3. Product Description

BASIC USE
FLEXTRAY is a welded wire mesh cable management system. The open mesh permits easy tray access and provides continuous ventilation of cables installed in the tray, preventing heat buildup and accumulation of dust, bacteria and other contaminants. The system can be installed on walls, ceilings and under access floors. It can be side supported or center hung. A continuous ground conductor fixing system can be accomplished by the use of approved splices and bonding jumpers.

COMPOSITION & MATERIALS
FLEXTRAY is produced from high mechanical strength steel wire which is first welded into a net, then formed into channels to carry the cables. Covers made from pre-galvanized steel are available to protect cables. They are easily installed and can be easily lifted for maintenance activities. Splice plates in three styles made of electro galvanized steel effectively connect trays end to end.
