Thomas & Betts perforated trayis available in four materialtypes for maximum versatilityin installation.

Aluminium (to 1050 H14)

Aluminium 1050 H14 alloy for lightweight construction, excellent corrosionresistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium cable tray offerssimple installation and low maintenance.

Pre-galvanized steel (to BS EN 10142 & BS EN 10143)

Steel is ideal as a high strength, low cost material for cable tray.

Pre-galvanized steel tray is produced by passing the low-carbon steel throughmolten zinc before fabrication, and is generally recommended for indoorcommercial applications rather than outdoor or industrial environments.

Hot dip galvanized steel (to BS EN ISO 1461)

Hot dip galvanized steel tray is produced by immersing the fabricated trayin molten zinc, creating a much thicker coating than pre-galvanized. Thisprocess is recommended for most outdoor and harsh industrial applications.

Stainless steel (to AISI Type 316 or 304)

Stainless steel offers high strength and high resistance to chemicals, evenat high ambient temperatures. T&B stainless steel cable tray is roll-formedfrom AISI Type 316 or 304 stainless steel.

Material types

� Aluminium

� Steel (pre-galvanized, hot dipgalvanized and stainless steelgrades 304 and 316)

Note: cable tray edges and welds are rounded and smoothed during manufacture to prevent cable damage. Careshould be taken when handling cable tray and protective gloves should be worn to avoid risk of injury.

T&B perforation pattern

The pattern used on T&B perforated tray has been specifically designed tomeet Middle East market expectations and to ensure all component partscan be quickly and easily coupled together, keeping installation time toa minimum.

Included in the pattern are burr free slots and squares for securing barrierstrips, mounts and supports, and also for securing Ty-Rap® cable ties whenbundling cable.

Channel trayIntroduction


A major advantage of channel trayis its adaptability. Modification ofthe system is easy because cables canenter or exit a tray at any point.

Channel tray is often used to providesupport to smaller cable runs from alarger cable ladder or perforatedcable tray system.

Channel tray can be easily affixedto larger systems, and is revised orexpanded simply without disruptionor the need to replace the entirecable management system.

Enhanced safety

Channel tray proves much safer thanconduit installation, with lower riskof exposure to live, energised parts.

In a channel tray system, cables canbe pulled from near one terminationenclosure to the next before beingconnected, rather than being pulledthrough the conduit after the cableis terminated.

Low maintenance

The simplicity of the channel traysystem ensures installation andmaintenance routines can beconducted quickly and effortlessly.

When maintenance is necessary, itrequires less labour and time thanalternative cabling solutions.

First class support



T&B channel tray offers a completesystem including straight sections,fittings, covers and accessories foroptimum versatility when planningcable runs.

Components are available in a rangeof materials to cover the variety ofinstallation requirements across theMiddle East.

Reduced costs

Reliability, adaptability and ease ofmaintenance are some of the manybenefits of channel tray whichdeliver savings during installationand over the lifetime of the system.

Straightforward installation ensurescosts are reduced considerablycompared to the time needed topull cables through conduit.

High adaptability permits rapidsystem adjustment, ensuringdowntime is kept to a minimum inelectrical and data handling systems.

Channel tray Introduction


Channel tray bottom types

Solid channel tray is offered in all widths (1 1/2”, 3”, 4”, 6”), and includesconnector holes at each end for attachment of fittings or other straightsections via a splice plate.

3”, 4” and 6” ventilated channel tray includes burr free oblong punchedholes for easy access. Ty-Rap® slots are provided between each openingfor securing and maintaining air space between cables. Ty-Rap® slots areprovided at intervals in 1 1/2” ventilated tray.

Note: fittings supplied in solid bottom type only.

Thomas & Betts channel tray isavailable in four material typesand two tray bottom types, formaximum versatility.

Aluminium (to 6063 T6)

Aluminium 6063 T6 alloy for lightweight construction, excellent corrosionresistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium channel tray offerssimple installation and low maintenance.


Steel is ideal as a high strength, low cost material for channel tray.

Pre-galvanized steel tray is produced by passing the low-carbon steel throughmolten zinc before fabrication, and is generally recommended for indoorcommercial applications rather than outdoor or industrial environments.


Hot dip galvanized steel tray is produced by immersing the fabricated tray inmolten zinc, creating a much thicker coating than pre-galvanized. Thisprocess is recommended for most outdoor and harsh industrial applications.


Stainless steel offers high strength and high resistance to chemicals, evenat high ambient temperatures. T&B stainless steel channel tray is roll-formedfrom AISI Type 316 stainless steel, as standard, with Type 304 stainless steelavailable to special order.

Channel tray Fittings


Fittings enable a channel tray system to change direction orelevation in order to meet building design and cable run constraints.

The channel tray range of fittings includes:

� Horizontal bends � Vertical inside bends

� Vertical outside bends � Horizontal tees

� Horizontal crosses

The most important decision to be made in fitting design concerns radius.

Selection of the most appropriate radius requires a compromise with theconsiderations being available space, minimum bending radius of cables,ease of cable pulling, and cost.

Whether horizontal or vertical application, a standard radius of either12” or 24” is available, with options for zero (non-radius), or custom sizesgreater than 24” to special order.

