Cable Tray: The Backbone of Efficient Cable Management

Cable tray systems are an essential component in modern electrical and data installations, providing a robust and flexible solution for routing and supporting cables. From small commercial projects to large industrial applications, cable trays offer a cost-effective and efficient method of managing cables while ensuring proper ventilation and ease of access for maintenance.

Unitrunk: A Leader in Cable Tray Solutions

One of the foremost brands in the cable management industry is Unitrunk. Known for their innovative designs and high-quality products, Unitrunk offers a comprehensive range of cable tray solutions suitable for various applications. Their products are recognised for their durability, ease of installation, and compliance with industry standards.

Size Range

Cable trays come in a wide range of sizes to accommodate different cable volumes and installation requirements. The most common sizes range from 50mm to 600mm in width, with several increments in between. Here's a breakdown of the typical sizes:

  • 50mm: Ideal for small runs or limited cable quantities
  • 100mm: Suitable for light commercial applications
  • 150mm: Common in office buildings and small industrial settings
  • 300mm: Often used in larger commercial and industrial installations
  • 450mm: Designed for heavy cable loads in industrial environments
  • 600mm: The largest standard size, capable of supporting substantial cable volumes

These varying widths allow installers to choose the most appropriate size for their specific needs, ensuring efficient use of space while providing adequate capacity for current and future cabling requirements.

Duty Ratings

Cable trays are classified into different duty ratings based on their load-bearing capacity and intended use. The three main categories are:

  1. Light Duty Light duty cable trays are designed for smaller cable loads and are typically used in office environments, retail spaces, and light commercial applications. They're suitable for supporting data cables, small power cables, and other lightweight cabling systems. Light duty trays often have a load capacity of up to 10kg/m.
  2. Medium Duty Medium duty cable trays strike a balance between strength and cost-effectiveness. They're commonly used in larger commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and some industrial settings. These trays can typically support loads between 10kg/m and 30kg/m, making them suitable for a mix of power and data cables.
  3. Heavy Duty Heavy duty cable trays are engineered to withstand substantial loads, often exceeding 30kg/m. They're primarily used in industrial environments, data centers, and other applications where large numbers of heavy cables need support. Heavy duty trays are typically made from thicker gauge steel and may feature additional reinforcement to handle the increased weight.

Unitrunk offers products across all these duty ratings, ensuring that customers can find the right solution for their specific requirements.

Installation and Accessories

Cable trays are designed for easy installation and integration with other cable management components. They can be mounted on walls, suspended from ceilings, or supported by floor-mounted structures. Unitrunk and other manufacturers provide a range of accessories to complement their cable tray systems, including:

  • Brackets and supports for various mounting options
  • Joiners and couplers for creating continuous runs
  • Bends and tees for changing direction
  • Reducers for transitioning between different tray sizes
  • Dividers for separating different types of cables within the same tray

These accessories allow for the creation of comprehensive cable management systems that can be tailored to the unique requirements of each installation.

Benefits of Cable Tray Systems

The use of cable trays offers numerous advantages:

  1. Flexibility: Easy to modify or expand as cabling needs change
  2. Accessibility: Open design allows for quick cable inspection and maintenance
  3. Ventilation: Promotes air circulation, helping to prevent cable overheating
  4. Cost-effective: Generally less expensive than enclosed conduit systems
  5. Time-saving: Faster installation compared to other cable management methods
  6. Capacity: Ability to handle large volumes of cables efficiently

In conclusion, cable tray systems, such as those offered by Unitrunk, provide a versatile and efficient solution for cable management across a wide range of applications. With sizes ranging from 50mm to 600mm and duty ratings to suit various load requirements, cable trays can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any installation, ensuring safe, organised, and accessible cable routing.
