Products Description
It is a cable support and protection device widely used in power, communication, network cabling and other fields. It is also known as fiberglass cable tray or composite material cable tray.
I. Its main functions include:
Support and load-bearing : Provides solid support for wires and cables and transfers their load to the supporting structure.
Management and Protection : The complex network of cables is neatly laid within the cable trays, making them organized and easy to identify and maintain. It also protects the cables from mechanical damage, dust, and moisture.
Spatial isolation and fire protection : Separates cables from different systems such as high-voltage and low-voltage electricity, reducing mutual interference. Some types also have flame-retardant and fire-resistant functions.
II. Key Performance Indicators
1. Load rating : According to standards (such as JB/T 10216), it is divided into A (light load), B (medium load), C (heavy load) and D (extra heavy load), which need to be selected according to the weight and quantity of the cable.
2. Fire rating : Divided into ordinary type (F2) and flame retardant type (F1) .
3. Protection rating (IP code) : such as IP54 (dustproof, splashproof), IP66 (strong water sprayproof), cable trays can usually reach IP66.
4. Oxygen Index : This is an indicator of a material's flame retardancy. The higher the oxygen index, the more difficult it is to burn. Flame-retardant cable trays are typically required to have an oxygen index greater than 32.
III. Main Application Areas
Corrosive environments : chemical plants, power plant desulfurization areas, coastal platforms, seawater desalination plants, electroplating workshops.
Rail transit : subway and high-speed rail tunnels and platforms.
Municipal engineering projects : integrated utility tunnels, sewage treatment plants.
Communication networks : data centers, base stations.
Clean areas : electronics factories, hospitals, food processing plants.
IV. Comparison with cable trays made of other materials
| characteristic | Fiberglass cable trays | Galvanized steel cable trays | Aluminum alloy cable tray |
| Corrosion resistance | Excellent | Poor quality; the coating is prone to rust after damage. | Good, but not resistant to chloride ions and strong alkalis. |
| weight | light | Heavy | light |
| strength | high | high | medium |
| electrical conductivity | insulation | It is conductive and needs to be grounded. | It is conductive and needs to be grounded. |
| cost | medium | Low | high |
| Applicable Scenarios | Highly corrosive, humid, and requires high insulation | Dry room, cost sensitive | Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing |
Fiberglass cable trays, with their unique advantages of corrosion resistance, lightweight yet high strength, electrical insulation, and flame retardancy , are the irreplaceable best choice for specific applications. They represent the development trend of cable laying systems towards high performance, long lifespan, and maintenance-free operation. When selecting cable trays, clearly defining the usage environment and technical requirements, and choosing the appropriate type and grade, is crucial to ensuring the safe, reliable, and long-term operation of the cable system.
