Cable tray types and tee models

Cable tray tees are available in equal and unequal models, with a range of widths, materials, finishes, and cover options to suit light, medium, and heavy-duty applications.Types of Cable Tray TeesEqual Tees: These have all three branches of the same width and are used when the main and branch cable trays carry similar cable loads .Unequal Tees: These have a main run wider than the branch, suitable for situations where the branch carries fewer cables .Crossovers: While not strictly tees, cross pieces allow cables to branch in multiple directions and are often used in complex layouts .Materials and FinishesMild Steel: Standard material, available pre-galvanized (PG) or hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for corrosion resistance .Stainless Steel: Grade 1.4404 (316L) is available for highly corrosive environments .Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, often used in industrial or outdoor applications .Cover OptionsVentilated Covers: Allow airflow to prevent heat buildup, suitable for power and control cables .Solid Covers: Provide full protection for sensitive cables like fiber optics or instrumentation .Sizes and Load RatingsWidths typically range from 50 mm to 900 mm, accommodating light, medium, and heavy-duty cable loads .Depths and part numbers are often specified using a system like CTUT (depth)/W1/W2 (finish), where W1 and W2 represent the widths of the main and branch runs .ApplicationsUsed to branch cables from a main tray to equipment, devices, or secondary trays.Suitable for industrial, commercial, and data center installations where organized cable routing is essential .Can be integrated with ladder, perforated, solid-bottom, wire mesh, or channel trays depending on the project requirements .Key ConsiderationsDuty Rating: Select tees based on cable weight and load requirements.Environmental Conditions: Choose material and finish according to exposure to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions.Aesthetic and Safety: Solid covers improve visual appearance and protect sensitive cables, while ventilated covers enhance cooling. By selecting the appropriate type, material, finish, and cover, cable tray tees can provide flexible, durable, and safe branching solutions for any cable management system .
