Middle Atlantic CLB-CSB – Cable Ladder Center Support Bracket

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic CLB-CSB is a cable ladder center support bracket that adds mid-span reinforcement to overhead cable runway in equipment rooms and rack rooms. Built from steel with a black zinc finish, it keeps long ladder runs level and properly supported between wall and rack attachment points. The series is offered in 12-inch, 18-inch, and 24-inch widths to match common cable ladder sizes, with a 6-piece pack available for larger commercial deployments.

Product Description

Overhead cable ladder is only as dependable as its support points, and the CLB-CSB series gives integrators a straightforward way to add center support wherever a run needs it. Each bracket is fabricated from steel and finished in black zinc to match Middle Atlantic cable ladder and rack hardware. The bracket is compatible with most popular ladder brands and accessories, so it can be specified for mixed-vendor cable management installations without special adapters. It works on both new construction and existing installations, which makes it practical for retrofits where additional runway support is required after equipment loads grow. The standard CLB-CSB supports 12-inch wide ladder, while the CLB-CSB-W18 and CLB-CSB-W24 handle 18-inch and 24-inch runway respectively. For volume projects, the CLB-CSB-6 packages six 12-inch brackets for multi-run equipment room buildouts. Pair these brackets with Middle Atlantic cable ladder, rack accessories, and enclosures available from Creation Networks' Middle Atlantic collection to complete a structured cable management plan.
