PVC cable tray

Cable Tray

Cable tray is one of the most essential and widely used equipment for the proper guidance, maintenance, and distribution of electricity in industrial and commercial environments. The visible wiring in buildings can lead to a messy and complex arrangement, especially in industrial settings where telecommunication and fiber optic cables, server room cables, and building electrical conduits are routed in various paths. To create better organization, cable trays are used to categorize cables and define the routing and transfer paths for each group of wires. According to the National Electrical Code, a cable tray system consists of a set of trays or a combination of trays with corresponding sections and connections, forming a structural system for the transfer of cables to other points and providing support for them. Cable trays efficiently transport cables in an organized manner, allowing easy inspection and modifications as needed. Generally, cable trays refer to metal or plastic (PVC) structures installed in cable routing paths, with cables placed inside them and securely fixed to the tray’s floor or walls using specific fasteners. These trays vary significantly based on their usage location, installation methods, cable material, environmental conditions, light, and temperature. Despite the diversity in this product, all types of cable trays must exhibit high resistance to moisture and corrosion, providing effective ventilation and air exchange for the cables. Therefore, careful consideration is required in their design and selection to meet specific needs.

Use of PVC Properties in the Production of Alborz Cable Trays:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, PVC is extensively utilized in a wide range of industrial, technical, and everyday applications, including construction, transportation, packaging, electrical/electronic, and healthcare applications. The advantages of using PVC in the production of cable trays include: 1. Excellent Resistance: PVC exhibits excellent resistance without corrosion, making it highly resistant to chemical agents and humid environments, contributing to its long lifespan. 2. Impact Resistance: Depending on the size, PVC has high impact resistance, up to 20 joules. 3. Non-flammable: PVC is resistant to flames and has excellent resistance to fire. 4. Easy Installation: PVC cable trays are lightweight, making them easy to transport. Cutting, drilling, or connecting them is simple and causes minimal damage to cables or hands. 5. Environmental Compatibility: PVC is 100% recyclable, both physically and chemically, making it environmentally friendly. Additionally, PVC requires very little energy during manufacturing.

Factors to Consider for Cable Tray Selection:

To achieve the desired goal, several factors should be considered when selecting a cable tray: 1. Accurate Measurement: The path where the cable tray is to be installed must be accurately measured and mapped. 2. Tray Selection: The type and quantity of wires and cables inside the tray, as well as their cross-sectional area, play a crucial role in selecting the tray width. 3. Strength and Tray Placement: The total weight of the cable should be measured, and based on the selected tray size, the distance between supports and the number of required supports should be determined for optimal results. 4. Environmental Conditions: The environmental conditions of the installation site influence the material selection, and fortunately, Alborz PVC cable trays can be installed in all environments without restrictions. 5. Angles and Connections: Calculating angles and connections is essential based on the map and conducted surveys. 6. Ease of Implementation: Alborz PVC cable trays offer unique versatility in installation, allowing easy execution of various installation scenarios with minimal components. 7. Standard Compliance: Having standards and certifications from reputable laboratories ensures a high-quality selection and enhances the project’s lifespan and quality. 8. Bending Radius: Considering the cable’s bending radius is crucial, as some cables do not bend easily, and the tray should be selected accordingly. 9. Expandability: The expandability of cable trays is essential for easily adding branches, allowing system upgrades. 10. Cable Protection: The best cable tray choice is one that effectively preserves the integrity of the cables passing through it. Alborz PVC cable trays maintain smooth surfaces even after cutting, preventing any sharp edges and preserving cable and hand safety.
