- M1 NF fire resistant
- Warp-proof design
Installation Flexibility
Mount using drilled holes or double-sided tape for secure placement. The raceway works with optional accessories to create custom routing paths around corners and intersections.
- Surface-mount design
- Accessory compatible
- Easy to cut and customize
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for commercial and IT environments, this raceway organizes cables along walls, under desks, or across floors in offices, server rooms, data centers, and retail spaces. It conceals network, power, and AV cables while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and upgrades.
The system supports both permanent and semi-permanent installations, with the gray color minimizing visual impact in professional settings. Use it to route cables from workstations to network switches, manage power strips, or organize conference room AV setups without exposed wiring.
Office Cable Management
Route cables from desks to wall outlets or under-floor conduits, keeping walkways clear and reducing tripping hazards while protecting cables from foot traffic and furniture.
Server Room Organization
Manage patch cables between switches, servers, and racks, containing cable runs to improve airflow, simplify tracing, and maintain a professional appearance.
Physical Profile
The raceway presents a low-profile gray PVC channel with dimensions optimized for standard cable bundles. The 1.5" width and 0.6" height provide ample interior space while maintaining a discreet footprint. The smooth surface allows for easy cleaning and blends with most office decors.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 15 oz (425.24 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
