Metal cable trunking is an enclosed, solid-wall cable management system with a removable cover. It protects cables from dust, debris, and accidental contact, keeps wiring tidy, and still allows cables to be added or changed later by simply removing the lid. It is used for wiring protection in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and solar installations, and is available in several metals and finishes to suit the environment.
Key Features
- Enclosed protection: solid walls and a cover shield cables from dust, debris, and physical damage
- Tidy appearance: a closed profile keeps cable runs neat, which suits exposed surface-mounted routes
- Easy access: the removable cover allows cables to be installed, inspected, and changed without dismantling the run
- Strong metal construction: rigid steel or aluminum body holds its shape along the run
- Complete system: compatible bends, tees, couplers, and supports are available
Materials and Finishes
- Hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG): for outdoor, humid, and industrial environments
- Pre-galvanized steel: for indoor, dry locations at lower cost
- Zinc-aluminum-magnesium (ZAM) coated steel: enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding environments
- Powder-coated steel: where color or appearance matters
- Aluminum alloy: lightweight and corrosion resistant
- Stainless steel: for severe corrosive environments
- Fire-resistant steel: for routes that need fire protection
Cable Trunking or Cable Tray?
| Cable Trunking | Cable Tray | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Enclosed, with a cover | Open, perforated, or ladder style |
| Protection | Higher; shields cables from dust and contact | Lower; cables stay exposed |
| Ventilation | Limited | Better |
| Best for | Surface-mounted wiring, tidy exposed runs, smaller cable counts | Large cable counts and long main routes |
