Choose Right Length for Wire Basket Cable Trays

As per NEMA VE 1, Metal Cable Tray Systems, cable tray typical lengths, not including connectors, are:
(a) 3m ± 5mm (10 ft ± 3/16 in.);
(b) 3.66m ± 5mm (12 ft ± 3/16 in.);
(c) 6m ± 9mm (20 ft ± 5/16 in.); and
(d) 7.32m ± 9mm (24 ft ± 5/16 in.).

Actually, we rarely have clients use 3.66m and 7.32m long cable basket trays. Very few clients would use 6m long basket trays. But the 6m length would cause many issues. Firstly, 6m long cable trays is difficult to do galvanizing. Most electrical galvanizing pools are not long enough to lay in very long cable trays. Secondly, they cannot be lifted by a forklift since manufacturing to warehouse stocking. Thirdly, they will be not flexible for transportation nor installation, as they are too heavy and too long.

Powder Coated Cable Basket Tray

Powder coated cable basket tray is widely used in data centers and server rooms. It can keep tray color same as server racks’.  That is one advantage of black powder coated basket trays. From my point of view, the biggest advantage of powder coated cable basket trays is color. We can manage cables more efficiently by using different colors.

Powder coated finishing also has some disadvantages. For example, the plastic coating is more easlily to get scratched. It would require separation of each piece. Thus more packaging material shall be used which is not environmentally friendly. And we recommend customers to choose powder coating after zinc galvanized. This could get rid of partial rusting after powder coating scratched. Another disadvantage of powder coated cable basket is grounding.[……]
