Panduit LD3WH10-A Pan-Way LD3 10-Foot Single Channel Surface Raceway
The Panduit LD3WH10-A is a 10-foot single-channel surface raceway designed for commercial integrators who need to route, protect, and conceal low-voltage data, voice, video, and fiber optic cabling in retrofit or new construction. The one-piece latching design with integrated hinged cover eliminates the need for separate mounting clips, and factory-applied adhesive backing speeds installation on drywall, painted surfaces, and other substrates. White PVC finish blends into office, classroom, retail, and healthcare environments where exposed conduit would detract from aesthetics. Meets TIA/EIA structured cabling standards and is rated for applications up to 50 volts.
Key Features
- One-piece hinged channel with integrated latching cover — no separate clips or fasteners required
- Factory-applied adhesive backing for fast surface mounting on drywall, painted walls, and clean substrates
- 0.77" W × 0.46" D internal channel cross-section accommodates Cat6/6A, fiber, coax, and AV cabling
- 10-foot continuous length minimizes joints and maintains clean aesthetic in hallway and perimeter runs
- Rigid PVC construction with White finish for unobtrusive appearance in commercial interiors
- Compatible with full Pan-Way LD fitting line — elbows, tees, couplers, and surface mount boxes
- UL94V-0 flame rating and FT4 vertical flame test compliance for plenum-adjacent routing
- Meets TIA/EIA structured cabling standards for up to 50-volt low-voltage applications
- Bend radius control fittings available to maintain cable performance per manufacturer specs
The LD3 raceway profile measures 0.77 inches wide by 0.46 inches deep (19.6 mm × 11.7 mm), providing sufficient cross-sectional area for bundled Cat6A, fiber trunk cables, and AV signal runs while maintaining a low-profile footprint on wall surfaces. Rigid PVC construction resists impact and UV degradation in interior environments, and the non-metallic design eliminates grounding requirements and interference concerns for sensitive data cabling. The hinged cover snaps closed with an audible click and can be reopened for adds, moves, and changes without tools. White finish is factory-applied and UV-stable, eliminating the need for field painting. Each 10-foot length ships with protective end caps; installers cut to length with standard PVC saws or cutters.
Factory adhesive backing is a pressure-sensitive formulation rated for drywall, painted gypsum, wood, and most commercial wall surfaces. Surface preparation requires only cleaning with isopropyl alcohol; no mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives are needed for typical installations. For heavy cable loads or high-traffic areas subject to impact, supplemental mechanical fasteners (screws or anchors) can be added at 24-inch intervals. The LD3 raceway integrates with Panduit's full Pan-Way fitting line, including 90-degree flat elbows, inside/outside corners, tee fittings, and end caps. Surface mount boxes (sold separately) terminate raceway runs and provide device mounting for keystone jacks, fiber adapters, and AV connectors. Typical applications include conference room build-outs, classroom AV deployments, retail POS cabling, healthcare nurse station retrofits, and office desk-to-wall cable drops where in-wall fishing is cost-prohibitive or structurally impractical.
UL94V-0 flammability rating qualifies the LD3 raceway for installation in plenum-adjacent spaces where cable jackets alone may not meet local fire codes. FT4 vertical flame test compliance demonstrates controlled flame propagation characteristics required by Canadian electrical codes and many U.S. municipal authorities. TIA/EIA structured cabling standard compliance ensures the raceway does not introduce bend radius violations or compression points that would degrade Cat6A or fiber performance. Panduit specifies bend radius control fittings (part of the LD accessory line) for 90-degree turns in high-performance data networks. The LD3 profile is part of a three-size raceway family (LD3, LD5, LD10) sharing a common fitting platform, allowing integrators to standardize on one manufacturer's ecosystem for material consolidation and consistent aesthetics across multi-building campuses.
