Middle Atlantic NM Flex Pancake 50FT. 1400 Gray - GR1400-50

Middle Atlantic GR1400-50 Non-Metallic Pancake Overfloor Raceway, 50 ft, Gray

Overview

The Middle Atlantic GR1400-50 is a 50-foot non-metallic pancake overfloor raceway designed to route and protect low-voltage cabling across finished floors without tearing up the surface or creating a tripping hazard. At just 0.63 inches high and 3 inches wide, the GR1400-50 sits nearly flush with the floor — the profile is low enough that foot traffic passes over it cleanly, and the gray finish blends into commercial tile, concrete, and carpet-edge transitions without standing out. This is the right product when you need to cross an aisle, run a camera drop across a hard floor, or extend a data or power circuit where in-floor conduit isn't an option and overhead tray is impractical. For integrators browsing the Middle Atlantic product line, the GR1400-50 fits the same wire management family as surface-mount raceways and cable covers used throughout commercial AV and security installations.

Key Features

• 50-foot continuous run (15.2 m): a single piece covers most aisle crossings, open office runs, and camera-to-switch distances without mid-run splices or coupling hardware — fewer connection points means fewer failure points and a cleaner install.
• Low 0.63-inch profile (1.6 cm): the pancake form factor clears standard door sweeps and transitions without modification, and stays below the threshold where OSHA trip-hazard guidance applies in most commercial applications — confirm with your site's safety officer for high-traffic zones.
• 3-inch interior width (7.6 cm): wide enough to accommodate multiple Cat6 runs, a PoE cable alongside a coax segment, or a bundled low-voltage power and data pair — relevant when you're routing both IP camera feeds and auxiliary power in the same overfloor path. If you're planning a multi-camera IP camera run, verify bundle diameter against the raceway interior before ordering.
• Non-metallic construction: no conduit bender, no metal snips, no grounding considerations — cuts with standard utility tools and installs without the weight or edge hazard of aluminum or steel raceway. Suitable for environments where metal raceways would interfere with RF signals or create a damage risk on polished floors.
• Gray color: matches standard commercial tile grout lines, concrete floors, and cable management systems in data closets and open office environments. If your floor is a different color, confirm against a physical sample before committing to a full run.
• TAA Compliant: meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, which means it qualifies for U.S. federal government and GSA-scheduled projects where TAA compliance is a contract requirement. For government facility integrators, this removes a common procurement blocker. This TAA status is verified for the GR1400-50 SKU specifically.

Integration and Compatibility

The GR1400-50 is designed for low-voltage cable management applications: structured cabling, IP security camera drops, access control wiring, and AV distribution. It pairs naturally with PoE network switches and endpoint devices where the cable run crosses open floor space. For longer infrastructure runs or outdoor-to-indoor transitions, complement it with in-wall or above-ceiling cable management solutions from the same family. Installation requires no special tools beyond a utility knife and double-sided tape or screws depending on floor surface — verify your floor substrate before choosing a fastening method, as adhesive performance varies significantly on polished concrete versus commercial carpet tile. The non-metallic material is compatible with standard low-voltage wiring practices and does not require a separate equipment ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic GR1400-50 TAA compliant for government projects?

A: Yes. The GR1400-50 is verified TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal procurement and GSA-scheduled contracts where Trade Agreements Act compliance is required.

Q: What is the total length of the GR1400-50 raceway?

A: The GR1400-50 is a single 50-foot (15.2 m) continuous piece. No splicing or coupling hardware is needed for runs up to 50 feet.

Q: How tall is the GR1400-50 profile off the floor?

A: The GR1400-50 stands 0.63 inches (1.6 cm) high — a pancake profile designed to minimize trip hazard and clear standard door sweeps without modification.

Q: What types of cable can run inside the GR1400-50?

A: The 3-inch (7.6 cm) interior width accommodates multiple Cat6 runs, coaxial cable, low-voltage power cable, or bundled data and power combinations typical of IP camera and access control wiring. Verify your specific cable bundle diameter fits within the raceway before installation.

Q: Can the GR1400-50 be used with GR1400 50 search variations — is it the same product?

A: Yes. GR1400-50 (often searched as GR1400 50) refers to the same Middle Atlantic 50-foot gray non-metallic pancake overfloor raceway.

Q: What color is the GR1400-50?

A: The GR1400-50 is gray. Confirm against a physical sample if color-matching to a specific floor finish is important for your installation.

Ted Perry

The GR1400-50 is the raceway I reach for when a site has open floor crossings that can't be addressed with overhead tray and the budget or timeline won't support cutting concrete. The 0.63-inch profile is the key number here — at that height you're not fighting door clearances or creating a meaningful trip risk in most commercial environments, and a 50-foot continuous run handles the majority of aisle-crossing camera drops and data extensions without a splice in the middle of the floor.

Technical Highlights:

• 50 ft continuous length: eliminates mid-run couplings on standard aisle crossings — a single piece from switch to camera drop keeps the install clean and reduces the number of potential weak points in the cable path.
• 0.63 in (1.6 cm) height: pancake profile clears most commercial door sweeps and stays below practical trip-hazard thresholds; no floor modification needed on tile or concrete substrates.
• TAA Compliant (verified for GR1400-50): removes the procurement flag on federal and GSA-contracted projects — this matters when you're bidding government facilities work and need every component on the BOM to clear compliance review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Adhesive performance on polished concrete and certain commercial vinyl tile is inconsistent — test your fastening method on the actual floor surface before committing to the full 50-foot run. Mechanical fastening is more reliable on high-traffic paths.
• The 3-inch width is generous for a single camera drop but can get tight once you're routing bundled multi-cable assemblies; measure your cable bundle OD before ordering if you're planning to run more than two or three cables side by side.

Best fit for government facilities, commercial office buildouts, and warehouse camera infrastructure where overfloor routing is the only viable path and TAA compliance is a hard project requirement.
