Middle Atlantic ANGLE-4-36 Floor Support Angle

The Middle Atlantic ANGLE-4-36 Floor Support Angle is a key component of the Raised Floor Enclosure System, designed to streamline installation workflows and improve cable management in multi-rack environments. This solution centers on 2-1/2" high riser bases that set the foundation for field rough-in procedures before racks and enclosures arrive, giving installers a head start and reducing on-site downtime. With its practical design, the ANGLE-4-36 also serves as a dependable lower cable chase, allowing orderly cable passage between adjacent racks in multi-bay configurations. Built to help AV and IT teams stay on schedule, this floor support angle blends reliability with ease of use, turning complex deployments into repeatable, efficient installs.

• Timesaving field rough-in capability: The 2-1/2" high riser bases let technicians begin rough-in work before the full rack or enclosure arrives, accelerating project timelines and minimizing on-site disruption.
• Designed as a practical cable management solution: Doubles as a lower cable chase, enabling neat, organized cable routing between racks in multi-bay applications, reducing tangled runs and simplifying future servicing.
• Versatile raised-floor compatibility: Part of the Raised Floor Enclosure System, providing stable, level support that enhances access and airflow around installed equipment.
• Supports multi-bay installations: Specifically suited for configurations where multiple racks share a common floor plane, promoting clean alignment and streamlined cable pathways across bays.
• Durable, purpose-built engineering: Crafted to meet the demands of professional AV and IT environments, delivering reliable support and straightforward integration with other Middle Atlantic components.

How to install Middle Atlantic ANGLE-4-36 Floor Support Angle

Installing the ANGLE-4-36 Floor Support Angle is a straightforward process designed to complement a staged installation approach. Begin by assessing the area where the raised-floor enclosure system will be deployed and identify the line where racks will be positioned. Position the 2-1/2" high riser bases along the planned rack footprint, ensuring they are evenly spaced and aligned to create a level foundation for future enclosures. Use a spirit level or laser level to confirm horizontal alignment across the risers, adjusting as needed to achieve a true plane. Once the bases are level, anchor them using appropriate fasteners suitable for the floor type in use, following site-specific safety and best-practice guidelines. With the riser bases secured and level, you can begin rough-in work, route the initial cables, and prepare the space for the arrival of racks and enclosures. This staged approach helps technicians verify clearances, optimize cable pathways, and minimize costly rework once full equipment is installed.

As you continue, consider how the ANGLE-4-36 will function as a lower cable chase in a multi-bay environment. Plan cable routes that traverse between bays, leaving ample space for future labeling, maintenance access, and airflow around equipment. When wiring begins in earnest, route cables into the chase with attention to bend radii and separation by cable type to preserve signal integrity and reduce heat buildup. If any adjustments are needed to align bays or re-route cables for maintenance access, the modular nature of the Raised Floor Enclosure System simplifies reconfiguration. Finally, complete the installation by integrating the raised floor sections, ensuring all connections and supports are secure, and re-checking level and alignment to maintain a clean, professional appearance and reliable operation.
