Middle Atlantic AL2018 External Elbow Aluminum
Overview
The Middle Atlantic AL2018 is an external elbow fitting machined from aluminum, designed to manage cable exits and directional transitions on Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and equipment infrastructure. The AL2018 addresses the practical problem of routing cables cleanly out of an enclosure without sharp bends that stress conductors or compromise jacket integrity — a common issue in dense AV, security, and IT rack builds where cable dress affects long-term reliability and serviceability.
Compatibility
The AL2018 is part of Middle Atlantic's rack accessory line. For confirmed compatibility with specific enclosures, rack series, or cable management panels, cross-reference the AL2018 part number against the Middle Atlantic Middle Atlantic product catalog or your enclosure's documentation. Middle Atlantic rack systems and rack accessories are the intended application family — verify the enclosure model and knockout dimensions before ordering.
Installation Notes
Aluminum construction keeps the fitting lightweight and corrosion-resistant, appropriate for both equipment room and light commercial environments. As with all external elbow fittings, confirm the mounting aperture size on your enclosure matches the AL2018 thread or knockout specification before installation. No additional tools beyond standard hand tools are typically required for elbow fitting installation, but verify torque requirements against any applicable Middle Atlantic installation guide for your enclosure series.
