The Ergotron TRACE Slim Profile Clamp Kit (98-490-216) is a desk-mounting accessory designed for compatible Ergotron TRACE monitor mounts. Its compact profile keeps the clamp close to the worksurface, helping maintain a clean, organized appearance in offices, shared workspaces, and home offices.
Designed for desk edges measuring 12–32 mm thick, this white clamp kit is particularly suitable for height-adjustable desks and certain benching configurations where the rear of the monitor-mount assembly remains visible. Its top-access installation approach helps simplify fitting without requiring access beneath the desk.