The typical radius specified in channel tray installations is 24”.

Vertical outside bends enablethe channel tray system tochange direction, downwardsto a different plane.

Horizontal tees and crossesenable joins to be made in thechannel tray system at 90ºangles, in the same plane.

Horizontal bends enablethe channel tray systemto change direction in thesame plane.

Vertical inside bends enablethe channel tray system tochange direction, upwardsto a different plane.

Channel trayFittings



Fitting part numbers are based on a range of selection criteria, dependenton the type of fitting and the role undertaken in the channel tray system.

For product ordering, specifiers should choose the appropriate componentpart from the lists shown in the tables below and create a specific partnumber following the example shown.

Horizontal and vertical bends are available with standard angles of 30°,45°, 60° and 90°. When a standard angle is not suitable, field fittings oradjustable splice plates can be used. It may be necessary to add supportsto the tray at these points (our range of accessories and Superstrut® isshown on pages 10 to 14).

Refer to NEMA VE-2 Installation Guidelines for suggested support locationsfor fittings.

Cable ladderIntroduction


More than ever, businesses musthave flexibility - to expand facilitiesquickly, to introduce new processesor product lines as demand dictates.

A major advantage of cable ladderis its adaptability to meet new needsand technology.

System modification, redesign orexpansion is a simple task becausecables can enter or exit the ladderat any point. There is no need toreplace the entire system, ensuringminimal disruption to site activity.

Enhanced safety

Cable ladder proves much safer thanconduit installation, with lower riskof exposure to live, energised parts.

In a cable ladder system, cables canbe pulled from near one terminationenclosure to the next before beingconnected, rather than being pulledthrough the conduit after the cableis terminated.

Low maintenance

Cable ladder wiring systems havea lower maintenance demand thanconduit systems.

When maintenance is necessary, itproves easier, less labour intensive,and requires less time to complete.

First class support



Thomas & Betts cable ladder isavailable in aluminium or steelwith a range of finishes.

Straight sections can be orderedin a variety of lengths and bottomstyles, and are accompanied byan extensive selection of fittings,covers and accessories to ensureall installation needs are covered.

Reduced costs

The adaptability, reliability and easeof maintenance of T&B cable ladderresult in many types of cost saving,including:

� Lower installation, engineeringand maintenance costs

� Lower need to reconfigure thesystem as needs change

� Reduced downtime for electricaland data handling systems

� Fewer environmental problemsresulting from loss of power toessential equipment

Comprising longitudinal rails and a bottom with openings sufficient for thepassage of air. Rungs are extra wide for maximum cable bearing, and havecontinuous open slot for strut pipe clamps and barrier strip adjustability.Every second rung is reversed for easy top or bottom mounting of cable tiesand clamps, with exclusive Ty-Rap® slots on 1” centres. This ensures cablescan be secured without kinks and keeps cables uniform.

Solid trough

A fabricated structure consisting of a bottom without ventilation openingswithin separate longitudinal siderails.

Rungs are not alternated (up/down), however have perforations and, wherenecessary, Ty-Raps® can be inserted diagonally between rung and bottomsheet for cable fastening. This design offers added cable protection.

Thomas & Betts cable ladder isavailable in four material typesand three bottom types, formaximum versatility.

Aluminium (to 6063 T6)

Aluminium 6063 T6 alloy for lightweight construction, excellent corrosionresistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium cable ladder offerssimple installation and low maintenance.


Steel is ideal as a high strength, low cost material for cable ladder.

Pre-galvanized steel ladder is produced by passing low-carbon steel throughmolten zinc before fabrication, and is generally recommended for indoorcommercial applications rather than outdoor or industrial environments.


Hot dip galvanized steel ladder is produced by immersing fabricated ladderin molten zinc, creating a much thicker coating than pre-galvanized. Thisprocess is recommended for most outdoor and harsh industrial applications.


Stainless steel offers high strength and high resistance to chemicals, evenat high ambient temperatures. T&B stainless steel cable ladder is roll-formedfrom AISI Type 316 stainless steel as standard, with Type 304 stainless steelavailable to special order.

Covers

Solid cover

Solid covers provide maximum mechanical protection for cables which havelimited heat build up. This version is supplied without a flange.

Solid flanged cover

The solid flanged cover is comparable to the solid cover, providing maximummechanical protection for cables which have limited heat build up, but alsoincludes a 1/2” flange.

Ventilated flanged cover

Ventilated flanged covers offer excellent mechanical protection whileallowing heat produced by cables to dissipate through vents in the surface.

Peaked flanged cover

Peaked covers have 15° rise at the peak, and offer mechanical protectionplus prevent accumulation of liquids on the cover (due to adverse weathercondition or accident).

Covers greater than 12” wide are available in 72” and 3 m lengths only.


Cable ladder

Covers are available for all cable ladder widths and material types,in a range of styles - solid, ventilated or peaked - for varyinginstallation needs.

Covers provide mechanical protection to cable runs and should beinstalled where falling objects may damage cables or where verticalcable ladder run is accessible by pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Outside cable ladder runs should be covered with a peaked flanged cover toprotect cable from adverse weather conditions.
