Many customers ask about cable tray system, so what is cable tray? What are the classifications and applications of cable trays?

Cable tray is an important equipment widely applied and popular in the installation of electrical systems for all projects. However, there are still many people who still hesitate, do not know what cable tray is? The detailed information from A to Z about the cable tray that P69.JSC wants to share with you below will certainly be very useful for those who are looking to buy and use cable trays.

What is a cable tray?

Cable tray is a system of troughs that support, store and protect electrical conductors, power cables, network cables, etc. from external factors, while also increasing the life of conductors, creating safety. safe for users, as well as their installation works, used in high-rise buildings, offices, commercial centers, factories… They are designed with long rectangular shapes, electrical conductors placed in the trough and protected, helping the cable work well in conducting electricity and increasing its long-term durability.

Structural features of cable trays

Structure: It is a seamless sheet that is bent and shaped into a box shape according to the design size. As a result, the product surface is seamless, without joints or welds. Increase the aesthetics and certainty of the product.

Responsive width size: 60mm – 800mm

Advantages:

• Fast production time due to simple structure.
• Comprehensive protection for cables thanks to the tight cover in the trough, suitable for laying underground.

Defect:

• Product cost is high due to costly materials.
• The product weight is the heaviest in cable tray ladders. At large sizes, it will cause many difficulties in construction.

Note:

• When the cable size is large, or the required width is ≥600mm, priority should be given to the use of cable ladders, in order to save costs and increase durability.
• The large product weight and high cost will be a problem that you must pay attention to if you intend to use large size cable trays.

Classification of cable trays by material

Cable carriers are classified in many ways, here is a way of classifying cable trays by material

1. Powder coated cable tray

Powder coated cable tray is covered with a layer of electrostatic, this powder coating is resistant to electric leakage and anti-wear, rust, mainly hanging inside buildings or corridors, vertical shafts…

Basic technical parameter: 

• Material: High quality steel plate
• Surface: powder coated
• Standard length: 2500 – 3000 mm
• Standard width: 200 – 1000 mm
• Dimensions height: 80 – 100 mm
•  Thickness: 1.0 – 2.0 mm
• Common colors: Gray, orange, white, black brown…

Advantages:

• Due to the outstanding advantages,  powder coated cable trays  are used very popularly. If there is a need to use  cable trays  , we need to pay attention to the following basic factors:
• Choose  a perforated cable tray  in hot weather conditions as this will reduce the thermal load of the power line and increase product life.
• Most types  of cable trays  are manufactured with certain lengths. Depending on the electrical project, customers can adjust the length to suit and save the most. Manufacturers will meet all the requirements that the project owner gives.

2. Galvanized cable tray

Coated with a layer of zinc plating on the outside of the ordinary corrugated iron layer, for long-term corrosion resistance and water resistance, but it is not electrically insulating.

3. Hot dipped galvanized cable tray

The trough is made of ordinary corrugated iron, after finishing it will be transferred to hot-dip galvanized, the material can be said to be the most durable and can be used for a long time, usually applied to outdoors even though it is a cable with high quality materials. The most durable, but the price is also quite high.

Specifications:

• Material: High-grade steel plate
• Surface finish: hot dipped galvanized
• Dimensions length: 2500 – 3000 mm
• Width size: 200 – 1000 mm
• Dimensions height: 80 – 100 mm
• Standard thickness: 1.5 – 2.5 mm
• Popular color: Zinc Silver

Advantages:

• Galvanized cable tray has good resistance to Acid environment, limiting oxidation, abrasion, rust… In addition, when hot chemical reaction, galvanized cable tray will create very beautiful patterns.
• Can process many products at the same time, limiting the execution time and suitable for complex structural products.
• However, hot-dip galvanized cable trays are always more expensive than other products.

Application of cable tray

Suitable for underground installation because the cable tray has a sealed design, providing comprehensive protection for the cable. Today, because the main application is to protect cable lines, cable trays are used in many industries.

Among the types of cable tray ladders, the weight of the cable tray is the heaviest. In large sizes, when buying need to consider the price.

When the network cable has a large size, or the required width is ≥ 60mm, it is preferable to use cable ladders to save costs and increase product durability.
