Trough-type cable tray with fixing bracket

Trough-type cable trays are enclosed systems designed to protect and organize cables, often used with brackets for secure mounting in commercial, industrial, or data center environments.

Trough-

Type Cable Trays

Design and Structure: Trough cable trays feature a solid or partially enclosed bottom with raised sides and a removable cover, providing maximum protection for cables against dust, moisture, physical damage, and electromagnetic interference. They are ideal for sensitive systems such as computer, communication, control, and thermocouple cables. The enclosed design also aids in heat dissipation and keeps cables organized, reducing maintenance challenges.

Materials and Durability: These trays are commonly made from steel or aluminum, often with surface treatments like galvanization or powder coating to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Steel trough trays, such as Cablofil models, provide high strength and security, limiting unauthorized access to cables. Applications: Data centers and server rooms for network and control cablesHospitals and laboratories where cable protection and interference shielding are criticalIndustrial environments with heavy corrosion or dust exposure Cable Fixing BracketsPurpose: Cable fixing brackets are used to secure trough trays to ceilings, walls, or other structures, ensuring stability and proper alignment.

They prevent sagging, maintain cable organization, and allow for safe routing of electrical and data cables. Mounting Methods: Suspended Mounting: Threaded rods and hangers drop the tray from the ceiling, providing strong and adjustable support.

Wall-

Mounted Brackets: Brackets are fixed to walls, allowing trays to run parallel to the wall, ideal for perimeter cable runs. Surface Mounting: Trays are attached directly to a solid ceiling, suitable for flat concrete slabs. Additional Considerations: Fire-Rated Brackets and Trays: Maintain circuit integrity during fire events, critical for emergency systems.

Shielded Trays: Protect sensitive data cables from electromagnetic interference.

Long-

Span Brackets: Support heavy-duty trays over large distances without intermediate supports, useful in warehouses or aircraft hangers.
