Middle Atlantic HCT-1 Horizontal Cable Channel
Overview
The Middle Atlantic HCT-1 is a 1 RU horizontal cable channel designed to manage and organize network and AV cabling within standard 19-inch equipment racks. This unit provides 3 inches of depth, creating a dedicated pathway to route cables cleanly between rack-mounted equipment, preventing tangles and improving airflow. It's ideal for installations where cable density requires structured management, such as in server rooms, telecommunications closets, or broadcast facilities. The HCT-1 mounts directly into a 1 RU space, utilizing two mounting points for a secure attachment.
Compatibility
This horizontal cable channel is designed for use within standard 19-inch wide rack systems. Its 1 RU form factor ensures compatibility with virtually any rack enclosure that supports standard rack-unit spacing. It is suitable for use with a wide range of rack-mounted equipment, including network switches, servers, patch panels, and AV distribution gear, where cable management between adjacent or stacked components is necessary.
Installation Notes
The HCT-1 requires standard rack screws (not included) for mounting to the front or rear rails of a 19-inch rack. It occupies a single rack unit (1 RU) of vertical space. The 3-inch depth offers ample room for routing bundles of CAT5e, CAT6, fiber optic, or power cables. Ensure sufficient clearance exists above and below the installed channel for cable entry and exit.
