Middle Atlantic 45 Space Wire Grid Lace 6IN. W 1 Piece - LACE-WB6-45

Middle Atlantic LACE-WB6-45 Vertical Wire Grid Lace Panel

Overview

The Middle Atlantic LACE-WB6-45 is a 45U vertical inside wire grid lace panel designed for structured cable management inside standard equipment racks. At 78.84 inches tall and 6 inches wide, this single-piece panel spans the full height of a 45-space rack enclosure, giving integrators a dedicated, organized pathway for power and data cabling without the mess of ad-hoc tie-wrap solutions. If you're building out a rack-mounted security or AV system and want clean, serviceable cable runs from top rail to bottom, this is the component to reach for.

Part of Middle Atlantic's cable management line, the LACE-WB6-45 (often searched as LACE WB6 45) mounts inside the rack as a vertical inside component — positioned between your equipment and the rack rail to keep bundle routing predictable and accessible at every RU position.

Key Features

• 45 RU Vertical Span (78.84 in / 200.3 cm): Covers the full interior height of a 45-space rack in a single piece — no splicing, no misaligned segments, no gap in your cable pathway at mid-rack where splices typically fail or shift over time.
• 6-Inch Width: The 6 in (15.2 cm) panel width accommodates medium-to-high cable density bundles. For lighter runs, this width provides extra room to separate power from data — a practical consideration in any rack where EMI coupling between AC power and low-voltage signal cables is a concern.
• Minimal Depth Footprint (0.38 in / 1 cm): At just under half an inch deep, this panel adds virtually no depth penalty inside the rack. In shallow or space-constrained enclosures, that margin matters — you preserve usable depth for equipment rather than surrendering it to the cable management structure itself.
• Single-Piece Construction: One continuous panel across the full 45U eliminates the alignment tolerances, seam gaps, and hardware count that come with multi-piece lacing solutions. Fewer parts to inventory, fewer fasteners to source, faster installation in the field.
• Vertical Inside Component Type: Engineered specifically for inside-rack vertical routing — distinct from finger ducts or horizontal panels. Wire grid construction allows cable access from multiple angles and accommodates varied bundle diameters without forcing cables into a fixed channel geometry.
• Wire Grid Format: Open grid structure means you can visually trace individual cable runs after installation, which matters during moves, adds, and changes. Closed-duct designs require partial disassembly to identify a single cable; grid format does not.

Integration and Compatibility

The LACE-WB6-45 is designed for use within Middle Atlantic rack enclosures but is broadly compatible with standard 19-inch rack installations where vertical inside cable management is needed. It fits full-height 45U rack enclosures and is appropriate for security system racks housing NVRs, PoE switches, patch panels, and access control panels — anywhere organized vertical cable routing improves serviceability. Integrators running high-density PoE switch wiring or mixed power and data bundles will find the 6-inch width particularly useful for physical separation of cable types within the same vertical run.

For racks with heavier cable density or where cable segregation is critical, consider pairing this panel with horizontal cable management accessories at the top and bottom of the rack to transition bundles cleanly from the vertical lace into horizontal pathways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack size does the LACE-WB6-45 fit?

A: The LACE-WB6-45 is designed for 45U rack enclosures. Its height of 78.84 inches (200.3 cm) corresponds to a full 45-space rack interior.

Q: Is this a single piece or a kit of multiple panels?

A: This is a single-piece panel — one continuous wire grid lace that spans the full 45U height. No splicing or multi-segment assembly is required.

Q: How deep is the LACE-WB6-45?

A: The panel depth is 0.38 inches (1 cm), so it adds minimal depth inside the rack and preserves usable equipment depth.
