Our Technical Series white papers are studies of technical issues, written by respected industry professionals, that faces the wire cable tray segment of the electrical market.   Tried & Tested Cablofil completes testing of cable tray with Intertek Testing Services The objective of the test program was to examine the short term and long term effects, if any, on Cablofil cable tray containing the total weight of Category 5e and Category 6 cables together with any subsequent effect this might have.   Testing Process During the test, 300 foot lengths of Category 5e and Category 6 test cable were placed in Cablofil cable tray, subject to zero load and tested to the requirements of TIA/EIA-568A Draft II (TSB-95) and TIA/EIA-568-B-2-1 Draft respectively.   Nuclear Facility Vibration Study Cablofil is often installed on machines that generate substantial vibrations. It seemed desirable for us to fix the limits of our product regarding this utilization, especially since in the nuclear field, our cable path is required to withstand 2 or 3 g of acceleration for 30 to 45 seconds at a frequency of 15 Hz. No abnormal results were found following these tests. No rupturing was found even in the most stressed areas.   Cost Comparison: Cablofil Tray vs. J-Hook Assembly A Cost Comparison study was conducted based on 150' runs. Study was authored by Mr. Andrew Urquhart, RCDD, who has been involved with network design and integration for the past 20 years.   Cost Comparison: Cablofil Tray vs. Ladder Tray, Wishbone Tray, and Conduit Systems Installations. Cost is typically a factor when considering a new approach to design materials. This study explores several different types of cable tray systems as well as a conduit system. Cost study includes materials, shipping, weight/costs, and installation. Study was based on 3000 metres of tray.
