As an industry leader in cable tray, Eaton offers one of the widest ranges of cable management solutions available in the market today with its B-Line series portfolio. With unmatched quality and service, we
Pick a span (often 1.5–3 m) and verify the uniform load rating exceeds your cable weight plus a safety factor. Check deflection limits to protect terminations and fibre.
SOLID-BOTTOM CABLE TRAY Providing additional cable protection, solid-bottom cable tray is sometimes preferred to support and protect numerous small instrumentation and control cables.
The Ladder Tray features light, rugged, tubular steel construction. It is designed for mechanical support and strain relief in long runs of cable and creates a smooth gradual bend for cable. Rail and stringer
This document provides guidelines for installing cable in cable trays, including: 1) Calculations for maximum allowable tensions on cables using pulling eyes/bolts
The radius for cable ladder and cable tray fittings is usually determined by the bending radius and stiffness of the cables installed on the cable ladder or cable tray.
Use this cable tray sizing calculator to check fill %, select tray size, and comply with IEC 61537 & NEC 392 with formulas, example and checklist.
