Overview

The nVent LEK12W (SKU LEK12W) is a white steel Runway Elevation Kit designed to provide a 12-inch (305 mm) vertical separation for cable runway systems. Manufactured by nVent, this kit allows for the stacking of any width of ladder rack runways, optimizing vertical space in data centers, industrial facilities, and telecommunications environments. Constructed from heavy-plated steel with a white finish for corrosion resistance and visibility, the LEK12W ensures durability and longevity. Each kit includes two complete stacking brackets and all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation. This elevation kit is ideal for applications requiring clear pathways, cable segregation, or accommodation for future expansion. By elevating ladder rack runways, users can achieve improved airflow, simplify maintenance, and reduce the risk of cable damage. The 12-inch elevation is particularly useful for creating distinct layers of cable management, such as separating power from data cabling or providing ample space for cooling solutions. Key features include a significant 12-inch elevation, universal compatibility with any ladder rack width, durable heavy-plated steel construction, and a protective white finish. The kit's comprehensive contents and straightforward installation make it a practical and effective solution for structured and scalable cable management.
  • The Cable Runway Elevation Kit elevates ladder rack 3 or 6 inches (76 or 152 mm) above the rack-to-ladder mounting plate
  • This kit can be used on any width ladder rack
  • The kit includes two brackets and all mounting hardware necessary
  • Includes two stacking brackets and all necessary mounting hardware.
  • Optimizes vertical space and improves airflow for cable management.

How to Install the LEK12W Cable Runway Ladder Rack System

This guide provides instructions for installing the LEK12W cable runway ladder rack system. Please refer to the product's nameplate or datasheet for specific ratings, dimensions, voltages, strip lengths, torques, or ranges.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Measuring tape, Level, Drill, Wrench set, Safety glasses

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (e.g., bolts, nuts, washers), Cable runway sections, Support brackets, Splice kits

  1. Plan the Layout

    Determine the desired path for the cable runway. Measure the total length required and identify mounting points. Ensure the path avoids obstructions and meets all installation requirements. Consult the datasheet for any specific clearance or load-bearing guidelines.

  2. Install Support Structures

    Install the necessary support structures (e.g., ceiling supports, wall brackets, triangle supports) at the planned mounting points. Use appropriate hardware for the mounting surface. Ensure all supports are level and securely fastened. Refer to the specific support kit instructions for detailed mounting procedures.

  3. Assemble Runway Sections

    Connect individual cable runway sections using the appropriate splice kits (e.g., Butt Splice Kit, Junction Splice Kit). Follow the instructions provided with the splice kit to ensure a secure and continuous runway. Ensure all connections are tight and aligned.

  4. Mount the Cable Runway

    Attach the assembled cable runway sections to the installed support structures. Use the provided hardware to secure the runway to the supports. Ensure the runway is level and stable throughout its length.

  5. Install Accessories (if applicable)

    Install any necessary accessories such as radius drops, end caps, or termination kits according to their specific instructions. These components help manage cable bends and protect the runway ends.

  6. Final Inspection and Cable Loading

    Perform a final inspection of the entire installation to ensure all components are securely fastened and the runway is properly aligned. Once confirmed, cables can be carefully loaded onto the runway. Do not exceed the weight capacity specified on the product's nameplate or datasheet.
