M-LOK Wire Management

**Rogue7a** · 03-06-19, 16:22

So,
Let me preface this with the fact that I wish were were flush with OCO money and industry was still like a coked out hooker willing to do anything for a buck. (Translation: “I don’t have a formal requirement but it would be cool if”)

That being said, because we are leading to more M-LOK centric systems, why no cable management? At a minimum, something that had routing at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock.

If nothing is to be found seems like a gap in the market has been found. Had I a 3D printer....

Exactly Chief. This is why I referred to Additive Manufacturing (AM) or modifying an existing item and the publishing a Modification Instruction (MI) if it works.

But, if there was someone who had something like Manta does that would work on an M-LOK rail as used on a system akin to ummm I dunno a CSASS maybe that would be interesting.

Sounds like a perfect niche market for Magpul to take stronghold of. I can't imagine it to be too difficult to make a channel for routing cables in their Type 2 MLOK covers.

Rogue, the closest thing to a COTS solution that I know of is this:

Best regards,

ETA: in terms of direct cable management, for MLOK, similar to the Manta system, I’m at a loss as to anything available.

Thanks Mike. But that’s only the Switch and we have plenty of M-LOK options for that. I’ll play with some various M-LOK rail covers at work tomorrow with a dremil and see what I can do.

Probably the best COA given the available options, unfortunately.

That’s not only a switch. It manages the wire too if you look at the details. Depending on your setup, it manages more or less wire.
