Middle Atlantic 64-3/4in. in. H4-3/4in. in. W SLT LCR - LACE-37-OWP

Middle Atlantic LACE-37-OWP 37U Vertical Lacing Strip, 6-Pack

The Middle Atlantic LACE-37-OWP is a 37-rack-unit vertical lacing strip designed for structured cable dressing inside open-frame and enclosed rack systems. At 64-3/4 in. tall and 4-3/4 in. wide with a near-flat 0.13 in. depth profile, LACE-37-OWP (often searched as LACE 37 OWP) installs tight to rack channels without consuming usable rack space or obstructing airflow paths. Each order ships as a factory-packaged set of 6 strips — enough to dress both sides of three full racks or one side of six, depending on your cabinet layout. For integrators specifying Middle Atlantic rack infrastructure or building out structured rack cable management systems, this strip is the repeatable, catalog-consistent answer for vertical lace points.

Key Features

• 37 RU / 64-3/4 in. Active Height: Spans the full usable height of a standard 37U rack cabinet — no gap at the top or bottom where cables tend to bunch. Every rack unit has a corresponding lace point, so technicians can dress patch runs, power feeds, and structured cabling at any elevation without improvising with zip-tie anchors.
• 4-3/4 in. Width for Panel-Mount Compatibility: The 4.75 in. width is sized to fit Middle Atlantic rack channel profiles, placing the lacing surface directly adjacent to panel ears without interfering with screw-down or cage-nut mounting hardware. Technicians install adjacent equipment without repositioning the strip.
• 0.13 in. Slim Depth Profile: At roughly 1/8 in. thick, the strip adds negligible depth inside the cabinet. In tight rack-to-wall or rack-to-rack installations where rear cable bend radius is already constrained, this near-zero footprint matters — it won't push cable bundles into sharp bends or reduce the working depth available to 2-post or 4-post rail sets.
• 6 Strips Per Package: Sold as a 6-count pack rather than individually, LACE-37-OWP supports multi-rack deployments without separate per-unit ordering. For a 3-cabinet row fully dressed on both vertical channels, one package covers the project. Procurement teams ordering for larger rollouts can calculate coverage directly from package count.
• Vertical Lacing Geometry: Vertical cable management reduces the horizontal cable stress that accumulates when patch cords drape across horizontal tray edges. Routing cables vertically from the patch field to the horizontal management tray keeps bend radii consistent, simplifies future moves-adds-changes (MACs), and makes cable audits faster — you can follow a run top to bottom without tracing under a horizontal bundle.
• Middle Atlantic Ecosystem Fit: Designed for integration with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and open-frame systems, the LACE-37-OWP follows the same dimensional and mounting conventions as other Middle Atlantic cable management accessories. Mixing lacing strips, horizontal managers, and rack panels from a single product line eliminates fit-check issues during installation and simplifies reorder for spares.

Integration and Compatibility

The LACE-37-OWP is sized for 37U rack systems and pairs naturally with open-frame and enclosed rack cabinets in that RU class. Because vertical lacing strips are passive mechanical accessories — no power, no data path, no firmware — integration is strictly a dimensional and mounting-hardware question. Verify your rack's vertical channel width accepts a 4.75 in. profile before ordering; Middle Atlantic's own enclosure lineup is the confirmed fit reference. For integrators combining this strip with horizontal cable management panels, plan lacing strip placement before populating patch panels so the strip can be seated flush against the rail without obstruction. The slim 0.13 in. depth means the strip can be added to an already-populated rack without removing adjacent equipment in most configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many lacing strips come in a single order of the LACE-37-OWP?

A: Each package contains 6 lacing strips. This is the standard factory pack quantity for the LACE-37-OWP.

Q: What rack unit height does the LACE-37-OWP cover?

A: The LACE-37-OWP covers 37 rack units, with an overall height of 64-3/4 in. (164.5 cm) — designed to span the full usable vertical run of a 37U rack cabinet.

Q: Will the LACE-37-OWP fit in any 37U cabinet, or is it specific to Middle Atlantic racks?

A: The strip is dimensioned for Middle Atlantic rack channel profiles (4.75 in. wide, 0.13 in. deep). While the geometry may be compatible with other manufacturers\' 37U cabinets, fit is confirmed for Middle Atlantic systems. Verify your cabinet\'s vertical channel width before installing in third-party enclosures.

Q: Does the LACE-37-OWP require any tools or hardware for installation?

A: The product evidence does not specify included mounting hardware or installation tooling. Consult the Middle Atlantic installation guide for the correct fastener type and torque spec for your specific rack model.

Q: What is the depth footprint of the LACE-37-OWP inside the rack?

A: The LACE-37-OWP has a depth of 0.13 in. (0.3 cm) — roughly 1/8 in. This slim profile keeps the strip from consuming usable cabinet depth or pushing cable bundles into tight bends behind the panel.

Q: Can the LACE-37-OWP be used in a wall-mount rack or only floor-standing cabinets?

A: The strip is a passive mechanical accessory with no orientation-dependent components, so it can be installed in wall-mount or floor-standing enclosures that match the 37U / 4.75 in. width specification. Structural mounting to the rack channel is independent of cabinet orientation.

When I spec rack cable management for a multi-cabinet AV or security head-end, the vertical lacing strip is one of those line items that looks trivial until you skip it — and then you're tracing a 50-run patch field by hand six months later. The LACE-37-OWP's 0.13 in. depth is the spec I care about most in dense installs: it means I can drop this strip into an already-populated 37U cabinet without displacing gear or fighting for clearance behind the panel ears.

Technical Highlights:

• 37 RU / 64.75 in. span: Covers the full active height of a 37U cabinet in a single piece — no splicing, no gap at top or bottom where patch cords tend to droop and tangle at the cable managers.
• 4.75 in. width: Sized to seat flush against Middle Atlantic vertical channels, keeping the lacing surface at the correct stand-off from the rail face so cable ties clear mounted equipment ears without binding.
• 6-pack factory quantity: One order of LACE-37-OWP dresses both vertical channels of three 37U cabinets — practical for a head-end build with an NVR bay, a patch bay, and a UPS/power bay side by side.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your cabinet's vertical channel accepts the 4.75 in. profile before ordering for non-Middle Atlantic enclosures — the strip is dimensioned to the Middle Atlantic system and may not seat correctly against thinner third-party channels.
• At 0.13 in. depth, the strip is not structural — it is a lacing guide, not a cable trough. For high-density fiber or large-diameter bundle runs, pair it with a dedicated vertical cable trough that provides physical support; the lacing strip handles dressing and organization, not load-bearing.

The LACE-37-OWP is the right call for integrators building a repeatable, auditable cable plant in a Middle Atlantic 37U head-end room — security operations centers, network closets, and AV equipment rooms where the cabinet will be touched repeatedly by different technicians over its service life.
