Wire Mesh Cable Tray Overview

What Is a Wire Mesh Cable Tray?

A wire mesh cable tray, also called a basket cable tray, is a type of cable containment system with an open grid frame formed from interwoven steel or stainless-steel wires. 

This open-wire cable support is used to carry, support, route, protect, and organize wires and cables.

In English, this system is commonly known as a “wire basket tray” or “basket cable tray”.

8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question 1: What is a wire mesh cable tray?

  • Answer: A wire mesh cable tray, or basket cable tray, is a cable support system made from round steel wires welded into a mesh and formed into a U-shaped channel. It manages, protects, and ventilates power and data cables in buildings and industrial facilities.

Question 2: When should wire mesh cable tray be used instead of enclosed cable trunking?

  • Answer: Use a wire basket tray where cables generate significant heat, such as power cables, or where high hygiene is required, such as food plants. The open structure maximizes ventilation and simplifies cleaning and periodic cable inspection.

Question 3: What are the most common materials for the basket tray systems?

  • Answer: Common materials include electro-galvanized steel, hot-dip galvanized steel for outdoor environments, and 304/316 stainless steel for chemical and food-processing environments.

Question 4: What are the key advantages of 304 stainless-steel wire mesh cable tray?

  • Answer: 304 stainless-steel wire mesh cable tray offers excellent corrosion resistance, high durability, an attractive bright finish, and reliable rust resistance in humid or chemical environments.

Question 5: What is the standard spacing between wire mesh cable tray supports?

  • Answer: Support spacing is typically 1.5m to 2m, depending on the internal cable load, to prevent excessive deflection.

Question 6: Does a wire mesh cable tray require grounding?

  • Answer: Yes. For electrical safety and signal-noise control, a metal basket tray system must be bonded and grounded in accordance with applicable electrical standards.

Question 7: What are the common wire mesh cable tray sizes?

  • Answer: Common sizes include heights of 50mm and 100mm, widths from 50mm to 600mm, and a standard section length of 3m.

Question 8: Why are wire mesh cable trays preferred in data centers?

  • Answer: Data centers have dense network-cable layouts. An open-wire cable support enables flexible routing, makes cables easy to add or remove without structural work, and provides excellent heat dissipation.
