Middle Atlantic Eclipse PN10 Latching Raceway Fitting - PN10L08V

Middle Atlantic PN10L08V Eclipse PN10 Latching Raceway Fitting

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PN10L08V is a single-channel, 8-foot latching raceway fitting from the Eclipse PN10 series — purpose-built for clean, low-profile signal cable management in commercial AV, security, and structured wiring installations. At 1-11/16 in wide and 13/16 in tall, this non-metallic ivory raceway keeps low-voltage signal runs organized and out of sight against walls or baseboards without the bulk of metal trunking. The snap-on cover and adhesive mounting mean faster deployment with fewer tools — a real advantage when you're routing camera or access control wiring across finished surfaces where drilling is undesirable.

The PN10L08V sits within the broader Middle Atlantic cable management line, a portfolio known in the integration community for consistent fit and finish across its raceway families. If you're specifying signal runs for a multi-zone deployment, this fitting pairs naturally with compatible PN10 couplings, elbows, and cover accessories in the same Eclipse series.

Key Features

• 96-Inch (8 ft) Run Length: A single length covers most standard wall spans between outlet boxes or junction points — fewer couplings, fewer seams, and a cleaner finished appearance on longer runs in corridors or open-plan spaces.
• 1-11/16 in Wide × 13/16 in Tall Channel: Sized for signal cable management — low-voltage data, camera, access control, and intercom wiring fits without crowding. This is not a power trunking raceway; keep mains-voltage conductors in a separate pathway.
• Single-Channel Configuration: One dedicated cable pathway simplifies routing and keeps signal runs isolated, which matters in environments where cross-talk or physical separation of cable types is a concern during inspection or troubleshooting.
• Snap-On Latching Cover: The cover seats firmly without fasteners and can be re-opened for adds, moves, or changes without damaging the base — an important practical detail when you're adding camera drops or access control readers to an existing installation over time.
• Adhesive Mounting: No drilling required for installation on smooth finished surfaces. This speeds up deployment on drywall, glass partitions, or tile — and is the right method when surface penetrations need to be avoided (leased spaces, historic buildings, or finished reception areas).
• Non-Metallic Construction: Eliminates grounding concerns and avoids the corrosion risk that comes with metallic raceways in humid or coastal environments. Non-metallic material also makes field cutting straightforward with a standard miter box or fine-tooth saw.
• Ivory Color: Blends with standard commercial wall finishes — appropriate for office lobbies, retail floors, and healthcare reception areas where white or off-white surfaces dominate and exposed conduit would draw attention.

Integration & Compatibility

The PN10L08V is part of Middle Atlantic's Eclipse PN10 raceway family. For complete runs, pair this fitting with PN10 series couplings to join lengths end-to-end, inside/outside corner fittings for directional changes, and entry fittings where cable transitions from in-wall or conduit into the raceway. The adhesive mounting base is compatible with most smooth, clean, painted drywall, plaster, and hard-surface substrates — surface prep (clean, dry, free of dust and oils) is the most common install variable that affects long-term adhesion. For installations requiring screw mounting instead of adhesive, verify whether a screw-mount variant in the Eclipse PN10 family fits your substrate before ordering this SKU.

This raceway fits into a structured wiring and rack infrastructure deployment alongside Middle Atlantic's broader equipment rack and cable management portfolio. When planning multi-room camera or access control wiring, use a cable management planning guide to size raceway channel fill correctly — overfilling a single-channel raceway is the most common cause of cover-seating problems in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable types can be routed in the PN10L08V?

A: The PN10L08V is rated for signal cable management — low-voltage wiring including camera (coax, Cat5e/6), access control, intercom, and data cables. It is not designed for mains-voltage power conductors. Keep power and signal runs in separate pathways per code.

Q: Does the PN10L08V require drilling to install?

A: No. The PN10L08V uses adhesive mounting, so no drilling is required on smooth finished surfaces. Surface prep — clean, dry, oil-free substrate — is critical for adhesion reliability. Screw mounting is not a listed option for this SKU.

Q: Can I cut the PN10L08V to a shorter length on site?

A: Non-metallic raceway of this type is field-cuttable using a fine-tooth saw or miter box. Cut the base and cover separately for a clean square end. Verify your saw kerf against your target length before cutting.

Q: How do I extend a run beyond 96 inches?

A: Use Eclipse PN10 series coupling fittings to join two or more lengths end-to-end. Multiple PN10L08V fittings connected with couplings give you a continuous channel for longer runs.

Q: Is the PN10L08V suitable for outdoor or wet locations?

A: The evidence does not list an environmental or wet-location rating for this fitting. It is designed for interior commercial signal cable management. For outdoor or damp-location runs, verify a wet-rated raceway product before specifying this SKU.

Q: What color is the PN10L08V and will it match my wall finish?

A: The PN10L08V is ivory — a warm off-white that blends with standard commercial painted drywall and plaster finishes. For white or other color requirements, check whether the Eclipse PN10 series offers alternate color SKUs.

Jerry Tildsen

The PN10L08V is what I reach for when a client wants signal cable runs to disappear into finished wall surfaces without a drywall crew on site. The 96-inch single-channel base with adhesive mount is a real time-saver — no core drilling, no anchors, no touch-up paint — and the snap-on latching cover means you can come back six months later and add a camera drop without destroying the install.

Technical Highlights:

• 96-Inch Length: One stick covers the distance between most wall boxes in standard commercial bay layouts — minimizes coupling count and gives a cleaner visual line on long corridor runs.
• Snap-On Latching Cover: Re-openable without tools or damage — the right design for phased deployments where cable adds are expected after initial installation.
• Non-Metallic Construction: No grounding requirements and field-cuttable with basic hand tools; eliminates the corrosion concern in HVAC-adjacent or humid interior spaces.

Deployment Considerations:

• Adhesive bond strength is entirely surface-dependent — on painted drywall that hasn't fully cured or on textured surfaces, adhesive failure is your most likely callback. Prime the surface, wipe with IPA, and let it flash before pressing the base.
• This is a single-channel, 1-11/16 in wide raceway — sized for signal cable only. Don't try to route Class 1 power conductors alongside low-voltage in this channel; it's not rated for it and you'll fail inspection.

The PN10L08V is the right specification for interior finished-space deployments — corporate office camera retrofits, retail floor access control wiring, and healthcare corridor signal runs — anywhere aesthetics matter and adhesive-mount installation keeps the job clean and on schedule.
