Regarding grid cable trays
Thread Content
Recently, grid cable trays have been recommended; previously, trough cable trays were the most commonly used. I am already aware of the advantages of grid cable trays, such as low weight and good heat dissipation. Now, let’s discuss what the disadvantages of grid-type cable trays are compared to other types of cable trays (such as trough-type cable trays, tray-type cable trays, ladder-type cable trays, etc.)
It depends on what you plan to use it for. If it’s for instrument trays where signal shielding is a concern, slot-type trays are a better choice； If it’s an electrical cable tray, it should work.
Instrument trough panels are generally of the trough type, mainly to shield interference. Ladder and mesh types are used in electrical applications.
Does not hold water easily, has good heat dissipation, and is lightweight
It cannot protect against dust and oil stains, and its signal shielding performance is poor.
This type of grid cable tray has been widely used in BASF’s Nanjing plant for many years. Let’s put an end to rumors such as poor signal shielding; to ensure good signal shielding, it is necessary to focus on the cables themselves – using cables with shielding is sufficient. Such grid cable trays are very suitable as branch cable trays – they are lightweight, easy to install, and no welding or heating is required at the installation site; it’s really useful.
