Cable Trays are pillar for developing industries

Cable Trays are usually used by constructions and developing industries, for their many different projects. Cable trays are used to collect and distribute cables. Steel, plastic, aluminum, fibreglasses are mostly used for making cable trays. Cable trays are the back bones of constructions and developing industries.

Types of Cable Trays

Types of cable trays are to be follow-

1) Ladder Cable Tray:

Ladder cable trays are usually used for applications to long support spans normally ladder cable trays are 12 to 30 feet long.

2) Perforated Type Cable Tray:

The perforated type cable trays are made of Mild Steel IS 1079, Pre-Galvanized Sheet, Stainless Steel & Aluminum and some important information about perforated cable tray

As follow-

Width - 50 mm to 1200 mm

Height - 10 mm to 100 mm

Thickness - 1.2 mm to 3 mm

Length - 2444 mm / 2500 mm / 3000 mm

3) Solid Bottom Cable Tray:

Solid Bottom Cable Trays are mostly used for minimal heat generating electrical or telecommunication applications with short to intermediate support spans, solid bottom cable trays are maximum 5 to 12 feet long.

4) Channel Cable Tray:

Channel cable tray is consisting of one piece, channel cable tray used by all different industries to carry their smaller equipments, data communication and it also include computer hardware equipments, telephone and control and fiber optic cable.

5) Single Rail Cable Tray:

Single rail cable tray is very much important for saving time and money for those lighter-duty cable support projects that do not require a traditional dual side rail cable tray.

Generally single rail cable trays width are 6 to 24 inches, depth are 3 to 6 inches and lengths are 10 to 12 feet. Single rail cable trays are generally used for low voltage and power cable installations because where cable gets maximum freedom, side fill and speed to all install are factors.

6) Trough Cable Tray:

Trough Cable Trays are mostly used for moderate heat generating with short time to intermediate support spans, and it is normally 5 to 12 feet long.

7) Wire Mesh Cable Tray:

Wire Mesh Cable Trays are generally used for telecommunication and fiber optic application, installed on short support spans.

Advantages of using Cable Trays for wiring systems

Generally cost is a major consideration in the selection of a wiring system. This article provides information as to where cable tray wiring system cost savings will occur; however, it is not the intent of this article to state that the selection of a wiring system should be based only on cost.

Early in the life of a project, the costs and the features of the applicable wiring methods should be evaluated to provide decision information for the selection of the best possible wiring method or methods for the project. The evaluations should include items that relate to cost, dependability, future changes, maintenance, safety, and space savings. Usually the evaluation will determine if a cable tray wiring system or a conduit wiring system is to be selected as the projects major wiring system.
