Middle Atlantic 5410DFO Non-Metallic Radiused Divided Entrance End Cap Fitting
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 5410DFO is a non-metallic radiused divided entrance cap fitting designed for use with the 5400-series raceway system. At 3.5 in (8.9 cm) tall and 7.1 in (18 cm) wide, this ivory-finish end cap terminates and closes off the 5400-series divided raceway runs, delivering a finished appearance at cable entry and exit points. TAA compliance makes the 5410DFO a viable procurement option for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act — no substitution or waiver documentation needed for qualifying government bids. For integrators specifying Middle Atlantic cable management in government facilities, healthcare, or education environments, that single compliance checkbox removes a common bid-qualification friction point.
Key Features
- Radiused Divided Entrance Design: The divided channel interior keeps power and low-voltage signal cables physically separated within the same raceway run — a practical necessity in AV and security installations where mixed cable types share a single pathway. Radiused edges reduce jacket stress at the entry point, which matters on longer pulling runs.
- Ivory Color Finish: The ivory finish coordinates with standard commercial wall and ceiling finishes in healthcare, education, and government interiors — environments where exposed cable management products are expected to blend rather than stand out.
- Non-Metallic Construction: Non-metallic raceway fitting construction eliminates grounding concerns at the termination point and reduces weight compared to metal alternatives, simplifying installation on finished drywall or drop-ceiling grid surfaces.
- TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance on the 5410DFO means this fitting can be specified on GSA Schedule orders and other government contracts requiring domestic or qualifying-country origin without additional sourcing documentation.
- 5400-Series System Compatibility: Designed as a matched component within the Middle Atlantic 5400 raceway family — proportions and profile align with the series so the transition from raceway body to end cap is flush and without gaps.
Integration and Compatibility
The 5410DFO is a mechanical fitting within the Middle Atlantic 5400-series non-metallic raceway system. It functions as a terminus cap for the divided 5400 raceway body. For complete raceway runs, pair with the matching 5400-series straight sections, inside/outside corner fittings, and couplers from the same family to maintain a consistent profile and color match. This fitting is appropriate for surface-mount cable management in commercial interior environments where a finished, professional appearance is required alongside TAA procurement compliance. For broader structured cabling and raceway planning, consult a cable management planning guide to confirm fitting selection for your specific run geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 5410DFO TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 5410DFO carries verified TAA compliance, making it suitable for GSA Schedule procurements and other government contracts that require Trade Agreements Act conformance.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 5410DFO?
A: The 5410DFO measures 3.5 in (8.9 cm) in height and 7.1 in (18 cm) in width.
Q: What color is the 5410DFO?
A: Ivory. This finish is suited for installation in commercial interiors — healthcare, education, government — where raceway components are expected to blend with standard wall finishes.
Q: What raceway series does the 5410DFO work with?
A: The 5410DFO is part of Middle Atlantic's 5400-series non-metallic radiused divided raceway system and is designed to terminate that raceway family as an entrance end cap fitting.
Q: Is this fitting suitable for mixed power and low-voltage cable runs?
A: The divided channel design is intended to keep separate cable types physically isolated within the same raceway — appropriate for installations requiring separation of power and low-voltage signal cables. Always verify local code requirements for your specific application.
I specify the 5410DFO on government facility retrofits specifically because of its TAA compliance — at 3.5 in tall and 7.1 in wide, it fits the 5400-series raceway profile exactly, and having a compliant end fitting means the entire raceway assembly qualifies for GSA procurement without sourcing exceptions.
Technical Highlights:
- TAA Compliance: Verified on this SKU — critical for federal, state, and municipal bids where the entire bill of materials must clear TAA review. One non-compliant fitting can hold up a whole project's paperwork.
- Ivory Finish (7.1 in width): The 7.1 in wide profile in ivory blends into standard commercial ceiling and wall finishes — useful in healthcare and education environments where exposed hardware draws occupant complaints.
- Divided Channel Entry: The radiused divided entrance design physically separates cable types at the cap point — keeps your inspector happy and reduces jacket abrasion on pulls through the fitting.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm you are ordering the correct color SKU before procurement — Middle Atlantic 5400-series fittings are available in multiple finishes, and mismatched end caps on a finished wall are a visible punch-list item.
- Evidence covers only three physical specs for this fitting; verify fitting depth and compatibility with your specific 5400-series raceway body dimensions from the Middle Atlantic product family documentation before committing to a large run quantity.
The 5410DFO is the right terminus fitting for TAA-sensitive commercial raceway installations — specifically healthcare corridors, government offices, and education buildouts where procurement compliance and a finished interior appearance are both non-negotiable.
