Panduit LD5IG6-A Pan-Way® Single Channel Surface Raceway
The Panduit LD5IG6-A is a 6-foot single-channel surface raceway designed for routing, protecting, and concealing low-voltage data, voice, and video cabling in commercial installations. The one-piece hinged design with integrated latching cover allows cables to be laid in quickly without disassembly, while factory-applied adhesive backing eliminates the need for drilling in many applications. At 1.01" W × 0.58" H (25.8mm × 14.7mm), the LD5 profile accommodates Cat 5e/6/6A patch cables, coax, and fiber runs where surface mounting is required or preferred over in-wall routing.
Key Features
- One-piece hinged latching design — cables lay in without removing cover or disassembling channel
- Factory-applied adhesive backing for fast installation on drywall, wood, or painted metal surfaces
- 1.01" × 0.58" (25.8mm × 14.7mm) interior cross-section accommodates multiple Cat 6A cables or hybrid low-voltage runs
- 6-foot length minimizes joints and reduces installation time on typical wall runs
- Rigid PVC construction provides impact resistance and long-term cable protection
- International Gray finish blends with commercial office, healthcare, and light industrial environments
- TIA/EIA compliant for structured cabling systems up to 50V
- UL94V-0 and FT4 rated for flame resistance in plenum-adjacent and general building applications
Installation is straightforward: peel the factory-applied adhesive liner and press the raceway firmly onto clean, dry surfaces. The hinged cover snaps open along the length of the channel, allowing cables to be laid in without threading. Once cables are positioned, the cover latches closed with audible confirmation. For corners and intersections, the LD5 system includes matching fittings (sold separately) — inside/outside corners, tees, and couplings — that maintain the clean one-piece appearance. Surface mount outlet boxes terminate the run and provide jack mounting for Panduit Mini-Com or standard keystone modules. The adhesive backing is suitable for permanent installations on drywall, finished wood, painted steel, and most commercial wall coverings; for high-vibration or outdoor-adjacent environments, supplemental mechanical fasteners (screws through the base) are recommended.
The LD5IG6-A's 1.01" width and 0.58" depth strike a balance between cable capacity and low-profile appearance. A single channel can route two Cat 6A cables, four Cat 5e/6 cables, or a hybrid bundle of Ethernet, coax, and fiber with room for future adds. The rigid PVC construction meets UL94V-0 flame rating and FT4 vertical burn requirements, making it code-compliant for installation within 5 feet of plenum return-air spaces in most jurisdictions (verify local AHJ requirements). TIA/EIA standards compliance ensures the raceway does not degrade Category-rated cable performance when bend radius and fill limits are observed. International Gray is a neutral tone that coordinates with commercial office furniture systems and blends on white, beige, or light gray walls.
The LD5 raceway series is widely deployed in retrofit IP security and AV installations where in-wall fishing is impractical or cost-prohibitive — server closet-to-IDF runs, perimeter camera drops in finished lobbies, conference room AV cable dressing, and healthcare patient-room data outlets. The 6-foot length ships in cartons of 120 pieces (package quantity of 6 per inner pack), simplifying large-scale rollouts. Panduit's Pan-Way® raceway line has been an integrator standard for low-voltage surface routing since the 1980s, with broad accessory compatibility and consistent availability through distribution. For projects requiring concealed routing with the flexibility of surface mount, the LD5IG6-A delivers a fast, clean, and code-compliant solution.
