Wiremold RC9AMD Communications Poke-Thru Device Finish Flange And Slide Holder Assembly

The Wiremold RC9AMD Communications Poke-Thru Device Finish Flange And Slide Holder Assembly is engineered for clean, professional cable management where data and communications infrastructure crosses interior walls. This rugged accessory combines a durable poke-thru body with a versatile flange and slide holder, delivering a seamless solution for routing low-voltage cables, keeping workspaces tidy, and protecting connections from dust, debris, and wear. Designed for commercial environments such as offices, classrooms, healthcare facilities, and tech-forward retail spaces, this assembly makes it simple to create an accessible, code-compliant penetration in drywall or plaster without sacrificing aesthetics. With a choice of finishes and cover options, you can match or complement your interior design while preserving reliable access to cabling systems. The RC9AMD is more than a conduit pass-through; it’s a thoughtfully engineered gateway that blends form and function for modern networks and communications networks alike.

• Finish versatility for seamless décor integration. Choose from painted gray (GY), black (BK), ivory (VY), or brushed metal finishes in aluminum (AL) and brass (BS). Each option is designed to harmonize with interior palettes while maintaining durability in high-traffic areas. The multi-finish lineup ensures the poke-thru device looks purposefully integrated, not an afterthought, whether in executive offices, conference rooms, or shared workspaces.
• Durable construction with premium materials. The aluminum and brass flange variants provide sturdy, long-lasting performance suitable for commercial environments. These materials resist impact and wear, helping to maintain a professional appearance over time and reducing maintenance needs in busy facilities where cables are frequently accessed.
• Versatile cover configurations for clean cabling presentation. Aluminum and brass flanges ship with a black cover by default, offering a sleek, unobtrusive finish. Brass flanges are also available with a brass-colored cover assembly (AB) for a consistent metallic look, while aluminum flanges can be purchased with an aluminum-colored cover for a lighter, coordinated aesthetic. These cover options help conceal hardware and cables while providing easy access when reconfigurations are required.
• Designed for efficient data and communications cabling. The RC9AMD poke-thru device supports data, voice, and low-voltage cables, enabling quick installation of wall feed-throughs for modern networks. Its integrated slide holder keeps cables organized during feeding and maintenance, reducing the risk of kinks, pinches, or damage as cables are routed through walls.
• Ease of installation and serviceability. The finish flange and slide holder assembly is designed for straightforward installation with standard drywall penetrations. The slide mechanism allows quick access to routed cables, enabling field technicians to add or replace components without dismantling the entire wall penetration. This practical design minimizes downtime in busy commercial settings.

how to install Wiremold RC9AMD Communications Poke-Thru Device Finish Flange And Slide Holder Assembly

• Plan the installation location and determine the desired finish and cover option to match interior design and code requirements.
• Turn off power to nearby circuits as a standard safety precaution, even though this is a low-voltage application, and verify wall structure for stud placement and interference with plumbing or other penetrations.
• Mark the opening for the poke-thru device according to the manufacturer’s recommended hole size, ensuring the cut is clean and free of debris to prevent irregular fit.
• Cut the drywall or wall material to the specified aperture, then install the finish flange into the opening. Align the flange so that it sits flush with the wall surface and tighten fasteners securely for a stable base.
• Feed cables through the wall opening into the slide holder area, organizing them to prevent tangling. Use the slide mechanism to route cables efficiently and guide them toward the intended terminal blocks or connectors.
• Attach the cover configuration that matches your selected finish (black, aluminum-colored, or brass-colored) to conceal the flange and cables while maintaining a clean appearance.
• Ensure all cables are properly terminated at their destinations and that the slide is smooth and unobstructed. Check for any pinches or kinks and adjust as needed before finalizing the installation.
• Test the system by gently pulling and re-routing cables to confirm that the cover, slide, and flange operate without binding, then re-secure any trim pieces as required.

Frequently asked questions

• What finishes are available for the RC9AMD poke-thru device? The RC9AMD offers painted gray (GY), black (BK), ivory (VY), brushed aluminum (AL), and brushed brass (BS) finishes, providing flexible aesthetic options to match various interior environments. Aluminum and brass flanges include black covers by default, while brass flanges can be paired with brass-colored covers (AB) and aluminum flanges with aluminum-colored covers to fit specific design preferences.
• Can I install the RC9AMD in any wall type? The RC9AMD is designed for standard wall constructions typically found in commercial buildings. For best results, ensure the wall material can accommodate a poke-thru penetration and that there is space for the slide holder mechanism to operate without obstruction. Consult the installation guide for hole dimensions and mounting requirements.
• Is this poke-thru device suitable for data and communications cabling? Yes, the RC9AMD is specifically designed for communications and data cabling, providing a clean entry point for low-voltage cables with an integrated slide holder to organize and protect cables during installation and maintenance.
• Do the covers affect cable access? The covers are designed to conceal the hardware while still allowing access when needed. Depending on the chosen finish, covers may be black, aluminum-colored, or brass-colored, balancing aesthetics with practical accessibility for future cable changes.
• Are there any special tools required for installation? Standard hand tools suitable for drywall cutting and mounting are typically sufficient. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for precise hole sizes, mounting hardware, and procedures to ensure a secure fit and proper operation of the slide mechanism.
• What maintenance is required for the RC9AMD? Routine inspection to confirm the cover remains securely attached, the slide moves freely, and cables are not pinched is typically adequate. If the facility experiences heavy usage, periodic checks during routine maintenance are recommended to preserve performance and appearance.
