Elevate your rack cable management with a purpose-built solution from Middle Atlantic. This 1" wide perforated steel lacer strip set delivers robust, scalable organization for cables in professional rack environments. Designed to mount vertically to standard rackrail brackets, these lacer strips offer numerous attachment points for cable ties, making it easier than ever to secure, route, and manage cables with precision. Whether you’re outfitting a data center, broadcast rack, or recording studio, this 44-space configuration provides ample room to route power, data, and voice cables cleanly and efficiently, helping to improve airflow, simplify maintenance, and reduce the risk of cable damage.

The LACE-OWP and LACE-OP strips included in this setup feature tie posts for sliding on pre-wrapped cable bundles using cable ties or up to 3/4" wide Velcro. This thoughtful design enables fast installation and flexible bundling, so you can compress slack, prevent tangles, and maintain a neat, professional appearance across all racks. The perforated construction blends strength with clean aesthetics, allowing you to cut the strips down to smaller sizes as needed to fit unique rack configurations without sacrificing performance. With 10 tie saddles integrated into the system, you’ll have plenty of anchor points to secure bundles precisely where you want them, whether you’re managing a handful of cables or a dense network of patch leads.

The 44-space footprint means you can align cables in a logical, labeled pattern, making routine inspections and service calls quicker and less error-prone. The 1" width sits comfortably within standard rack profiles, providing a streamlined path for bundles without crowding adjacent equipment. The combination of durability, modularity, and ease of cutting makes this system a versatile choice for installers who need a dependable, long-lasting solution that can adapt as rack configurations evolve.

How to Install Middle Atlantic 1" Width, 44 Space w/ 10 Tie Saddles

• Prepare your rack: Ensure your rack is compatible with standard 19" rackrail brackets and has available vertical mounting space for a 1" wide lacer strip system.

• Secure to rackrails: Attach the lacer strips to the rackrail brackets using the appropriate mounting method provided by Middle Atlantic hardware. Make sure the strips are level and firmly fastened to prevent movement during cable management tasks.
• Route and bundle cables: Starting at the top, route cables along the lacer strips. Use the tie posts on LACE-OWP and LACE-OP to slide pre-wrapped bundles into place, then secure with cable ties or up to 3/4" Velcro to keep bundles tidy and restrained.
• Utilize tie saddles: Take advantage of the 10 tie saddles to anchor bundles at strategic points. Space bundles evenly to maintain clear access to ports and minimize interference with adjacent equipment.
• Trim as needed: If you’re working with a non-standard rack or special cable runs, trim the lacer strips to the required length and re-secure. The cut-to-size capability helps you tailor the system without waste or complicated fabrication.
• Test and label: After installation, perform a quick test by gently tugging on bundles to confirm secure mounting. Label cables as needed to simplify future maintenance and reconfigurations.
