Datatray Basic Construction

Datatray Basket The basic construction of the cable containment systems is a heavy duty cable basket that is constructed from a strong 5mm wire throughout in a 50mm x 50mm grid. The wires running in both the horizontal and lateral direction to provide maximum support of the cable without impeding access to the cable or cooling air cross flow. Our construction also allows longer, unsupported, spans than the more standard, lighter duty, cable baskets available for electrical cabling.

By adopting the 50x50mm grid, widths and heights can be manufactured to your requirements with side wall heights ranging from 50mm up to an access 500mm and widths of over 1000mm.

The surface treatment of the cable basket system is pre-galvanised, this limits the possibility of stray zinc spurs being released into the airflow.  If after risk assessments of the proposed installation, an additional treatment of lacquer can be applied to the cable basket after manufacture to prevent all risk of these spurs growing.

All fittings for the cable containments system shall be factory made to maintain the highest levels of quality alleviate the potential for sharp uncut edges within the containment zone. The factory made fitting will provided the correct bending radii for the designated cables.

Each joint shall be earth bonded using tinned copper earth braids the total system shall be elevated from the floor by a minimum of 25mm.

Cable Accessories

In addition to the cable support systems a large range of accessories are catered for to provide suitable fixings, for conduit take off plates, commando sockets and other switch plate outlets.
