- Creates a smooth 90 degree vertical transition in ladder rack systems for elevation changes
- Sized for 18.00 in (457 mm) ladder width; 13.50 in (343 mm) high x 13.50 in (343 mm) wide
- 10-gauge mild steel construction for durable overhead cable routing
- Gradual bend supports minimum cable bend radius, helping protect fiber and high-performance cabling
- Maximum rung spacing of 5.29 in with the rung centered for cable organization and airflow
- Bonding holes allow proper grounding and system continuity
- Black powder coat finish described as GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant
- TAA compliant and manufactured in North America; mounting hardware sold separately
The CLEV18BK is a 90 degree corner vertical elbow for 18.00 in (457 mm) wide cable ladder rack systems. It is intended for IT and telecom integrators, structured cabling contractors and facilities teams who need to take an overhead cable runway up or down to a different elevation without subjecting fiber and high-performance copper to sharp bends.
The elbow is formed from mild steel in 10-gauge construction and finished in black powder coat, a finish the series data identifies as GREENGUARD, TSCA and RoHS compliant. The gradual vertical bend is designed to support minimum cable bend radius requirements, while bonding holes allow proper grounding and electrical continuity to be carried through the pathway. Maximum rung spacing is 5.29 in and the rung is centered, which supports cable organization and airflow through the transition.
Dimensionally, CLEV18BK matches an 18.00 in (457 mm) ladder width and measures 13.50 in (343 mm) high by 13.50 in (343 mm) wide, with a shipping weight of 15 lbs (6.80 kg). The part drawing shows 5.29 in (134 mm) rung spacing, 2.75 in (70 mm) offsets, a 1.50 in (38 mm) side rail profile, .38 in (10 mm) and .75 in (19 mm) detail dimensions, and .22 in (6 mm) diameter holes.
No mounting hardware is included, so splice kits and mounting hardware are specified separately to suit the installation; the series states the system load rating is maintained when used with compatible splice kits. The part is manufactured in Canada, is TAA compliant and USMCA compliant, and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant with ECCN EAR99.
- Applications include data centers, server rooms, telecom rooms and overhead structured cabling pathways.
Ideal For
- Data centers and server rooms
- Telecom and network installations
- Overhead structured cabling pathways requiring vertical direction changes
- Transitioning ladder rack runs up or down between elevations
- Routing cables from overhead runs to different elevations

Frequently Asked Questions
What ladder rack width does CLEV18BK fit?▾
CLEV18BK is built for an 18.00 in (457 mm) ladder width. The CLEV Series is also offered in 6 in, 12 in and 24 in widths to match other ladder rack sizes.
Does CLEV18BK include mounting hardware?▾
No. The drawing notes state that no mounting hardware is included, and the series data confirms mounting hardware is sold separately for flexible system configuration.
How much space does the elbow occupy?▾
It measures 13.50 in (343 mm) high by 13.50 in (343 mm) wide, so allow for that footprint at the point of the vertical transition.
Will the vertical transition protect fiber cabling?▾
The elbow is designed with a gradual vertical bend that supports minimum cable bend radius, helping protect fiber and other high-performance cabling from sharp bends.
Is CLEV18BK suitable for government or TAA-sensitive projects?▾
The part is listed as TAA compliant and USMCA compliant, with country of origin CA and ECCN EAR99, which supports government procurement requirements.
Does the elbow maintain the load rating of the ladder rack run?▾
Yes, the series data states the elbow maintains the system load rating when used with compatible splice kits.
