Trough-Type FRP Cable Tray

FRP Trough Cable Tray For Heavy-Duty Cable Management
Trough-type FRP cable trays are designed with a solid bottom and encased sides.
They offer excellent protection for cables from dust, debris, and external
elements. Ideal for environments where cable protection is paramount, these
trays are often used indoors or in areas with a lot of particulate matter.
However, they may not be as suitable for areas requiring rapid heat dissipation
or where cable ventilation is a concern. Compared to other types, they offer
superior protection but may be heavier and harder to inspect or maintain.
Trough-type FRP cable tray is a cable tray with a trough-like shape made from
fiberglass reinforced plastic, combining the benefits of a specific design with
the advantages of a particular material. This combination makes it ideal for
various applications where cable protection and durability are essential.
Trough-type FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) cable trays come in various
specifications, sizes, thicknesses, and weights.
Common Specifications
Material: Made from Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, offering high strength,
durability, and corrosion resistance.
Type: Trough or U-shaped design, providing a secure and accessible channel for
cables. This term refers to the shape and design of the cable tray. The
“trough” in trough-type indicates that the cable tray has a U-shaped profile,
resembling a trough. This design is effective for securely holding and
protecting cables, providing a contained route for cable management. The trough
shape also allows for easy laying of cables and simplifies maintenance and
inspection, as the cables are easily accessible.
Load Capacity: Varies depending on the size and design, but typically designed
to support a significant weight of cables over long spans.
a)Light Duty: Up to 50 kg/meter (for small cables and light installations).
b)Medium Duty: Between 50 kg/meter and 100 kg/meter (suitable for most
commercial and industrial applications).
c)Heavy Duty: Over 100 kg/meter (for large cables and high-density cable
layouts).
Fire Retardancy: Often designed to be self-extinguishing or have a low fire
hazard rating.
Rating: Commonly classified as self-extinguishing. They may have a fire
performance rating like UL 94-V0, indicating that they stop burning within 10
seconds after the removal of the flame source.
Smoke Emission: Low smoke emission in case of fire, which is crucial for safety
in enclosed spaces.
Temperature Range: Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, maintaining
integrity in both hot and cold environments.
Operating Temperature: Typically from -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +248°F).
This range can vary, especially if special additives are used for enhanced
thermal stability.
Resistance: High resistance to chemical corrosion, moisture, and UV radiation.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids,
alkalis, and solvents.
Moisture Resistance: Highly resistant to water and humidity, making them
suitable for outdoor or damp environments.
UV Resistance: Often treated for UV stability, especially in outdoor
applications.
Width: Commonly available in widths ranging from 50 mm to 600 mm.
Length: Standard lengths are usually 3 meters or 6 meters, but can be
customized.
Depth: The depth of the trough can vary, typically between 50 mm to 200 mm.
Wall Thickness: Generally ranges from 2.5 mm to 5 mm, depending on the tray’s
size and the load requirements.
Weight: The weight of FRP cable trays is much lighter compared to metallic
options, making them easier to handle and install. The specific weight will
depend on the size and thickness of the tray.
Color: Usually grey, black, or as per the customer’s requirement.
Accessories: Including connectors, bends, reducers, and supports for versatile
installation options.
Mounting Options: Can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or supported by floor
stands.
Customization: offer custom sizes and configurations to meet specific project
requirements.
