Cable Tray Systems

Features & Benefits

SpecMate Center Spine Cable Tray is an easily installed cable support system designed with many unique features toprovide safety, reliability and flexibility for future expansion.

Removable, replaceable and interchangeable rungs, unique pivotconnectors and field modifiable fittings combine to allow installersto easily maneuver around unforeseen obstructions and suddenchanges in elevation. In order to reduce installation time, each trayalso comes with preassembled couplings. Never before hashanging cable tray been so easy!

SpecMate Center Spine Cable Tray can be used to construct acomplete FiberReady® cable tray system with controlled 2" [51mm]nominal bend radius that meets the specifications for fiber optic andUTP/STP cabling and exceeds TIA 569 requirements forcommunications pathways. Designed for use in retrofit, new orexisting applications. Specify SpecMate Cable Tray and FiberReadyfittings, available only from Wiremold.

■ Complete FiberReady system, including FiberReady 2"[51mm] Fiber Optic radiused fittings. Install a completeFiberReady Cable Tray System, through the use of SpecMateFiberReady Field and Flo-Thru Tees, Crosses, Horizontal andVertical Pivot Connectors. These fittings provide a 2" [51mm]cable bend radius and exceed the recommendations of TIA/EIA568-A. WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Removable, replaceable and interchangeable rungs provideflexibility. Unique screw-in rungs can be removed andreplaced with longer rungs for future expansion or modificationwithout removing the cables, allowing for true cablemanagement. Rungs can also easily be removed in the field to avoid obstacles. WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Standard 1" [25mm] wide rungs provide the widest cablelaying surface available. Provides support surface for fiberoptic and communication cabling which can be damaged bycold flow cable insulation degradation under load. When this is not a concern, 5/8" [16mm] wide SRA Series rungs areavailable. WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Extruded rungs provide direct connection for accessories.1" [25mm] A Series rungs are extruded with internal screwthreads to accept rung mounted accessories like conduitadaptors and cable dropouts. WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Preassembled splice connector. A splice connector isprovided, preassembled to the tray, to facilitate installation.WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Center lines are provided as drilling guides. All spines and fittings are designed with center alignment marks to make adding screw holes easy in the field.

■ Rungs are factory fitted with protective plastic caps. Allrungs are capped to prevent damage to cables and injury to the installer. WIREMOLD EXCLUSIVE FEATURE!

■ Tray, rungs and fittings are available factory painted in awide variety of colors and textures. Can be used to enhancethe aesthetics of any installation or allow for visualdifferentiation between cable runs.

■ 3" [76mm] center spine serves as a barrier betweenservices. The 3" [76mm] spine serves as a barrier separatingone channel of the tray from the other when used with 3"[76mm] rungs. Spine extenders are available for use with 4"and 6" [102mm and 152mm] rungs as well as dividers toprovide barriers within each channel.

■ Center Spine Cable Tray:• Installs in half the time of conventional ladder tray.• Can be loaded from sides of tray in most cases.• Uses half the hanging and joining material of conventional

ladder tray.• Allows for full cable visibility and requires less space for

access. Can be hung as close to ceiling as code allows.

1" [25mm] wide rungs, unique to Wiremold, provide the widest cable laying surface available. These removable, replaceable andinterchangeable rungs allow for easy field modification, futureexpansion and true cable management.

Custom lengths, widths, heights are easily accommodated. For configurations not shown please consult the factory.

SpecMate Center Spine Cable Tray Product Selection Guide

NOTE: Each section of tray is shipped with one splice connector and necessary hardware.* The height of the center spine is 3" [76mm]. If the spine is being used as a divider, a

spine extender is needed to maintain full separation between channels on 4" [102mm]and 6" [152mm] deep tray. For 4" [102mm] deep tray use “0801ASPX”. For 6" [152mm] deep tray, use “0803ASPX”.

** When ordering a tray 18" [457mm] in width or larger the use of a stiffener bar should be considered to stabilize eccentric loading. Measured at inside of rungs.

When designing, specifying or installing a cable tray system, please consider the following (from the Canadian Electrical Code,Appendix B 12-2202):

a. Allowance for wind and snow loading should be included within the maximum design load.b. Some fittings (particularly horizontal elbows) may require additional support depending on the loading.

Per NEMA Standard Publication VE-1, Cable Tray is designed as a support for power or control cables, or both, and is notintended or designed to be a walkway for personnel. The user is urged to display appropriate warnings against the use of thissupport as a walkway. Each section of tray has a warning label.

Several Cable Tray fittings require that a “fitting radius” bespecified upon ordering. It is not necessary that this “fittingradius” match the width of the cable tray being used. Rather,

the “fitting radius” must be sized to accommodate the bend radiusand stiffness of the cables that will be run in the system and must beequal to or greater than the cable manufacturer’s recommendedminimum bend radius for the largest cable anticipated to beinstalled in the cable tray. When several cables are to be installedin the same cable tray run, consider a larger “fitting radius” to easecable installation. Consult the cable manufacturer for theirrecommended minimum bend radius for each individual cable.PLEASE NOTE: The overall physical dimensions of a Cable TrayFitting increase dramatically as the specified “fitting radius” of a cable tray fitting increases. This factor, as well as cost, makesthe selection of the smallest acceptable “fitting radius” the mostdesirable. When larger radius fittings are required, the entire cable tray system layout must be designed to allow adequatespace. Please consult the factory for further details.
