Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CABLOFIL from 3G Electric.
What materials and finishes are available for CABLOFIL wire mesh cable trays?
CABLOFIL wire mesh cable trays are primarily constructed from steel. The standard finishes include zinc plating (electro-galvanized) and hot-dip galvanizing. Zinc-plated trays, such as the CF105/500EZ model, are suitable for indoor environments with low humidity. Galvanized finishes, as seen on many brackets, provide enhanced corrosion resistance for outdoor or harsh industrial settings. The choice of finish depends on the environmental conditions of the installation site.
How do I select the correct CABLOFIL bracket for a specific tray width?
CABLOFIL offers universal brackets (e.g., FASUCB series) and C brackets (e.g., FASC series) designed for specific tray widths. For example, the FASUCB100PG is for 4-inch wide trays, while the FASUCB300PG fits 12-inch wide trays. C brackets like the FASC300PG are also width-specific. Always match the bracket's width rating to the tray's nominal width. Brackets are typically used at tray joints or as intermediate supports, and the load capacity should be verified against the tray's fill weight.
Can CABLOFIL wire mesh trays be used for both power and data cables?
Yes, CABLOFIL wire mesh trays are suitable for both power and data cables. The open mesh design allows for separation and ventilation, which is beneficial for heat dissipation from power cables. For data cables, the tray provides a pathway that can be used with dividers if needed. However, local electrical codes may require physical separation between power and data cables, so consult applicable standards for your installation.
What is the standard length of CABLOFIL straight section wire mesh trays?
CABLOFIL straight section wire mesh trays are typically supplied in 10-foot (approximately 3-meter) lengths. This standard length facilitates handling and installation while minimizing the number of joints in a run. For longer spans, multiple sections can be joined using connectors or brackets. The 10-foot length is common across various widths and heights, such as the 20-inch wide, 4-inch high model CF105/500EZ.
Are CABLOFIL brackets compatible with other brands of wire mesh trays?
CABLOFIL brackets are designed specifically for use with CABLOFIL wire mesh trays. While some universal brackets may have dimensions that fit other brands, compatibility is not guaranteed. For reliable load performance and proper fit, it is recommended to use CABLOFIL brackets with CABLOFIL trays. Mixing components from different manufacturers can affect system integrity and may not meet load ratings.
