Middle Atlantic ALA4817 Internal Elbow
Overview
The Middle Atlantic ALA4817 is an internal elbow fitting designed for use within Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and cable management systems. This fitting redirects cable runs at a 90-degree angle inside the rack pathway, preventing sharp bends that would stress conductors or compromise jacket integrity over time — a common failure point in dense, permanently installed AV and security infrastructure. The ALA4817 addresses the specific problem of routing cables through confined interior channels where a direct straight path is not possible.
Compatibility
The ALA4817 is engineered for integration with Middle Atlantic rack systems and their associated cable management product lines. It is intended for use within Middle Atlantic's internal rackmount pathway and enclosure infrastructure. Confirm fit against your specific Middle Atlantic enclosure series and internal pathway dimensions before ordering, as Middle Atlantic produces multiple rack form factors with differing channel geometries.
Installation Notes
Install within the internal cable pathway of the compatible Middle Atlantic enclosure. Route cables through the elbow before terminating to avoid pulling tension through the fitting after installation. Verify that the cable bend radius through the elbow meets the minimum bend radius specification for the cable types being routed — this is especially relevant for fiber optic runs where bend radius violations cause measurable signal loss.
