Maintain clean, professional cable management in your 23RU racks with the Middle Atlantic Vertical Lacing Strips. This 6-pack of perforated steel lacer strips is designed to mount vertically to rackrail brackets, giving you a robust backbone for securing cables with ease. Built for durability and flexibility, these lacing strips are the ideal solution for data centers, video studios, broadcasting facilities, and IT closets where organized cabling translates to faster service, easier maintenance, and improved airflow. Whether you’re tidying up a first-time installation or upgrading an aging enclosure, these strips offer reliable, repeatable performance that helps you stay ahead of clutter and cable chaos.
- Vertical mounting for efficient routing: Perforated steel lacer strips are engineered to mount vertically to rackrail brackets, providing a stable, accessible surface that guides cable runs from top to bottom with minimal interference to front-panel access.
- abundant tie-point locations: The perforations offer many locations for securing cable ties, enabling precise spacing to reduce bend radius and protect delicate cables while keeping bundles neatly aligned along the rackside.
- Cut-to-fit versatility: Lacer strips can be cut down easily to smaller sizes, letting you tailor the length to your cabinet height and specific cable layout without wasted material or complex modifications.
- Integrated tie posts for pre-wrapped bundles: The LACE-OWP and LACE-OP strips feature tie posts that slide on pre-wrapped cable bundles, simplifying organization and ensuring bundles stay connected to the lacing strip as you route them.
- Supports a range of fasteners up to 3/4" wide: These strips accommodate cable ties and up to 3/4" wide fasteners, giving you flexibility in how you secure larger bundles or multiple cables together for a tidy, professional install.

How to install Middle Atlantic 23RU Vertical Lacing Strips with Tie Posts
Installing these vertical lacing strips is a straightforward process that enhances cable management while preserving easy access to equipment. Follow these steps to achieve a clean, scalable cabling layout that remains sturdy over time:
- Step 1: Prepare your rack and identify the mounting location. Open the cabinet or rack, locate the rackrail brackets, and plan vertical alignment where the lacing strips will reside to maximize routing efficiency and minimize obstruction to front-panel access.
- Step 2: Decide on length. If necessary, cut the perforated steel lacing strips to the desired height using appropriate metal-cutting tools. Ensure clean edges to prevent snagging or injuries during handling and installation.
- Step 3: Mount the strips. Align the lacing strips with the rackrail brackets and secure them using the existing mounting hardware or hardware recommended by your rack manufacturer. Verify that the strips sit flush against the rack side and remain parallel to each other for consistent cable routing.
- Step 4: Plan cable routing. Before adding ties, visualize the path of each bundle. Group related cables together and consider airflow, front-to-back routing, and accessibility for maintenance. The perforated design provides plenty of tie points to shape each bundle precisely where you need it.
- Step 5: Secure the bundles. For bundles that use pre-wrapped wraps, slide the bundles onto the tie posts of LACE-OWP or LACE-OP strips, then fasten with cable ties or compatible fasteners up to 3/4" wide. For individual cables, wrap ties around the bundle and anchor them to the perforations to maintain a neat, organized appearance.
- Step 6: Verify consistency and accessibility. Check that all bundles are secure but not so tight that they compress cables. Ensure there is enough clearance for airflow and that cables can be retrieved quickly if service is required. Recheck tie points for even tension and adjust as needed.

One of the best Star Wars comic series of all time.
Format: Kindle
Crimson Empire was the first Star Wars comic that I read. Stories like these are what kept Star Wars alive and fresh during the nearly 20 years between films.
I love the stories about those minor characters that you see in the films. When you saw the Crimson Guard with the Emperor for the first time, you knew there was something fascinating about these guardians of the most powerful being in the universe. This story delves into some of those characters.
The art is fantastic, sort of that stylized 90's colorful art. Awesome battle scenes. It really captures the imagination.
Great story, give it a try. I highly recommend getting a paper copy of this trade.

Top Notch!
Format: Hardcover
A lot of the time when your reading SW books your imagination doesn't quite fill in the gaps that the author leaves. A lot of SW books have little to no detail because they are movie or game based. This is where the top notch illiustrations took this story line to a whole new level! Richardson does a great job on developping the main character. I was very impressed with the quality of the story and blown away with the illustrations. Great read for all!

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss.
The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this!
Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across.
Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too!
Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn.
Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!
