Hubbell LCD18 Aluminum Ladder Cable Drop Out 18in.

Overview

The Hubbell LCD18 is an 18-inch wide aluminum cable drop out designed to route and manage cables cleanly within ladder rack systems. This component is critical for maintaining organized and accessible cabling infrastructure, particularly in environments with extensive surveillance or network deployments where cable clutter can impede maintenance and airflow. Its robust aluminum construction ensures durability and longevity in commercial settings. The LCD18 model specifically addresses the need for a wider drop-out point, accommodating multiple cables or larger conduit runs.

Compatibility

This cable drop out is designed for use with standard ladder rack systems commonly found in data centers, telecommunication rooms, and commercial installation sites. It is suitable for routing cables associated with network switches, NVRs, servers, and surveillance cameras. While not specific to a single brand of rack, its 18-inch width makes it compatible with racks that support this dimension for cable egress points.

Installation Notes

Installation involves securing the LCD18 to the side of the ladder rack using appropriate hardware (typically bolts and nuts, sold separately). Ensure the ladder rack is properly grounded before installation. The drop-out opening allows cables to exit the ladder rack pathway cleanly, preventing sharp bends or abrasion. For optimal cable management, pair with cable ties or Velcro straps to bundle cables exiting the unit.
