The Ergotron TRACE Grommet Clamp Kit (98-492-009) provides an alternative mounting option for compatible TRACE monitor arms when a conventional desk-edge clamp is unsuitable. It attaches through an existing or appropriately prepared hole in the worksurface, making it useful for corner desks, desks with closed sides and workstations where access to the desk edge is limited.
Designed for a stable, space-conscious installation, this black mounting kit helps keep the monitor mounting hardware securely positioned while preserving usable desk space. It is a practical accessory for home offices, professional workstations and flexible desk layouts.
Key Features
- Grommet mounting design: Attaches through a suitable hole in the desk surface rather than clamping onto the desk edge.
- Space-saving installation: Supports monitor mounting where conventional edge clamping is impractical.
- Broad surface compatibility: Accommodates suitable mounting holes 8–50 mm wide in worksurfaces up to 65 mm thick.
- Mounting hardware included: Includes the clamp plate, carriage bolt, knob, mounting interface, installation template and attachment hardware.
- Designed for TRACE systems: Compatible with specified Ergotron TRACE monitor mounts.

Compatibility and Installation
Before installation, confirm that your monitor mount is a compatible Ergotron TRACE model and that the desk has a suitable grommet opening. The mounting hole must be between 8 mm and 50 mm wide, and the worksurface must not exceed 65 mm in thickness.
If the desk does not already have a suitable opening, the supplied installation template can help with planning the required opening. Check the manufacturer's installation instructions before modifying the desk surface.
DC Supplies Product Note
This product is a grommet clamp kit, not a complete monitor arm. Please verify your TRACE monitor mount model, desk thickness and mounting-hole dimensions before ordering to ensure a suitable fit.
