Middle Atlantic NM Blank END FTG 2800 FOG - 2810B-FW

Middle Atlantic 2810B-FW Blank End Fitting for 2800 Series Cable Duct

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 2810B-FW is a non-metallic blank end fitting designed to terminate open runs of 2800 Series PVC cable duct with a clean, finished appearance. If you're installing Middle Atlantic cable management raceways and need to cap off an exposed duct end — at a wall entry, panel transition, or run termination — this is the correct piece. It ships in Fog White to match the standard 2800 Series color profile, keeping finished installations visually consistent without requiring paint or field modification.

End fittings like the 2810B-FW are the kind of detail that separates a professional cable duct installation from a rough one. An uncapped duct end exposes cable insulation to abrasion at the lip, creates a snag point for technicians pulling future wire, and looks unfinished in any client-visible space. This fitting addresses all three with a single snap-on component.

Key Features

• 2800 Series Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series duct profile — not a universal aftermarket cap. Using the matched fitting means no gap, no stress on the duct wall, and no need to improvise with tape or filler. If you're running 2800 Series duct, this is the correct termination component.
• PVC Construction: The same polyvinyl chloride material used throughout the 2800 Series. PVC resists the oils, cleaning solvents, and incidental moisture common in rack rooms and cable trays without cracking or discoloring over time — relevant when infrastructure needs to hold up through multiple cable refresh cycles.
• Fog White Finish: Matches standard 2800 Series duct color. In finished office environments, server rooms, and security operations centers where cable management is visible, color continuity matters. Fog White blends with suspended ceiling systems and light-colored wall surfaces common in commercial builds.
• Maximum Cable Diameter 3.2 cm: The 2810B-FW accommodates cable bundles up to 3.2 cm in diameter through the end opening, so you're not forced to split a bundle or remove cables to fit the cap. Size your bundle before ordering if you're close to that limit.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — relevant for federal, state, and municipal projects where TAA compliance is a procurement condition. The 2810B-FW (often searched as 2810B FW) can be specified on government contracts without triggering a compliance flag.
• Single-Piece Pack: Ships as one fitting. Order quantities to match your run count — each duct termination point needs one fitting. For large installations, order in multiples to avoid job-site delays.

Integration & Compatibility

The 2810B-FW is designed exclusively for the 2800 Series non-metallic cable duct from Middle Atlantic. It is not interchangeable with other series (1500, 2000, or 3000) — duct profiles differ and cross-series fittings will not seat correctly. Verify your installed duct series before ordering. For complete 2800 Series installations, pair with the appropriate couplers, inside corners, outside corners, and T-fittings from the same family to maintain a consistent, professional finish throughout the run. Where runs terminate at rack enclosures or patch panels, this end fitting provides the clean entry point that prevents cable jacket damage at the duct lip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 2810B-FW TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 2810B-FW is TAA compliant, making it suitable for federal, state, and municipal projects with Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements.

Q: What cable duct series does the 2810B-FW fit?

A: The 2810B-FW is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic 2800 Series non-metallic (PVC) cable duct. It is not compatible with other Middle Atlantic duct series.

Q: What is the maximum cable diameter the 2810B-FW supports?

A: The fitting accommodates cable bundles up to 3.2 cm in diameter through the end opening.

Q: What color is the 2810B-FW?

A: Fog White — the standard color for 2800 Series duct components, matching typical ceiling and wall installations in commercial environments.

Q: How many fittings come in a pack?

A: One fitting per pack. Order one per duct termination point in your installation.

Q: What material is the 2810B-FW made from?

A: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), matching the material of the 2800 Series duct itself for a consistent and durable installation.

Jerry Tildsen

The 2810B-FW comes up every time we're closing out a 2800 Series duct run and the installer needs a clean termination at a wall penetration or rack entry. It's a small part, but the 3.2 cm maximum cable diameter spec is the one to check before you order — if your bundle is oversized, you're either splitting the bundle or pulling cable before the cap seats, neither of which is a good outcome on a finished job.

Technical Highlights:

• Series-Matched Fit: Engineered for 2800 Series duct specifically — not a generic cap. The profile seats flush without gap or stress on the duct wall, which matters when conduit runs are visible in client spaces.
• PVC Construction: Same material as the parent duct, so there's no thermal expansion mismatch and no color drift over time. In environments where cleaning chemicals are used regularly, PVC holds up where painted metal does not.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed TAA compliant on the 2810B-FW — relevant if you're specifying 2800 Series duct on a government or institutional contract and need every component to clear procurement review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your installed duct is 2800 Series before ordering — Middle Atlantic duct profiles are not interchangeable across series, and a wrong-series fitting won't seat correctly regardless of how close it looks.
• Cable bundle diameter must be under 3.2 cm to pass through the fitting opening cleanly. Measure your bundle before the cap goes on, not after — retrofitting at termination is time-consuming on a finished installation.

The 2810B-FW is the right finishing component for 2800 Series duct runs in security operations centers, server rooms, and any commercial space where cable management is client-visible and TAA compliance is a procurement requirement.
