Having Security for your Networks Using Metal Cable Tray

Metal cable trays are special electrical products made of a metal profile and designed for the safe laying of cable routes in elements of various structures, collectors, and suspended ceiling spaces.

The unique design of metal trays provides cables and wires with maximum protection against the negative effects of the environment and possible mechanical damage.

Trays are made of steel galvanized according to the Sendzimir method, they are considered the most convenient and durable devices for mounting various cable systems.

Modern metal cable trays can be made of sheet metal - perforated or non-perforated, with or without a lid; and from metal rods (wires) welded together in a special way - a wire cable tray.

This allows you to use them for any type of cable route installation, and most importantly, to lay cables of different types together, simply dividing the tray inside with a partition.

Benefits of Metal Cable Trays

Their use allows open laying of cable routes, which in the future makes it possible to easily maintain and develop the built systems.

The tubular locking structure without sharp edges increases the strength characteristics of such trays several times.

The design of these products determines the simplicity and high speed of installation of lines.

A huge variety of standard sizes of the trays themselves, as well as a wide selection of accessories for them, allows you to design and create a cable route of any level of complexity. Ample opportunities for building and upgrading the cable system.

Perforated cable trays provide good ventilation for cables.

Protection of the system from contamination. The tray, which has a mesh structure, does not retain dirt and other substances.

Cable metal trays fence off the electrical cable system from flammable objects, which significantly reduces the level of fire hazard.

We also have a wide range of cable tray accessories:

Cable metal trays allow you to mount cable networks, both inside and outside the premises. However, it is worth paying attention that most often a wire tray is used for installing cables and wires indoors. Such trays can be mounted with screws, clips or clips, and the cables laid inside are fixed with ties.

Cable wire trays can be made of galvanized wire or stainless steel. The first will be an excellent solution for installing a cable system in an aggressive environment, in all other cases, you can use a galvanized tray.

By installing cable wire trays, you will ensure:

• ease of installation of cable systems;
• direct access to cables at any time;
• efficient cooling of the cable system;
• no dirt, dust and water accumulation.

Rules for Choosing Metal Cable Trays

Regardless of what type of cable trays you choose for laying routes, first of all, you should determine the maximum allowable load, select fasteners and, depending on the number of cables to be laid, select the depth of the tray.

It should be remembered that cables can be laid in bundles and packages, in rows and even in several layers, the main thing is that the total cross-sectional area of ​​the laid cables does not exceed 60% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the tray.

When choosing brackets, fasteners and accessories for trays, remember that when building a cable route, it should not be allowed to bend too much.

When designing metal tray systems, it is imperative to take into account the structures of buildings and the architectural features of the premises, only in this way you can correctly select the required type of metal tray, its fastenings and mount a cable system of any complexity without any problems.
