Middle Atlantic Ladder END Support Hdwr 6 - CLH-RES-6

Middle Atlantic CLH-RES-6 Cable Ladder End Support Hardware, 6-Pack

The Middle Atlantic CLH-RES-6 is a six-piece end support hardware kit designed to terminate and mechanically secure Middle Atlantic cable ladder runs in structured cabling and AV/security infrastructure installations. Each piece measures 2 in wide × 6.67 in tall × 1.86 in deep and ships with a black zinc coat finish — a finish that resists corrosion in the plenum and above-ceiling environments where cable ladders typically live. If you're closing out a cable ladder segment at a rack, wall penetration, or transition point, this is the hardware that does it correctly rather than leaving raw ladder ends unsupported.

Overview

Cable ladder end support hardware is one of those components that gets ordered at the last minute and causes delays when it's not on the truck. The CLH-RES-6 eliminates that by providing six end support pieces in a single SKU — enough to close out multiple ladder terminations in one order. Middle Atlantic's cable ladder system is a structured approach to horizontal cable management in enterprise AV racks, security head-end rooms, and IDF/MDF spaces. End supports are the mechanical anchor points that keep the ladder from sagging or shifting at termination points, protecting cable bend radius and maintaining a clean, inspectable run. For integrators working with Middle Atlantic cable management systems, ordering end supports as a 6-pack reduces per-unit cost and ensures spares are on hand for future moves, adds, and changes.

Key Features

• 6-Piece Kit per SKU (CLH RES 6): Six end support hardware pieces ship in a single package — useful when you're closing out multiple ladder segments in one installation sweep rather than ordering individual pieces and waiting on separate shipments.
• Black Zinc Coat Finish: Zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in above-ceiling and plenum environments where humidity cycling and airborne particulates are common. The black finish also blends with standard rack and ladder aesthetics in professional installations, which matters in open-ceiling data centers and security control rooms where the infrastructure is visible.
• Compact Footprint — 2 in × 6.67 in × 1.86 in: Each support piece is narrow enough (2 in wide) to fit within tight above-ceiling clearances without adding meaningfully to the ladder's overall profile. The 6.67 in height provides adequate surface area for a secure mechanical connection at the ladder terminus.
• Component Type: Cable Ladder: These supports are purpose-built for Middle Atlantic cable ladder systems — not a generic bracket. Compatibility is precise, which means no field-fitting, no improvised hardware, and no warranty questions from using off-brand components on a structured Middle Atlantic cable management installation.
• Shipping Weight 15 lbs for 6-Pack: The kit ships at 15 lbs, reflecting the solid metal construction of the six pieces. This is hardware with real structural mass — not stamped sheet metal that flexes under load. For planning purposes, factor the hardware weight when calculating ceiling support load ratings for long ladder runs.

Integration & Compatibility

The CLH-RES-6 is part of Middle Atlantic's cable ladder product family and is intended for use with their CLH-series cable ladders. When planning a cable ladder installation, end supports should be specified alongside the ladder segments, mounting brackets, and any splice hardware needed for multi-segment runs. If you're integrating cable ladders into a broader structured cabling or network infrastructure buildout, Middle Atlantic's system approach means components are designed to fit together without modification — a key operational advantage over mixing brands at termination points. For security integrators running camera and access control cabling above ceiling tiles into an IDF or head-end room, cable ladders with proper end support hardware keep cable organized and accessible for future servicing. Pair with appropriate rack systems and cable management accessories to complete the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many end support pieces are included in the CLH-RES-6?

A: The CLH-RES-6 ships as a 6-pack — six individual cable ladder end support hardware pieces per SKU.

Q: What finish does the CLH-RES-6 use, and is it suitable for above-ceiling environments?

A: The CLH-RES-6 features a black zinc coat finish, which provides corrosion resistance appropriate for plenum and above-ceiling environments where humidity and airborne particulates are present.

Q: What are the dimensions of each end support piece in the CLH-RES-6 kit?

A: Each piece measures 2 in (5.1 cm) wide × 6.67 in (16.9 cm) tall × 1.86 in (4.7 cm) deep.

Q: Is the CLH-RES-6 compatible with all Middle Atlantic cable ladder models?

A: The CLH-RES-6 is designed for Middle Atlantic's CLH-series cable ladder system. Verify compatibility with your specific ladder model against Middle Atlantic's cable ladder product documentation before ordering.

Q: What is the shipping weight of the CLH-RES-6 6-pack?

A: The CLH-RES-6 6-pack ships at 15 lbs (6.8 kg), reflecting the solid metal construction of the hardware.

The CLH-RES-6 is the piece most integrators forget to spec until the cable ladder is already mounted and the termination ends are hanging loose. At 6.67 in tall and 2 in wide per piece, each end support gives you a clean, load-bearing terminus that keeps the ladder geometry intact — and the 6-pack format means you're covered for a multi-ladder head-end room buildout without a separate purchase order for every run.

Technical Highlights:

• Black Zinc Coat: Zinc coating is the right call for above-ceiling spaces — it resists the slow corrosion that bare steel develops over years in plenum environments, keeping the hardware structurally sound long after the cables are dressed.
• Compact Profile — 1.86 in Depth: At under 2 in deep, the end support doesn't add meaningful projection beyond the ladder plane, which matters in tight above-ceiling clearances where every inch counts for other trades.
• 6-Piece Pack, 15 lbs Shipped: The 15 lb shipping weight for six pieces tells you these are solid metal components, not stamped sheet stock. That mass is appropriate for a structural termination role on a loaded cable ladder.

Deployment Considerations:

• The CLH-RES-6 is purpose-built for Middle Atlantic's CLH-series cable ladder system — confirm your ladder model designation before ordering to avoid a mismatch at the job site.
• Factor the hardware weight into ceiling support load calculations on long runs, particularly in retrofits where the existing support grid wasn't designed with cable ladder loads in mind.

For security and AV integrators closing out Middle Atlantic cable ladder runs in IDF rooms, security head-end spaces, or open-ceiling data centers, the CLH-RES-6 is the correct bill-of-materials line item — order it with the ladder segments, not as an afterthought.
