Middle Atlantic NM Flex Pancake 10FT Pieces (50FT Total) - BR1400-10

Middle Atlantic BR1400-10 Non-Metallic Pancake Overfloor Raceway

Overview

The Middle Atlantic BR1400-10 is a low-profile, non-metallic overfloor raceway designed to route and protect cables across finished floor surfaces without trenching, conduit work, or raised flooring. Each piece covers 10 ft (3.1 m), and this listing ships five pieces for a total of 50 ft of coverage — enough to run a single cable path across most mid-size conference rooms, reception areas, or security operations centers in one order. The BR1400-10 (often searched as BR1400 10) suits environments where a clean, code-acceptable cable crossing matters more than pulling wire through walls.

Key Features

• Low 0.63-in Profile: At just 0.63 in (1.6 cm) tall, this raceway presents a minimal trip hazard compared to taller round cord covers. In high-foot-traffic areas like lobbies or retail floors, the flat pancake geometry reduces the chance of a catch-and-fall incident while still fully enclosing routed cables.
• 3-in Wide Channel: The 3 in (7.6 cm) interior width accommodates multiple cables side-by-side — practical when running both a PoE camera drop and a separate alarm or access control cable along the same path rather than making two separate crossings.
• Brown Colorway: The brown finish blends with commercial carpet and wood-tone flooring common in office and hospitality environments, reducing visual disruption in customer-facing spaces where a grey or black cover would stand out.
• Non-Metallic Construction: The NM body eliminates grounding concerns and avoids the corrosion risk of metallic raceways in humid or high-cleaning-traffic areas such as healthcare corridors and food service environments.
• TAA Compliant: The BR1400-10 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement where TAA compliance is a contract requirement.
• 10-ft Sections, 50-ft Total: Shipping in 10-ft pieces rather than one monolithic length simplifies transport and allows runs to turn corners or transition between rooms with standard coupler fittings — no cutting a single long piece in a parking lot.

Integration & Compatibility

The BR1400-10 is part of Middle Atlantic's non-metallic raceway line. Standard NM raceway couplers, elbows, and end caps from the same family connect individual 10-ft sections and handle directional transitions. Verify fitting part numbers against the Middle Atlantic catalog before ordering — the BR1400-10 is sized for the 3-in-wide NM pancake system specifically, and fittings from other raceway widths will not mate correctly. For runs requiring wall transition or entry into a rack or enclosure, pair with the matching cable management accessories from the same series. Where the installation also involves PoE cameras or network drops running to an NVR, plan the raceway route before camera positions are finalized — retrofitting a raceway path after cameras are mounted is significantly more disruptive than routing it during rough-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the BR1400-10 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The BR1400-10 is confirmed TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for U.S. government and federally funded projects where TAA compliance is required by contract.

Q: How many feet of raceway does this listing include?

A: This listing includes five 10-ft pieces for a total of 50 ft of raceway. Each individual section is 10 ft (3.1 m) in length.

Q: What are the dimensions of the BR1400-10?

A: The BR1400-10 is 3 in (7.6 cm) wide, 0.63 in (1.6 cm) tall, and each piece is 10 ft (3.1 m) long.

Q: What color is the BR1400-10?

A: Brown. This finish is designed to blend with commercial carpet and wood-tone flooring in office, hospitality, and professional environments.

Q: Can the BR1400-10 sections be joined together for longer runs?

A: Yes. Standard Middle Atlantic NM raceway couplers and fittings from the same product family connect individual 10-ft sections. Verify the correct coupler and elbow part numbers against the Middle Atlantic NM raceway accessory line before ordering.

The BR1400-10 comes up regularly on jobs where the cable path can't go in the wall — tenant improvement restrictions, leased floors where you can't core, or a last-minute camera add after construction closed out. The 0.63-in height is the number that matters most: low enough that most AHJs and facility managers accept it as a pedestrian-safe crossing, which keeps the install from getting kicked back.

Technical Highlights:

• 0.63-in Pancake Profile: At 0.63 in tall, this sits flat enough to avoid flagging trip-hazard reviews in most commercial occupancies — a meaningful difference from round cord covers that exceed 1 in at center.
• 3-in Channel Width: The 3-in interior handles a PoE cable plus a secondary run (access control, alarm, or a second camera drop) side by side, avoiding a second raceway crossing on the same path.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed TAA-compliant — if your project has a federal or state contract requirement, this clears that gate without a substitution request.

Deployment Considerations:

• Plan the full 50-ft run against your actual path before cutting — the 10-ft sections join with couplers, but mid-section cuts waste material and create weak points if the cut end isn't capped properly.
• Brown is the only colorway available in this SKU. If the floor is light-colored tile or concrete, the brown finish will be visually prominent — verify the color is acceptable to the facility manager before ordering.

The BR1400-10 is a practical fit for tenant-space camera additions and access control retrofits in office and hospitality environments where wall penetrations are off the table and the floor finish is carpet or wood-tone laminate.
