Middle Atlantic CLH-ELS-13/18 Cable Ladder Elevation Kit
Overview
The Middle Atlantic CLH-ELS-13/18 is a cable ladder elevation kit designed to transition cable ladder runs between different heights within a rack or structured cabling pathway. The 13-inch rise accommodates common elevation changes between adjacent rack sections or between a ladder run and an overhead tray, while the 18.4-inch width matches standard Middle Atlantic cable ladder widths — keeping cable bundles organized and supported through the transition rather than bending unsupported across a drop or rise. This kit belongs to the Middle Atlantic cable management line and is the correct choice when your horizontal cable ladder infrastructure needs a vertical offset without breaking into a separate, unsupported segment.
Compatibility
The CLH-ELS-13/18 is sized for Middle Atlantic CLH-series cable ladder systems with an 18-inch nominal width. Pair it with CLH straight sections, horizontal bends, and tees of matching width to complete a continuous supported pathway. Consult the CLH series configuration guide to confirm rung spacing and splice hardware requirements before ordering — elevation kits require compatible splice plates at each junction to maintain structural continuity across the transition.
Installation Notes
The kit ships at 6 lbs, which is typical for a single elevation section; plan rack or overhead support accordingly at the transition point, as unsupported spans beyond manufacturer guidelines can deflect under full cable load. Width is 18.4 inches (46.7 cm) — verify clearance in the cable tray pathway before installation, particularly in ceiling spaces with conduit or HVAC obstructions. No torque specs or special tooling data are present in the available evidence; follow Middle Atlantic's CLH installation guide for splice plate fastener requirements.
