Brief Introduction of Wire Mesh Cable Tray Systems:
Wire Meshl Cable Tray is produced from high mechanical strength steel wires of up to 6mm. These are thicker and therefore stronger than apparently similar products. Cablofil incorporates a unique T welded safety edge resulting in performance comparable with traditional cable tray but with many added benefits.
Mesh cable trays are used extensively for data cables and low voltage installations, steel wire tray has become increasingly popular with installers thanks to its ease of use, flexibility and lightweight structure. They are appropriate for Sensitive cables such as control cables, optical cables, telecommunication cables, etc.
Features and Benefits of Wire Mesh Cable Trays:
1. Electroplated Zinc Finish
2. Fast Easy Installation
3. Mesh Design Allows Cable Exit or Entry at any point
4. Clear Cable Identification
5. Supplied in 3 Metre Lengths
6. Significant Cost Savings Compared to Standard Tray Products
7. Simple Creation of Fittings on Site
8. Wide Range of Sizes
9. Heights Shown are Internal Dimensions10.Good looking
Manufacturing:
Optional Material: Black Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Alloy, Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Mode: Top curved / Top Straight
Surface Finish: Zinc-plating, Hot-dip Galvanizing (HDG), Powder-coated, Pickled & Passivated.
Color: Optional
We are able to design styles in various specifications according to the drawings and/or samples by the clients.
Suggestions:
1). MATERIAL
The choice of materials is a matter of the physical and mechanical properties produced by each, compared against the intended function, as well as the environment, in which the trays are to be installed.
2). SURFACE FINISH:
A). Zinc-plating cable trays are suitable for indoor use. The place where cold zinc-plating cable trays would work should be dry, ventilated, and corrosion free.
B). Hot-dip Galvanizing (HDG) cable trays are not suggested for wire mesh cable trays.
C). Powder-coated cable trays should be carried out in alkali and salt corrosion free site.
D). Pickled & Passivated should be used to stainless steel wire trays.
Specification for power and communications cabling containment.

3). SPECIFICATION
a). Steel Wire Cable Tray will be produced from lateral and longitudinal sidewall steel wires, with minimum diameters of -:
4 mm for trays of widths up to 150mm
4.5 mm for trays of widths of 200mm
5.0 mm for trays of widths of 300mm
6.0 mm for trays of widths of 400mm, 450mm, 500mm and 600mm
b). Trays will be manufactured with a longitudinal 'T-welded' safety edge along the top wire of the sidewall (excluding CF3050)
c). Trays will be constructed with a 50mm x 100mm mesh configuration.
d). All tray fittings (e.g. changes in direction, level and size) shall be constructed on site, to the manufacturers instructions, using side action bolt croppers and fastened using 25mm and 30mm counter clamps with M6 bolts and nuts, all surface treated as the tray.
e). Trays will be coupled together using either a fast spring coupler or a 25mm/30mm counter clamp combination with supporting lateral splice plate on trays over 300mm width. The coupling will have the same surface finish as the tray.
f). Trays shall be supported at a maximum span of 2.5m by trapeze, wall, floor or channel mounting methods and will not exceed maximum loads as specified by the manufacturer.
g). All welds will be manufactured to an average minimum tensile strength of 500Kg per weld.
4. TESTS, CERTIFICATION AND CONFORMITY
a). Loading and deflection characteristics of the tray should be tested and the results published in accordance with the European Standard CEI/61537.
b). Suitability for the support of Cat6 data cabling should be demonstrated by way of independent test verification.
c). Fire test certification should be published in accordance with the E30/E90 standard.
d). Electrical continuity across a coupling should be demonstrated by means of a published test method and result.
