Middle Atlantic RIB-3-MRK-26 Riser Base

Discover a timesaving, practical solution for pre-installation work in data centers and equipment rooms with the Middle Atlantic RIB-3-MRK-26 Riser Base. Part of the Raised Floor Enclosure System, these 2-1/2" high riser bases empower technicians to complete rough-in procedures before racks and enclosures arrive on site. They also function as a lower cable chase, providing a clean, organized path for cables to travel between racks in multi-bay configurations. Built for durability and designed to streamline installations, the RIB-3-MRK-26 helps you accelerate project timelines without sacrificing reliability or cable management quality.

• Pre-rack rough-in efficiency: The 2-1/2" raised base height enables early cabling tests and trial runs, letting you verify pathways and identify potential issues before equipment arrives.
• Enhanced cable management: Serves as a lower cable chase to route and organize cables between racks, reducing clutter and minimizing the chance of cable damage during subsequent rack installation.
• Durable construction: Built to withstand the demands of busy installation environments, with a robust profile designed to hold up under field use and multi-bay layouts.
• Designed for raised-floor environments: Integrates seamlessly with the Raised Floor Enclosure System, providing compatibility and a cohesive solution for data center and equipment room applications.
• Versatile for multi-bay applications: Ideal for projects that require multiple racks in close proximity, delivering consistent riser height and cable routing across the entire installation.

how to install Middle Atlantic RIB-3-MRK-26 Riser Base

• Plan the layout for your raised-floor installation, determining where each riser base will be placed to align with future rack footprints and anticipated cable paths.
• Prepare the installation area by ensuring a clean, level surface and clear access to the intended rack locations and cross-aisles for cable routing.
• Position each RIB-3-MRK-26 riser base at the designated locations, aligning with the footprint of the future racks to maintain consistent 2-1/2" riser height across the run.
• Route power, data, and signal cabling within the channel provided by the riser bases, using the lower cable chase to organize cables between bays as needed in multi-bay configurations.
• After rough-in, verify cabling paths for clearances and coverage, then proceed with rack installation, ensuring that cables are properly supported and organized as equipment is added.
