Introduction

Increased adaptability

Businesses must remain flexible -to be able to expand facilitiesquickly, or introduce new processesor product lines as markets dictate.

T&B perforated tray offers a majoradvantage in being highly adaptableto meet new needs and technology,with no need to replace the systemwith each new development.

Modifications or expansions areachieved quickly as cables can enteror exit the tray at any point, thuskeeping business disruption anddowntime to a minimum.

Low maintenance

Cable tray wiring systems have alower maintenance demand thanconduit or other systems.

When maintenance is necessary, it

proves easier, less labour intensive,and requires less time to complete.

Thomas & Betts perforated trayis available in four materialtypes for maximum versatility

in installation.

Aluminium(to 1050 H14)

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

simple 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 tray

in 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.

Product selection - straight section

Straight section part numbers are created using a range of selection criteria. Determine the most suitable perforated

tray type based on the parameters shown, then use the table below to create the exact part number for your needs.

IMPORTANT NOTE:When specifiying perforated tray, note that the tray width must always be greater than the

siderail height. For example, medium duty tray with 25 mm siderail can have tray widths from 50 mm to 900 mm as

per the table below, whereas for heavy duty tray with 50 mm siderail, tray width starts at 75 mm, and so on for extra

heavy duty (75 mm siderail/minimum width 100 mm) and ultra heavy duty (100 mm siderail/minimum width 150 mm).

Straight sections are available in aluminium, or steel in a range of finishes,and are supplied complete with standard coupler and tray hardware.

Channel trayIntroduction

Increased adaptability

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 cable

is 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

Thomas & Betts combines globalmarket leadership with local product& technical support, either throughour network of distributors, or via

our T&B sales office in Dubai and ourproduction facility at Dammam.

Extensive product range

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 the

Middle 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, for

maximum versatility.

Aluminium(to 6063 T6)

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

simple 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 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(to BS EN ISO 1461)

Hot dip galvanized steel tray is produced by immersing the fabricated tray in

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 channel tray is roll-formedfrom AISI Type 316 stainless steel, as standard, with Type 304 stainless steelavailable to special order.
