Middle Atlantic CLB-10-W18 Cable Ladder Runway 18in. W x 10ft. L Black

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CLB-10-W18 is an 18-inch-wide, 10-foot-long (119 in. nominal) cable ladder runway in black finish — the structural backbone for organizing and supporting cable bundles across open rack bays, equipment rooms, and overhead pathway installations. At 1.5 in. tall, the low-profile rung design keeps bundles accessible for adds and changes without disassembly, which matters in active data centers and AV system racks where cabling evolves over the life of the installation. TAA compliance makes this runway eligible for U.S. government and federally funded projects where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is required. Ships as a single unit (Package Qty: 1); at 30 lbs. shipping weight, plan for two-person handling on ceiling or overhead mounts.

Compatibility

The CLB-10-W18 is part of Middle Atlantic's CLB cable ladder series and is designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic rack infrastructure, including their BGR, ERK, and PTRK open-frame rack and enclosure families. The 18-inch width accommodates standard equipment room pathway widths and pairs with Middle Atlantic's cable ladder support hardware — wall brackets, ceiling hangers, and splice kits from the same CLB accessory line — for continuous runs beyond 10 feet. Verify support bracket spacing against your local code (typically 48–60 in. on center for overhead cable tray) and confirm the CLB splice kit part number for your run length before ordering.

Installation Notes

Runway length is 119 inches (just under 10 ft.) — account for the actual nominal dimension when planning runs end-to-end. The 1.5 in. height clears standard cable tie and Velcro loop anchoring without interference. At 30 lbs. per section, overhead installations require appropriately rated threaded rod or strut channel hangers; do not rely on the ladder itself to bear point loads beyond its cable fill rating. Black powder-coat finish is suitable for finished equipment rooms; verify finish compatibility if the installation environment includes corrosive exposure.
