Cable Management Channels

FRP cable management channels are pultruded trays, ladders, or duct systems for organizing and supporting power, control, and signaling cables in railway environments. Unlike metal trays, FRP channels are electrically insulating and immune to corrosion. They provide a continuous path for cable routing along tracks, platforms, and in tunnels. Modular accessories (bends, tees, covers) enable complex routing layouts. FRP cable trays maintain strength over long spans and allow easy mid-course addition of new cables by simply laying them onto the channel surface.

Key Features

  • Corrosion-Free FRP: Completely non-metallic, preventing rust even in saltwater or chemical-laden environments.
  • High Load Capacity: Lightweight structure yet designed to support heavy cable bundles; long spans between supports possible.
  • Open-Tray Design: Supports air circulation and water drainage around cables, reducing heat buildup.
  • Rigid Covers: Optional FRP covers lock onto tray for protection against debris, moisture, and unauthorized access.
  • Fire-Resistant Construction: Long fire stops or intumescent coatings can be applied for required flame ratings.

Benefits

  • Simplified Maintenance: Cable pulling & rerouting is easy — pull cables into position on open tray instead of through conduit.
  • Electrical Safety: Insulating material eliminates risk of short circuits or earth faults through the support structure.
  • Longevity: Withstands harsh chemicals and extreme weather with virtually no degradation; ideal for tunnels and outdoor substations.
  • UV and Thermal Stability: UV-stabilized resins keep trays stable under sun exposure; handles temperature variation without brittleness.

Applications

  • Indoor and outdoor cable support at railway signal rooms and substation panels
  • Cable raceways in tunnels and elevated guideways
  • Cable routing along platform edges and station mechanical rooms
  • Any rail electrification projects requiring secure, organized wiring

Technical Specifications

  • Material: Glass-fiber-reinforced polyester or vinylester; conductive-free
  • Sizes: Standard widths 50–200 mm, heights 20–100 mm; lengths up to 6 m
  • Accessories: Bends (90° inside/outside), Tees, Reducers, Splice plates, mounting clamps
