Middle Atlantic VCD-6-51-SC 51SP,6"SGL CBL DCT W/DR

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic VCD-6-51-SC is a 51-space, 6-inch-wide vertical cable duct panel with a swing door, designed for organized vertical cable management in tall AV and IT rack installations. The 51U height accommodates the tallest rack configurations in professional environments, while the 6-inch duct width provides a defined routing pathway for moderate cable volume bundles in a space-efficient form factor. The swing door enables technician access for adds, moves, and changes without requiring hardware removal or disruption to adjacent rack equipment.

Product Description

The VCD-6-51-SC is engineered for professional rack systems where vertical cable organization must be maintained across tall enclosures in space-constrained bay configurations. At 51 rack spaces in height and 6 inches in width, the duct is suited for installations where a narrower profile is needed while still providing a structured vertical pathway for audio, video, data, and signal cabling. The swing door design provides full frontal access to the duct interior without removing any hardware, enabling fast and clean cable management during installation, commissioning, and post-installation service. Cable entry and exit points at the top and bottom of the panel allow cables to transition smoothly from horizontal equipment connections to vertical duct routing without sharp bends or pinch points. The interior features cable retention provisions to hold routed bundles in position under normal installation conditions and vibration. The panel mounts using standard rack hardware and integrates with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and compatible open-frame systems. The VCD-6-51-SC is finished in black to match the standard Middle Atlantic rack product line. All mounting hardware is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the VCD-6-51-SC compare to the VCD-10-45-SC?

The VCD-6-51-SC is 6 inches wide and 51U tall, making it suited for taller racks where a narrower duct bay is available. The VCD-10-45-SC is 10 inches wide and 45U tall, providing greater cable volume capacity in a slightly shorter configuration.

Is the swing door hinged on both sides?

The swing door is hinged on one side. Refer to the product installation guide for hinge orientation options available at time of installation.

Will this panel work in non-Middle Atlantic racks?

Yes. The VCD-6-51-SC uses standard rack mounting hardware and is compatible with any EIA-310 compliant rack system of sufficient height and bay width to accommodate the 6-inch-wide panel.

Where can I purchase the VCD-6-51-SC?
