Middle Atlantic Cnsl Visionline SM AIR S - LH-VLCSHS

Middle Atlantic LH-VLCSHS VisionLine Sit-Stand Command and Control Console

The Middle Atlantic LH-VLCSHS is a height-adjustable 24/7 command and control console from the Lund Halsey VisionLine series — engineered for security operations centers, network operations centers, and dispatch environments where operators work extended shifts and equipment density matters. At 49.5 inches wide with a 26–47 inch height travel range, this console accommodates seated and standing operators without relocating equipment, making it a practical fit for multi-shift SOC and NOC deployments. It ships TAA compliant, which matters for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements.

Key Features

• Height Adjustment Range (26–47 in): A 21-inch travel range covers seated operators at desk height through a full standing position — critical in 24/7 environments where fatigue accumulates. Operators can transition without disrupting monitoring workflows, which directly reduces strain-related errors on long shifts.
• 49.5-Inch Working Width: Wide enough to support dual or triple monitor arms, keyboard drawers, and ancillary control surfaces side-by-side without crowding. At 125.7 cm, this footprint fits standard SOC bay layouts while leaving clearance for adjacent consoles in row configurations.
• 300 lb Weight Capacity: Rated to carry 300 lbs (136 kg) of equipment — multiple large displays, video wall controllers, KVM hardware, and UPS units can all be distributed across the surface and integrated rack space without approaching the structural limit. This matters when specifying for dense video surveillance workstations where monitor count drives weight.
• 3 RU Rack Integration: Built-in 3 RU of rack space keeps rack-mount equipment — patch panels, KVM switches, signal processors — physically integrated at the console rather than on a remote rack. Reduces cable runs, keeps operator-accessed gear within reach, and simplifies the per-station infrastructure footprint in surveillance workstation installations.
• 19-Inch Usable Depth (Rack): The 19 in (48.3 cm) usable rack depth accommodates full-depth 1U and 2U equipment — standard KVM drawers, patch panels, and 1U network switches install without modification or rail extension.
• 39-Inch Total Depth: The 99.1 cm overall depth provides sufficient worksurface depth for dual-tier monitor arrangements while keeping the console footprint manageable in rooms where operator row spacing is constrained.
• Black/Silver/Gray Frame with White Worksurface: The two-tone finish — dark frame, white worksurface — is standard for Federal Ops environments and maps to the LH-VLCSHS (often searched as LH VLCSHS) product line's color scheme. The white worksurface reduces eye strain under task lighting in low-ambient-light control rooms.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance means this console can be procured on GSA Schedule contracts and specified on federal, DoD, and most state/municipal projects without a waiver. For integrators working government SOC buildouts, this removes a common procurement obstacle.
• 209 lb Shipping Weight: At 94.8 kg, plan for two-person installation and verify freight elevator or loading dock access at the deployment site. This is standard for full-steel console furniture of this class.

Integration and Compatibility

The LH-VLCSHS integrates into Middle Atlantic rack and console ecosystems. The 3 RU integrated rack section accepts standard EIA-310 19-inch rack equipment — KVM switches, signal extenders, patch panels, and 1U managed switches all install on standard rails. The console's height-adjustable mechanism is compatible with monitor arm mounting systems that use the worksurface or integrated uprights as anchor points; verify monitor arm weight ratings against total display load when specifying multi-head arrangements.

For technical furniture deployments in access control and video surveillance command centers, the VisionLine series is designed to pair with Middle Atlantic's rack infrastructure, power distribution, and cable management components. The 19-inch usable rack depth and 3 RU capacity handle the common per-station rack load in security operations: a KVM unit, a PoE injector or small managed switch, and a patch panel. For heavier rack requirements, supplemental adjacent rack enclosures from the rack systems category extend capacity without breaking the ergonomic console footprint.

Cable management planning should account for the height-adjustment travel — slack loops or retractable cable guides are necessary for any cables running from the fixed rack section to height-adjustable surface-mounted equipment. This is a standard integration consideration for sit-stand consoles in NOC and SOC furniture installations and should be addressed in the cabling design before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the LH-VLCSHS TAA compliant for federal procurement?

A: Yes. The LH-VLCSHS is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule procurement and federal, DoD, and most state/municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the height adjustment range on the LH-VLCSHS?

A: The console adjusts from 26 inches to 47 inches, providing a 21-inch travel range that accommodates both seated and standing operator positions.

Q: How much weight can the LH-VLCSHS surface and rack section support?

A: The LH-VLCSHS is rated for 300 lbs (136 kg) of total weight capacity, sufficient for multiple large displays, KVM hardware, and integrated rack equipment.

Q: What rack space is built into the LH-VLCSHS?

A: The console includes 3 RU of integrated rack space with 19 inches (48.3 cm) of usable depth, compatible with standard EIA-310 19-inch rack equipment.

Q: Where is the LH-VLCSHS manufactured?

A: The LH-VLCSHS is manufactured in the United Kingdom.

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

A: Width: 49.5 in (125.7 cm); Depth: 39 in (99.1 cm); Height: adjustable 26–47 in. Shipping weight is 209 lbs (94.8 kg).

Marty Allison

The LH-VLCSHS is the console I'd specify for a mid-size security operations center where operator ergonomics and equipment integration both have to be solved at the station level. That 21-inch height travel — 26 to 47 inches — is the real differentiator here. Most fixed-height consoles force you to pick one operator height and live with it; a SOC running three shifts with operators of different builds will see that compromise on every shift change. The LH-VLCSHS eliminates it.

Technical Highlights:

• 300 lb Weight Capacity: At a rated 300 lbs (136 kg), you can load this console with three 27-inch monitors, a KVM switch, a managed switch, and a UPS without approaching the structural limit — that density is typical in video surveillance command stations.
• 3 RU / 19-in Usable Depth: The integrated 3 RU rack section with 19 in (48.3 cm) usable depth keeps per-station equipment physically at the operator position. Standard 1U KVM drawers, patch panels, and signal extenders install without rail extensions or depth adapters.
• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA compliant — this is not a claim to check at procurement; it's confirmed in the product specification. Federal SOC and dispatch center projects on GSA Schedule can specify the LH-VLCSHS without a sourcing waiver.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 209 lbs (94.8 kg) shipping weight, two-person delivery and installation is required — verify elevator and doorway clearances before scheduling the install crew. Do not plan for single-person assembly on a tight timeline.
• The height-adjustable mechanism introduces cable management complexity: any cables running from the fixed rack section to surface-mounted equipment (monitors, keyboards, USB hubs) need slack loops or retractable guides sized for the full 21-inch travel range. Design this into the cabling plan before commissioning, not after.

This console is the right call for a federal or municipal SOC buildout where TAA compliance is non-negotiable, shift coverage spans multiple operator profiles, and the per-station rack requirement is in the 1–3 RU range. It is not the right fit for a static single-operator kiosk where the height-adjustment mechanism adds cost and complexity without benefit.
