Middle Atlantic VCD-10-45-SC 45SP,10"SGL CBL DCT/DRS

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic VCD-10-45-SC is a 45-space, 10-inch-wide vertical cable duct panel with a swing door, designed for in-rack cable management in high-density AV and IT installations. The VCD series occupies a dedicated vertical bay within a rack system, providing a structured pathway for bundling and routing cables vertically between equipment layers. The 10-inch width accommodates high cable volume, and the swing door allows convenient access for adds, moves, and changes without disturbing adjacent rack equipment.

Product Description

The VCD-10-45-SC is engineered for professional rack systems where cable management volume and accessibility are both critical requirements. At 45 rack spaces tall and 10 inches wide, the duct provides ample routing capacity for large cable bundles including multi-conductor audio, video, data, and power cables in single-rack or adjacent bay installations. The swing door design allows the duct face to be opened fully without removing hardware, enabling fast technician access during installation, commissioning, or post-installation service. The interior of the duct includes cable retention features that hold bundles in place during routing and prevent cable migration under vibration or frequent access cycles. The panel mounts using standard rack hardware and integrates with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and open-frame products. The 45U height makes it compatible with tall rack configurations common in broadcast, control room, and operations center environments. Cable entry points at the top and bottom of the panel allow cables to enter and exit the duct cleanly without sharp bends. The VCD-10-45-SC is finished in black to match the Middle Atlantic rack product line. All mounting hardware is included for installation.
