Middle Atlantic PN10F86FW Nonmetallic Drop Ceiling Connector
Overview
The PN10F86FW is a nonmetallic drop ceiling connector from Middle Atlantic's PN10 series, designed to secure and route conduit or cable pathways at the ceiling interface in rack and cabinet installations. Nonmetallic construction avoids galvanic corrosion concerns in mixed-metal ceiling grid environments and eliminates conductivity risk where electrical isolation is a priority — relevant in IT closets and AV equipment rooms where grounding continuity across the ceiling structure is not guaranteed. If you're completing a Middle Atlantic overhead cable management run into a drop ceiling grid, the PN10F86FW provides the purpose-built termination point rather than a field-improvised fitting.
Compatibility
Designed for use within the Middle Atlantic PN10 series rack and cabinet accessories ecosystem. Pair with PN10 series cable management channels, spine rails, and overhead pathway components. Consult the PN10 series configuration guide to confirm fit with your specific overhead management layout — Middle Atlantic's modular pathway system uses matched connectors at each transition point, and substituting off-series fittings typically results in misaligned mounting geometry.
Installation Notes
Nonmetallic material means no bonding jumper is required at this fitting under standard low-voltage installation practice, but verify with your local AHJ if the installation falls under conduit fill rules for plenum spaces. Confirm ceiling grid T-bar dimensions before ordering — drop ceiling connectors are grid-profile-specific and the PN10F86FW is sized for the PN10 series interface, not a universal fit across all grid types.
