Middle Atlantic Cnsl Visionline MED S - LH-VLCMS

Middle Atlantic LH-VLCMS VisionLine 24/7 Command and Control Console

Overview

The Middle Atlantic LH-VLCMS is a medium-width, 24/7-rated command and control console from the Lund Halsey VisionLine series — built for security operations centers, public safety dispatch rooms, and surveillance control environments where operators work extended shifts and equipment density matters. At 63 inches wide with a 6 RU rack bay and a 275 lb verified weight capacity, this console is sized for a single operator station running multiple monitors, a rack-mounted NVR or encoder stack, and associated control peripherals without compromise.

The LH-VLCMS (often searched as LH VLCMS) ships with a Black/Silver/Gray frame and a White worksurface — a combination common in federal operations and law enforcement environments where visual contrast between the worksurface and equipment aids operator efficiency during prolonged use. Country of origin is the United Kingdom, reflecting Lund Halsey's heritage manufacturing base. Note: this model is not TAA compliant, which is a disqualifier for federal procurements subject to the Trade Agreements Act — verify your agency's requirements before specifying.

For broader context on the Middle Atlantic technical furniture and AV infrastructure catalog, the VisionLine series sits at the purpose-built end of the spectrum — designed specifically for 24/7 manned environments rather than general office or conference room use.

Key Features

• 63-inch Width (160 cm): Wide enough to accommodate a three-monitor array plus keyboard/mouse deck and side reference materials — the practical minimum for a full-featured single-operator control station. Tighter 48-inch consoles force monitor stacking or angle compromise; at 63 inches you get flat, parallel screen placement without encroaching on adjacent stations.
• 6 RU Integrated Rack Bay: Six rack units built into the console body lets you mount a compact NVR, patch panel, or KVM switch directly at the operator position — reducing cable runs, eliminating under-desk equipment, and keeping critical gear within arm's reach for fast swap-outs. Pair with a network video recorder to complete the station build.
• 275 lb Weight Capacity: At 275 lbs rated load, this console handles dense monitor arrays — three 27-inch professional displays, a rack-mounted NVR, and a UPS — without flex or structural concern. The 253 lb shipping weight of the console itself tells you this is heavy-gauge steel construction, not sheet-metal furniture.
• 19-inch Usable Depth (48.3 cm): The 19-inch usable worksurface depth is the correct clearance for a standard ergonomic monitor setback (roughly 20–28 inches from operator eyes to screen center). Combined with the 39-inch total cabinet depth, there's room for rear cable management and equipment service access without pulling the console from the wall.
• 26-inch Working Height (66 cm): Fixed at 26 inches — within ADA and BIFMA ergonomic sit-work standards for console stations. This is not a height-adjustable model; if your facility requires sit-stand capability for ADA accommodation or multi-operator shift handoffs, specify the height-adjustable variant in the VisionLine family instead.
• Black/Silver/Gray Frame with White Worksurface: The two-tone finish — dark frame, white worksurface — reduces visual fatigue during long monitoring shifts (dark surrounds lower ambient glare on screens) while maintaining the clean, professional appearance required for command centers with public-facing or executive visibility.
• 253 lb Console Weight: The 253 lb self-weight confirms all-steel structural construction. Budget for two-person installation with appropriate dollies — this is not a one-person job. Floor load calculations for raised-floor data center or modular building deployments should account for both console weight and full rated payload (253 + 275 = up to 528 lbs at full capacity).
• United Kingdom Country of Origin: Lund Halsey consoles are manufactured in the UK. Lead times may differ from domestically manufactured alternatives — confirm availability and ship dates for time-sensitive deployments, particularly for large multi-station SOC buildouts. As noted, this SKU is not TAA compliant.

Integration and Compatibility

The LH-VLCMS integrates into any security operations workstation environment where standard 19-inch rack equipment is deployed. The 6 RU bay accepts any EIA-standard rack equipment — NVRs, KVM switches, patch panels, fiber termination panels, and UPS units up to 6U height. The 19-inch usable worksurface depth is compatible with standard monitor arms and VESA mounting accessories, allowing integrators to configure monitor height and tilt independently of the console surface.

For multi-station SOC deployments, the VisionLine series is designed to butt-join adjacent consoles cleanly — verify corner and filler panel availability in the Middle Atlantic VisionLine accessory catalog for continuous runs. When planning network infrastructure for the control room, ensure sufficient PoE and data ports are provisioned at each station position, as rack-mounted switches in the console bay are a common configuration.

Review your surveillance system planning guide to align console count and rack capacity with your NVR channel load and monitor-per-operator requirements before finalizing the station count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic LH-VLCMS TAA compliant?

A: No. The LH-VLCMS is not TAA compliant per manufacturer specifications. Federal agencies and contractors subject to Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements should verify compliance needs before specifying this model.

Q: Is the LH-VLCMS height adjustable?

A: No. The LH-VLCMS is a fixed-height console set at 26 inches (66 cm). If sit-stand or height-adjustable capability is required for ADA compliance or multi-operator use, a different model in the VisionLine series should be specified.

Q: What is the weight capacity of the LH-VLCMS?

A: The LH-VLCMS is rated for 275 lbs (124.7 kg) of equipment load. This covers dense monitor configurations, rack-mounted NVRs, and UPS units typical of a full single-operator control station.

Q: How many rack units does the LH-VLCMS provide?

A: The console includes a 6 RU integrated rack bay, accepting standard 19-inch EIA rack equipment up to 6 rack units in height.

Q: What are the overall dimensions of the LH-VLCMS?

A: Width: 63 inches (160 cm); Depth: 39 inches (99.1 cm); Height: 26 inches (66 cm). Usable worksurface depth is 19 inches (48.3 cm).

Q: Where is the Middle Atlantic LH-VLCMS manufactured?

A: The LH-VLCMS is manufactured in the United Kingdom, reflecting Lund Halsey's heritage production base. Confirm lead times with your supplier for time-sensitive deployments.

When I spec the LH-VLCMS for a control room build, the number I keep coming back to is the 275 lb rated load — that's the real constraint that determines what you can actually put on and in this console. With the 6 RU rack bay plus a three-monitor surface array, you'll typically land between 180 and 240 lbs of equipment on a fully loaded station, which gives you real headroom before you're threading the needle on structural limits.

Technical Highlights:

• 6 RU Rack Integration: Six rack units at the operator position means a compact NVR (typically 1–2U), a KVM switch (1U), and a patch panel (1U) all fit without a separate rack column — cleaner cable runs, faster operator response to hardware faults.
• 63-Inch Width: At 160 cm, this console fits a true three-monitor primary array without angling screens — parallel screen placement is a documented factor in reducing operator error during high-event-rate monitoring periods.
• 19-Inch Usable Depth: The 48.3 cm usable depth accommodates standard monitor arms with proper setback clearance and still leaves room for rear cable egress — you're not fighting for space between the display base and the rack bay opening.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 253 lbs shipping weight, plan for a two-person installation with furniture dollies and verify door clearances on the delivery path — particularly in older buildings with narrow corridors leading to the control room.
• This model is fixed at 26 inches and is not TAA compliant — both are disqualifiers for certain federal and state agency procurements. Confirm requirements before the console is on a PO.

The LH-VLCMS is the right console for a new-build or refresh of a manned 24/7 security operations center or public safety dispatch room where a single operator needs integrated rack capacity, a wide monitor array, and furniture-grade construction — and where federal procurement compliance is not a hard requirement.
