Cable Tray Systems is an important part of the electrical installation, which provides an organized and safe way to manage cables and wires. Cables are run through the wall or ceiling structure to which brackets mount them. The cable trays provide a strong, rigid, and well-protected means of transporting power, data, and signal cables through buildings in a neat, clean and efficient manner. Cable Tray Systems provide a way of routing cables in a network where changes are expected frequently. New wires can be laid in the existing Cable Trays when requirements change without disturbing the other wires. The Cable Trays provide excellent mechanical support and allow for perfect overhead and underground cable routing.
Examples:
-A telephone system is installed in a building with a central exchange
-The number of extensions has increased over some time
-The number of extensions has reduced
-An extension is added, or the lines rearranged
The Cable Tray Systems are designed to allow efficient heat dissipation and easy access for inspection. This Cable Tray System is provided with a pair of hanger rods, which serve as a bridging system to suspend and support insulated power/control/communication cables. The hangers are connected to the tray using hinges, the opening angle of which can be adjusted according to the required height of the system. The cable tray systems can be installed on walls, columns, or directly over suspended ceilings.
During installation, care must be taken to ensure that no electrical or mechanical stress is placed on the cable tray itself. The weight of the cable run should be supported by the supporting structure only; therefore, lateral stresses should be avoided to avoid damage to the tray. Cables should not be allowed to hang loosely from fittings on the cable tray. If a particular run the length of cable is too heavy for one single cable tray section, it is permissible to have several cable trays installed in series to accommodate the required load. This will also avoid any bending moments along the length of individual trays. If many cables run parallel and terminate within a short distance, then each group of parallel wires should be placed in a separate tray section.
Cable tray systems are the perfect solution to keep your cables tidy, neat, and out of the way. Installing a cable tray will eliminate those annoying trip hazards and keep your lines within reach when needed. Cable trays are also highly durable, and as a result, they are ideal for areas with a lot of foot traffic or high volume use. Cable trays are also easy to install and require no special tools, so anyone can easily install them.
A wide variety of cable trays are available on the market, but you should be careful when selecting the right one for your home or office. Cable tray systems are corrosion-resistant and can be used in areas with high humidity or condensation. However, some cable tray systems tend to corrode more quickly than others because some have been designed to avoid this problem using different materials or coatings. To select the correct cable tray system, you must consider that all cables running along the tray must be able to fit without being too tight or too loose.
Cable Tray Systems come in several widths, lengths, heights, and styles and are sure to be the perfect fit for your needs.
Cable trays are built in several different configurations and from several other materials. The most commonly used cable trays are solid bottom type, perforated type, ladder type, wire mesh, and channel type.
The solid bottom type is the most basic cable tray, with a solid sheet of metal running between posts. It's easy to install with simple hand tools and the cheapest option. However, it's not suited for areas that need frequent access to run and repair cables because the floor space required to move around underneath is significant.
Also, the equipment that goes inside can only be small enough to fit through the holes in the tray. Sometimes, large equipment will need to be mounted on the tray instead.
Perforated cable trays are similar to solid bottom cables, except they have holes running down both sides of every post. These holes allow cables to pass through without leaving any space underneath. The holes also allow more room for maneuvering and working underneath the tray because there's no bottom plate to restrict your movement.
A ladder cable tray adds rungs or slots on each side that give you a place to grab when moving around underneath it. It makes it easier for people to move around underneath.
Cable trays are the primary means of routing and protecting cables in various situations. The most common trays are made of sheet metal, but other materials like stainless steel and aluminum have their uses.
The material is chosen for a particular use based on its application and environment. For example, galvanized steel trays are fabricated from pre-galvanized sheets or hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication. They're generally used when the cable is exposed to corrosive environments or aesthetic matter.
The stainless steel and fiberglass and fiberglass reinforced plastic trays are used where the environment is corrosive, and an aesthetic look is desirable. They're usually made by forming the metal over a mold that defines its shape and then reinforcing materials like glass fibers or plastic to strengthen it.
Although these cable trays may seem similar at first glance, they should be chosen depending on the application to ensure they meet your needs.
