Basket Cable Tray Accessories
The Bendin Basket cable tray accessories are components that
connect, support, protect, and organize cables within an open wire
mesh tray system. They are essential for creating flexible and
secure cable pathways, particularly for data, communications, and
low-voltage cables.
Main Categories And Functions
Below is a summary of the main categories of basket cable tray
accessories and their functions.
| Category | Core Function | Common Examples |
|---|
| Connection & Joining | Join straight tray sections to form continuous runs and create
custom bends or transitions | Splice Connectors: Two-piece clamps or winged connectors. Straight Connectors: Slide-on or tool-less connectors. Universal Splice Plates: For custom field fabrication |
| Support & Mounting | Securely attach the tray system to building structures at proper
heights and intervals | Wall/Ceiling Brackets: L-brackets, C-brackets. Trapeze Hangers & Ceiling Supports: For overhead suspension. Heavy-Duty Supports: For wider trays. Hold-Down Clamps: Secure tray to channel |
| Protection & Safety | Protect cables from damage and maintain performance during
installation and use | Corner Radius Shields: Ensure proper cable bend radius. Cable Rollers: Aid cable pulling and protect during installation. Safety-Edge Design: Formed edges on trays to prevent injury/cable damage. Covers: Provide physical protection |
| Customization & Cable Management | Organize cables within the tray and adapt the system for specific
routing needs | Drop-Outs (Side/Bottom): Create exit/entry points for cables. Dividers: Separate different cable types. Conduit Take-Off Plates: Transition from tray to conduit. Label Clips: For pathway identification |
Key Considerations When Selecting Accessories
Choosing the right accessories depends on your specific project
needs. Here are the main factors to consider:
1.Compatibility with the Tray System:Accessories must match your
tray's dimensions (width, depth), mesh style, and brand-specific
features.
2.Installation Environment: The environment dictates the required
material finish to prevent corrosion. Common options
include:Pre-Galvanized or Electro-Galvanized,Hot-Dip
Galvanized,Powder-Coated,Stainless Steel (304 or 316L).
3.Load and Performance Requirements: Ensure accessories can handle
the weight of your cables.
Advantages of a Well-Accessorized System
Using a comprehensive set of accessories maximizes the inherent
benefits of basket tray systems:
1.Flexibility and Ease of Modification: Splice plates and
connectors allow for on-site custom bends and changes without
pre-fabricated fittings.
2.Superior Cable Ventilation: The open mesh design, supported by
proper mounting, allows for excellent airflow around cables,
reducing heat buildup and extending cable life.
3.Safer Installation and Maintenance: Safety edges, cable rollers,
and tool-less clips protect installers and cables. The open design
also makes it easy to add, remove, or trace cables.
4.Time and Labor Efficiency: Quick-connect and tool-less
accessories significantly reduce installation time compared to
traditional bolted methods.
