Middle Atlantic LACE-G – GRK Vertical Lacing Strip, 6-Pack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic LACE-G Series is a family of 1-inch wide steel vertical lacing strips engineered for GRK Series broadcast racks. Each pack includes six lace bars, giving integrators enough vertical cable management hardware to dress both sides of a rack and intermediate runs in a single line item. Four lengths are offered to match GRK rack heights: 40RU (70 in.), 44RU (77 in.), 48RU (84 in.), and 52RU (91 in.). Lacing strips are the foundation of clean, serviceable cable management in broadcast and commercial AV rack builds.

Product Description

Vertical lacing strips give technicians a fixed, full-height anchor for tying off cable bundles inside the rack, keeping signal, control, and power wiring organized from the top of the rack to the bottom. The LACE-G Series is purpose-built for Middle Atlantic GRK Series racks, so each strip length corresponds directly to a GRK rack height: choose LACE-G40-1P for 40RU racks, LACE-G44-1P for 44RU, LACE-G48-1P for 48RU, and LACE-G52-1P for 52RU enclosures.

Each strip is 1 inch wide and made of steel, providing a rigid lacing surface that holds cable ties and lacing cord under the loads typical of dense broadcast and AV integration work. Dressing cables to lacing strips rather than letting bundles hang on connectors reduces strain on terminations, improves airflow through the rack, and makes moves, adds, and changes faster during the life of the system. Because each pack contains six pieces, a single SKU typically covers a full rack's vertical cable management plan, simplifying procurement for multi-rack commercial deployment. The LACE-G Series installs inside GRK racks alongside rackrail, lacer bars, and other Middle Atlantic accessories available in the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which racks are LACE-G lacing strips compatible with?
The LACE-G Series is designed for Middle Atlantic GRK Series broadcast racks. Middle Atlantic offers other LACE families for its other rack lines, so match the lace series to your rack series.

How do I choose the right length?
Match the strip to your rack height: LACE-G40-1P for 40RU (70 in.), LACE-G44-1P for 44RU (77 in.), LACE-G48-1P for 48RU (84 in.), and LACE-G52-1P for 52RU (91 in.) GRK racks.

How many strips do I need per rack?
Each pack includes six pieces. Most integrators dress at least one strip per cable path — commonly both rear corners plus additional intermediate strips for power and signal separation — so one pack typically covers a full rack.

How are cables attached to the lacing strips?
Cable bundles are secured to the 1-inch steel bars with cable ties or traditional lacing cord, keeping bundle weight off connectors and maintaining separation between signal and power runs.

Do lacing strips help with airflow and thermal management?
Yes. Dressing cables to the sides of the rack keeps the center of the enclosure open, which supports front-to-rear airflow around heat-producing AV and broadcast equipment.

Is the LACE-G Series covered by a warranty?
Yes. Middle Atlantic rack accessories are backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current terms and replacement support.

Can Creation Networks help me spec a complete GRK rack build?
Yes. Our team assists integrators and facility engineers with GRK racks, rackrail, lacing hardware, and power across the full Middle Atlantic line.
