Fiberglass Cable Tray & Channel Advantages of Fiberglass Cable Tray Fiberglass Cable Tray Systems Advantages

Engineers, designers, contractors, installers and end users have many reasons to choose Fiberglass cable tray for their power, signal and control distribution support requirements. Here are some specific advantages that fiberglass cable tray systems provide: Corrosion Resistance The inherent chemical resistance of fiberglass cable tray makes it desirable for severely corrosive environments. Life cycle costs of tray installations can be dramatically reduced by the extended life expectancy of this product. Many original installations have been in service for nearly twenty-five years and are providing reliable service. Versatile Fiberglass cable tray systems are available in a variety of sizes and styles. A standard or special design can be fabricated for any indoor or outdoor application regardless of size. Easy Installation Fiberglass cable tray is strong and lightweight, allowing this durable system to be installed quickly and easily. Because there are no sharp edges or burrs, long runs of armored cable can be installed with less chance for cable damage. Tray System Advantages Over Other Wiring Methods Cable tray systems in general provide the following advantages over other wiring methods: Full Ventilation Power cables need not be directed in a

Space Efficiency Fiberglass cable tray systems can carry more cable in less space than other wiring methods. Fully Compatible with other Wiring Methods Fiberglass cable tray is often used in main runs when other wiring methods are employed in branch circuits. Simple Field Modifications Modifications can be made easily using standard metalworking tools without extensive re-engineering. Accessibility for the Future New cable can be easily added, replaced or repaired. Circuits can be visually traced, minimizing startup and trouble shooting.

ventilated cable tray system. Explosive gases cannot be trapped or transmitted as in totally enclosed wiring systems.

Long Support Spans Fiberglass cable tray systems are designed for up to twenty foot support spans, longer than most other wiring methods. Fewer supports reduce both installation time and cost. Installation Labor Reduced Fiberglass cable tray can be installed after concrete and major building steel and mechanical piping are complete. Crews can start later and finish sooner.
