CABLE TRAY DEPENDABILITY
A properly designed and installed cable tray
system with the appropriate cable types will provide
a wiring system of outstanding dependability for the
control, communication, data handling,
instrumentation, and power systems. The
dependability of cable tray wiring systems has been
proven by a 40 year track record of excellent
performance.
• Cable tray wiring systems have an outstanding
record for dependable service in industry. It is the
most common industrial wiring system in Europe.
In continuous process systems, an electrical system
failure can cost millions of dollars and present
serious process safety problems for the facility, its
personnel and the people in the surrounding
communities. A properly designed and installed
cable tray system with the appropriate cable types
will provide a wiring system of outstanding
dependability for process plants.
•Television broadcast origination facilities and
studios make use of cable tray to support and route
the large volumes of cable needed for their
operations with a high degree of dependability. It
would be impossible to have the wiring system
flexibility they need with a conduit wiring system.
• Large retail and warehouse installations use
cable tray to support their data communication
cable systems. Such systems must be dependable so
that there are no outages of their continuous
inventory control systems.
• Cable tray wiring systems have been widely
used to support cabling in both commercial and
industrial computer rooms overhead and beneath
the floor to provide orderly paths to house and
support the cabling. These types of installations
need a high degree of dependability which can be
obtained using cable tray wiring systems.
CABLE TRAY SPACE SAVINGS
When compared to a conduit wiring system, an
equivalent cable tray wiring system installation
requires substantially less space.
Increasing the size of a structure or a support
system to handle a high space volume conduit
wiring system is unnecessary when this problem can
be avoided by the selection of a cable tray wiring
system.
• Facilities with high density wiring systems
devoted to control, instrumentation, data handling
and branch circuit wiring have the choice of
selecting cable tray or conduit wiring systems. A
conduit wiring system is often a poor choice
because large conduit banks require significant
space, competing with other systems and
equipment. Choosing a cable tray wiring system
greatly reduces this problem.
• Financial institutions with large computer
installations have high density wiring systems under
floors or in overhead plenum areas that are best
handled by cable tray wiring systems.
• Airport facilities have extensive cable tray
wiring systems to handle the ever expanding needs
of the airline industry.
• Cable tray is used in many facilities because of
the ever present need of routing more and more
cables in less space at lower costs.
• Large health care facilities have high density
wiring systems that are ideal candidates for cable
tray.
