Middle Atlantic CC-44-423 External Vertical Cable Chase Divider
Overview
The Middle Atlantic CC-44-423 is a 44RU external vertical cable management channel designed to route and separate cable runs alongside open-frame and enclosed rack systems. At 4 inches wide and 42 inches deep, the CC-44-423 handles the full vertical height of a 44U rack — 83.13 inches — keeping power, data, and signal cabling organized and physically isolated without consuming internal rack space. Steel construction with a black powder coat finish gives it the durability expected in permanent installations: equipment rooms, telecom closets, and structured cabling environments where long-term cable organization matters more than quick access. If you're managing a growing cable plant behind a Middle Atlantic rack system, a dedicated external chase prevents the tangled-rear-panel problem that makes future maintenance unnecessarily difficult.
Compatibility
The CC-44-423 is engineered specifically for Middle Atlantic MRK, WRK, and VRK series open-frame and enclosed rack enclosures at 44 rack units. The 42-inch depth accommodates MRK, WRK, and VRK configurations ranging from 42 to 43 inches deep — verify your rack's actual depth before ordering, as this chase is not compatible with shallower or deeper cabinet variants. It does not mount to third-party rack brands. For a matching rack enclosure, confirm your base series is one of the three listed; mixing series within a vertical cable management assembly can result in misaligned mounting points. Available for domestic US deployment only — not sold internationally.
Installation Notes
This is an external vertical component, meaning it mounts to the outside of the rack frame rather than occupying internal rack units — no RU real estate consumed inside the cabinet. Steel construction means the unit ships at 37 lbs; plan for two-person installation when positioning alongside a fully loaded rack. Confirm rack frame mounting hole compatibility with the MRK, WRK, or VRK base before starting — the external attachment points are series-specific. No power or data connections are required; this is a passive rack accessory for physical cable routing only.
