how to install Middle Atlantic 40RU Lace Strip with Tie Posts - 4.75in Wide - 6 Piece

• Plan your cable routing by identifying the vertical area where cables will traverse along the rack interior. Determine how many lace-strip sections you will need to cover the desired height and create a clean path for bundle organization.
• Position a lace strip along the inside of the rack’s vertical channel, ensuring alignment with the rack rails and the direction of cable runs. Use the slip-on tie posts to secure the lace strip to the rack as needed, following the preferred mounting method for your cabinet.
• Prepare your cable bundles by pre-wrapping or pre-tabbing them as required. The slip-on posts are designed to facilitate this pre-wrapping process, enabling faster installation and repeatable results across multiple sections.
• Route the bundled cables across the perforated surface of the lace strip, using the holes or perforations to guide and separate runs if needed. Keep bundles tight but not over-compressed to maintain airflow and ease of future adjustments.
• Continue installing additional lace-strip sections as needed to achieve full coverage of the intended rack height. Ensure that all bundles remain accessible for maintenance and that no cables are kinked or pinched during installation.
• Perform a final check for clearance and airflow. Confirm that cables exit cleanly from the lace strips without interfering with doors, fans, or doors and that all posts and sections are securely fastened.
