Middle Atlantic CLH-SD8 Cable Ladder Side Drop 8 Inch

Product Description

The MIDDLE ATLANTIC - U.S. - LEGRAND CLH-SD8 is an 8-inch cable ladder side drop designed to route and manage cables as they transition from a cable ladder to rack-mounted equipment. It mounts to the side of a cable ladder runway and guides cable bundles downward into the rack, reducing stress on cable jackets and maintaining an organized pathway. This accessory is sold individually and is installed by AV integrators, data center technicians, and structured cabling professionals working on rack and pathway infrastructure.

The CLH-SD8 is suited for commercial and enterprise environments where overhead cable ladder systems feed into open-frame or enclosed equipment racks. It provides a clean, managed drop point for power, data, or signal cabling at the side of the ladder runway. Typical installations include server rooms, broadcast facilities, and AV equipment bays where cable management and serviceability are priorities.

Ensure the cable ladder runway is securely mounted and rated for the intended cable load before attaching side drop accessories. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions for proper attachment to the ladder side rail.
