Middle Atlantic NM Fiberready Int. Elbow - 5517FO

Middle Atlantic 5517FO NM FiberReady Internal Elbow Fitting

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5517FO is a non-metallic, bend-radius-preserving internal elbow fitting designed for the 5500-series full-capacity raceway system. It redirects cable runs at interior corners while maintaining the minimum bend radius required for fiber optic cable — a critical constraint that standard 90° fittings routinely violate, causing attenuation or physical damage to glass-strand media. Use the 5517FO wherever a 5500-series run transitions at an interior wall corner in structured cabling, AV, or security backbone deployments. The ivory finish matches the standard 5500-series raceway color palette.

Compatibility

The 5517FO is designed for use within the Middle Atlantic 5500-series non-metallic raceway and cord cover system. It is specifically engineered for full-capacity interior elbow transitions in that product family. It is not interchangeable with 5500-series external elbow fittings or fittings from other raceway series. Verify raceway channel width and fitting series before ordering — dimensional compatibility across NM raceway families is not guaranteed.

Installation Notes

This fitting is TAA-compliant, making it suitable for federal, state, and government-funded infrastructure projects where TAA-compliant cable management components are required across the bill of materials. Install in accordance with the 5500-series cable management assembly guidelines; fiber-rated elbow fittings depend on correct seating against the raceway body to enforce bend radius — do not force-fit or modify the elbow geometry. No tools beyond standard snap-fit installation are typically required for NM raceway fittings in this series.
