Middle Atlantic FWD SM DEV Side Clmp 60PK - FWD-SIDECLMP-60

Middle Atlantic FWD-SIDECLMP-60 Forward Small Device Side Clamp 60-Pack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FWD-SIDECLMP-60 is a 60-piece bulk pack of side clamps engineered for the Middle Atlantic Forward series small device mounting system. If you're deploying Forward-based rack and AV infrastructure across multiple rooms, equipment closets, or rack bays, buying these clamps in a 60-pack eliminates the constant reorder cycle that slows down multi-bay installations. Each clamp is finished in Pantone 3015 blue — a deliberate color choice that makes Forward system hardware instantly identifiable during installation and future maintenance, reducing the chance of mixing incompatible hardware from other mounting families.

Manufactured in the USA, the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 is a practical procurement choice for federal, government, and TAA-sensitive projects where country-of-origin documentation matters. The pack ships at 1.08 lbs (0.5 kg) for the full 60-count, keeping freight costs negligible even when ordering multiple packs for large-scale rollouts.

Key Features

• 60-Count Bulk Pack: Deploying a multi-bay or multi-room Forward system means you'll need clamps in volume. Buying 60 at once avoids per-unit reorders that drag out installation timelines — particularly relevant on commercial AV or security rack buildouts where dozens of small devices need securing per project.
• Pantone 3015 Blue Color Coding: The consistent blue finish isn't cosmetic — it's a field-identification standard. Technicians returning for moves, adds, or changes can immediately distinguish Forward system hardware from other rack components, reducing mis-installation and service errors in dense rack environments.
• USA Country of Origin: Manufactured domestically, which satisfies TAA compliance requirements for federal procurement and simplifies origin documentation on government contracts. If your project has Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or TAA clauses, this hardware qualifies without sourcing exceptions.
• Designed for Forward Small Device Mounting: These clamps are purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic Forward small device mounting platform — not a generic clamp adapted for the application. Using the correct OEM hardware maintains the mechanical integrity and serviceability of the Forward system as designed.
• Lightweight Shipping Profile: At 1.08 lbs for a 60-pack, you can ship multiple packs in a single box without triggering freight-class thresholds — a minor but real cost factor on large project bills of materials.
• UPC Labeled for Inventory Control: Each pack carries a UPC, which matters when you're managing project inventory through a procurement or WMS system. Scanning in hardware on arrival and reconciling against purchase orders is faster when every component is properly labeled.
• International Availability: Available for international shipping, relevant for integrators managing cross-border deployments or supporting multi-country enterprise rollouts from a single procurement source.

Integration and Compatibility

The FWD-SIDECLMP-60 (often searched as FWD SIDECLMP 60) is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic Forward product line's small device mounting configurations. If you're building out a Forward-series rack system, pair these clamps with the appropriate rack mounting hardware and Forward rails to complete the assembly. For larger device mounting within the Forward ecosystem, verify clamp sizing against the specific Forward mounting accessory spec — side clamps for small devices are not interchangeable with those rated for larger equipment.

For integrators building out complete rack infrastructure, these clamps are a line-item component on any rack systems project BOM. Order quantity against your per-bay clamp count before the installation date — sourcing a partial pack mid-project is an avoidable delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 designed to mount?

A: These are side clamps for the Middle Atlantic Forward series small device mounting system. They are intended for use with Forward-platform mounting hardware, not as a universal rack clamp.

Q: Is the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 made in the USA?

A: Yes. The Federal Ops Country of Origin is listed as USA, making it suitable for TAA-compliant and federal procurement projects.

Q: How many clamps are included in the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 pack?

A: The pack contains 60 individual side clamps.

Q: What color are the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 clamps?

A: Pantone 3015 blue — consistent with the Middle Atlantic Forward series color coding for field identification.

Q: Can the FWD-SIDECLMP-60 be shipped internationally?

A: Yes, this product is available for international shipping.

Q: What does the pack weigh for shipping purposes?

A: The 60-pack ships at 1.08 lbs (0.5 kg).

The FWD-SIDECLMP-60 is the kind of hardware that only becomes visible when you run out of it mid-install. Sixty clamps in a single pack is the right buy quantity for any multi-bay Forward system buildout — at 1.08 lbs shipped for the full 60-count, there's no freight penalty for stocking ahead, and the Pantone 3015 blue finish means a returning tech three years later will immediately know what they're looking at inside the rack.

Technical Highlights:

• 60-Pack Quantity: Right-sized for commercial rack buildouts — 60 clamps covers multiple bays in a single order, eliminating mid-project reorders that delay commissioning.
• USA Manufacture: Country of Origin documentation is pre-cleared for TAA and federal procurement without exception requests — a real time-saver on government-funded security and AV projects.
• Pantone 3015 Blue: Color-coded to the Forward system standard, so hardware identification during service calls is immediate — no label-hunting in a crowded rack.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your Forward rail and mounting platform is rated for small device clamps before ordering — these are not sized for larger Forward-series device categories; mixing clamp sizes within the Forward family causes fitment issues.
• Stock these before the installation date; the 60-count doesn't leave buffer room if your bay count is high — calculate clamps-per-bay against your BOM and order a second pack if the project scope is over 20 bays.

The FWD-SIDECLMP-60 belongs on the BOM of any multi-room enterprise AV or physical security rack project built on the Middle Atlantic Forward platform — particularly federal and municipal installations where USA origin and UPC-labeled inventory tracking are procurement requirements.
