Panduit LD5IW6-A Pan-Way® LD5 Single Channel Surface Raceway

The Panduit LD5IW6-A is a 6-foot, single-channel surface raceway engineered for low-voltage cabling installations where in-wall routing isn't feasible or cost-effective. Part of the Pan-Way® product line, this one-piece latching raceway combines integrated cover, factory-applied adhesive backing, and a hinged design that lets you lay in data, voice, video, and low-voltage control cabling without threading. The 1.01" × 0.58" (26mm × 15mm) channel handles Cat5e/Cat6 horizontal runs, fiber jumpers, and AV cabling in commercial retrofits, concrete-wall buildings, and ADA-compliant surface-mount installations. Constructed from rigid off-white PVC with UL94V-0 flame rating and TIA/EIA compliance up to 50V, the LD5IW6-A delivers code-compliant, clean-finish cable concealment for integrators working in offices, schools, healthcare, and mixed-use facilities.

Key Features

• One-piece latching design with integrated cover — no separate clips or trim pieces
• Factory-applied adhesive backing for tool-free mounting on drywall, wood, metal, and painted surfaces
• Hinged cover allows cables to be laid in without threading from the end
• 1.01" W × 0.58" H (26.0mm × 15.0mm) internal channel capacity
• 6-foot length reduces the number of splice points in horizontal runs
• Rigid PVC construction with off-white finish matches standard commercial wall color
• UL94V-0 and FT4 flame ratings meet commercial building fire codes
• TIA/EIA compliant for applications up to 50 volts
• Compatible with Panduit Mini-Com® surface mount boxes and LD-series fittings

The LD5's one-piece hinged architecture streamlines installation on retrofit projects where cutting into drywall or chasing conduit through masonry isn't viable. The factory-applied adhesive backing bonds to most clean, dry surfaces — drywall, painted metal studs, wood trim, even powder-coated server rack sides — eliminating the need for anchors, screws, or cable staples that mar finished walls. You simply measure, cut to length with a hacksaw or PVC shear, peel the backing liner, press the channel into place, and snap the hinged cover closed over your cables. The latch holds securely under normal handling but can be reopened for adds/moves/changes without tools. This makes the LD5 ideal for conference-room buildouts, open-office desk runs, and ADA-height device installations where you're surface-mounting a card reader, phone, or wireless access point and need a code-compliant pathway back to your telecom room or local switch. The 1.01" width is wide enough for two Cat6 cables side by side or a Cat6 run alongside a 12V power pair, while the 0.58" depth keeps the profile low enough to avoid snagging or visual dominance on painted walls.

Integrators deploy LD5 raceway in environments where in-wall routing is cost-prohibitive or impossible: historic buildings with plaster-over-brick walls, tilt-up concrete warehouses, retrofit access-control projects in occupied tenant spaces, and educational facilities where you're adding IP cameras or door controllers to existing classrooms without opening walls during the school year. The off-white PVC finish blends with standard commercial paint, and the continuous latching cover keeps cables concealed and protected from incidental contact. Because the channel is rated for up to 50V, you can combine low-voltage data (PoE switch to camera), copper phone pairs, building-automation control wiring, and even low-voltage LED driver feeds in a single run, provided total circuit voltage stays within spec. The 6-foot length is sized to minimize mid-run splices — most wall-to-desk or desk-to-wall runs fall within a single stick, and longer horizontal pathways can be joined with LD-series inline couplers (sold separately) to maintain a clean, continuous appearance.

The LD5IW6-A meets UL94V-0 flammability and FT4 flame-spread standards, making it compliant with IBC and NEC Article 800 requirements for low-voltage cable routing in commercial occupancies. It terminates cleanly into Panduit's Mini-Com® surface mount boxes, LD-series elbows, tees, and end caps, giving you a complete ecosystem for professional-grade surface installations. For security integrators running access-control homerun cables in a hospital corridor, AV installers routing HDMI and control lines in a boardroom, or IT teams adding PoE drops in an open-plan office, the LD5IW6-A provides fast, code-compliant, repeatable cable concealment that looks intentional rather than improvised — exactly what the job requires when in-wall isn't an option.
