Middle Atlantic PCD-3-6-45DC 45RU Dual Channel Vertical Cable Duct

The Middle Atlantic PCD-3-6-45DC is a 45RU dual-channel vertical plastic cable duct designed to bring structured, serviceable cable routing to full-height equipment racks. At 3 inches wide, 6.06 inches deep, and 80 inches tall, it spans the full height of a standard 45RU rack enclosure — giving integrators a dedicated pathway to separate power from data runs, reduce cable tangle, and keep the bay accessible for future moves, adds, and changes. If you've ever handed off a rack installation that turned into a cable nest six months later, this is the infrastructure piece that prevents that outcome.

Overview

Vertical cable management is the detail that separates a professional rack build from one that becomes a maintenance liability. The PCD-3-6-45DC mounts vertically alongside rack equipment, channeling cables from top to bottom (or bottom to top) in two discrete lanes — one per channel. The dual-channel configuration lets you physically segregate cable types: run low-voltage data on one side and AC power or higher-gauge runs on the other. That separation isn't just tidy; it reduces EMI crosstalk risk and makes future troubleshooting dramatically faster. Constructed from black plastic, the duct is lightweight enough that it doesn't add meaningful load to the rack structure, yet rigid enough to hold cable bundles in position over the full 80-inch span. Both RoHS and Greenguard certifications are verified for this SKU — relevant for installations in occupied buildings, government facilities, or environments with indoor air quality requirements.

Key Features

45RU / 80-inch height coverage: Matches a standard full-height 45RU rack exactly, so the duct runs end-to-end without gaps or exposed sections. No cutting, no adapters — install and route from the first U to the last.

Dual-channel configuration: Two separate cable lanes in a single 3-inch-wide footprint. Dedicate one channel to structured data cabling and the other to power or video runs, keeping them physically isolated without consuming a second vertical manager slot.
