Ergotron TRACE Desktop Monitor Mount Matte Black
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron TRACE Desktop Monitor Mount Matte Black (45-630-224) - 15 Years Local Warranty
Constant Force Lift for a Single 21.5″ to 38″ Display
The Ergotron TRACE Desktop Monitor Mount carries one display from 21.5″ to 38″ weighing 6.5 to 21.5 lbs (2.9 to 9.8 kg), which places 34″ and 38″ ultrawides comfortably inside its working range. Patented Constant Force™ Technology paired with a linear guide system means the screen moves with a fingertip through 11″ (28 cm) of lift and then simply stays where you put it — no tension knobs, no drift, no re-tightening six months in.
240° of Pan for Shared Desks and Hot-Desking
Where most monitor arms give you 180°, TRACE pans a full 240°, tilts 80° and rotates 360° between portrait and landscape. That extra sweep is what makes it work in Singapore's benching and hot-desk layouts: swing the screen to a colleague, turn it to face a client across the desk, or push it right back against a partition at the end of the day. Reach extends 15″ (38.1 cm) and retracts flat when you need the desk back.
Reclaim the Desk in a Compact Singapore Office
Lifting the display off its factory stand returns the whole footprint of that base to the work surface — a meaningful gain in the compact desks common to CBD offices, co-working suites and HDB home offices. Integrated cable management runs the display and power cables along the arm and out of sight, so the desk stays clear and cleaning underneath takes seconds.
Built and Certified to Last 15 Years
TRACE is tested to 15,000 cycles and carries Ergotron's premium 15-year manufacturer warranty — the longest term Ergotron offers on any monitor mount. It is certified BIFMA level® 2 and Clean Air GOLD, which matters for corporate fit-outs, government tenders and green-building submissions where product certification has to be evidenced. Award-winning design (Good Design®, iF Design) keeps it looking deliberate rather than industrial.
Matte Black Finish for Modern Workspaces
The matte black finish keeps fingerprints and glare down and sits quietly against dark desks and monitor bezels. If your fit-out calls for a lighter palette, the identical mount is available in white as 45-630-216.

Compatibility & Fit
The Ergotron TRACE Monitor Mount carries one display from 21.5″ to 38″ weighing 6.5 to 21.5 lbs (2.9 to 9.8 kg). Both ends of that range matter: the Constant Force lift is counter-balanced, so a display lighter than 2.9 kg will not load the mechanism correctly, and anything above 9.8 kg exceeds the rating.
Mounting is via the two-piece desk clamp supplied in the box. Ergotron also offers a Slim Profile Clamp and a Grommet Mount as separate accessories if your desk edge or grommet layout suits those better — part numbers are listed in the Package Contents section below. Ergotron does not publish a desk-thickness figure on the TRACE product sheet, so if your desktop is unusually thick or has a lipped or reinforced edge, send SourceIT a photo and measurement before ordering and we will confirm the right clamp.
VESA fit: VESA MIS-D, covering the 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm hole patterns used by the great majority of business monitors. Displays with a non-standard or recessed rear housing may need the monitor maker's own VESA adapter plate — check the monitor's spec sheet.
Ultrawide and curved displays: the 38″ ceiling and 240° of pan make TRACE a natural fit for 34″ and 38″ ultrawides, which is where the single mount is most often specified. Curved panels mount normally provided the VESA pattern is standard and total weight stays within 9.8 kg. Very deep displays and heavy all-in-one chassis should be weighed first — the published figure is for the screen as mounted, brackets included.
Number of screens: one. If you need two displays on a TRACE, order the TRACE Dual Monitor Mount outright, or add the TRACE Dual Bow Conversion Kit (47-110-224) to an installed single mount.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ergotron TRACE Monitor Mount
What is the difference between the matte black and white finishes?
Nothing mechanical. 45-630-224 Matte Black (this listing) and 45-630-216 White are the same mount with the same capacity, lift, tilt, pan, rotation and extension — only the finish differs. Choose by desk and room colour. Note that the Slim Profile Clamp accessory is finish-matched (98-490-216 white, 98-490-224 matte black), while the grommet mount is offered in matte black only.
What size and weight of monitor does the TRACE take?
Ergotron rates it for a display of 21.5″ to 38″ weighing 6.5 to 21.5 lbs (2.9 to 9.8 kg). The minimum is as important as the maximum on a counter-balanced arm — a very light panel will not sit properly on the lift. Ergotron notes the screen size is a guide: you may exceed it as long as the weight stays inside the rating.
Can I run two monitors on this mount?
Not as supplied — this is a single-display mount. Two routes to dual: buy the TRACE Dual Monitor Mount (45-631) from the outset, or add the TRACE Dual Bow Conversion Kit (47-110-224) to a mount you already own. The dual configuration reduces the maximum screen size per display to 27″.
How does it attach to the desk, and will it fit a thick desktop?
The two-piece mounting clamp in the box clamps to the rear edge of the desk. Ergotron also sells a Slim Profile Clamp and a Grommet Mount for desks where the standard clamp is awkward. Ergotron does not publish a desk-thickness limit for TRACE on its product sheet, so for thick, lipped or reinforced desktops — and for most hot-desk benching systems — send SourceIT the measurement and we will confirm which clamp to order.
Do I need a VESA adapter?
Usually not. The quick-attach bracket covers VESA MIS-D, meaning 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm. Monitors that publish no VESA pattern, or that recess the pattern behind a curved housing, may need the display manufacturer's own adapter plate.
Is it suitable for sit-stand working?
Yes, within its 11″ (28 cm) of lift. The Constant Force mechanism moves the screen with a fingertip and holds position without knobs, so it tracks you comfortably across a seated range or on top of a height-adjustable desk. For a full sit-stand range from a fixed desk, look instead at Ergotron's sit-stand desk arms.
How does TRACE compare with the Ergotron LX or MXV desk arms?
TRACE is Ergotron's design-led mount: 240° of pan, a linear-guide lift, a 15-year warranty and BIFMA level® 2 / Clean Air GOLD certification. The LX Desk Mount Monitor Arm (45-241-026) is the workhorse full-motion arm with a longer reach and a 10-year warranty, and the MXV Desk Monitor Arm (45-486-026) sits between them for larger 34″ displays. For heavier screens see the HX Desk Monitor Arm.
Does the Ergotron TRACE come with a Singapore warranty?
Yes. Every Ergotron TRACE Monitor Mount sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; Ergotron backs the TRACE Monitor Mount with a 15-year manufacturer warranty.
