Thickened Cable Tray Tee

A thickened cable tray tee is a reinforced connector, typically 2.0mm thick, used to branch cable runs into three directions while ensuring durability and proper ventilation.

Overview

A thickened cable tray tee is designed to connect three cable tray sections at perpendicular angles, allowing organized distribution of cables in electrical installations. These tees are available in equal or unequal dimensions to accommodate different tray widths and layouts . They are particularly useful in heavy-duty or high-load applications where standard thickness trays may not provide sufficient strength.

Material and Construction

• Materials: Mild steel (pre-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized), stainless steel (grade 1.4404 / 316L), and powder-coated steel .
• Thickness: Typically 2.0mm, providing enhanced structural integrity and load-bearing capacity .
• Design: Perforated for airflow, which helps prevent cable overheating and extends cable lifespan .
• Side Height and Width: Common dimensions include 75mm side height with widths ranging from 600mm to 750mm, depending on the manufacturer .

Features and Benefits

• Ventilation: Perforations allow air circulation, reducing heat buildup in cable runs.
• Durability: Thickened steel construction supports heavier cable loads and resists deformation.
• Flexibility: Available in various sizes and configurations, including equal and unequal tees, to fit different cable tray systems .
• Ease of Installation: Designed for quick integration into existing cable tray networks without cutting or welding.

Applications

Thickened cable tray tees are widely used in:

• Industrial and commercial electrical installations
• Data centers and server rooms
• Power distribution networks
• Any environment requiring organized, ventilated, and durable cable routing

Ordering Considerations

When ordering, specify:

• Widths: W1 x W2 x W3 for unequal tees
• Material and finish: Pre-galvanized (PG), hot-dip galvanized (HDG), or stainless steel (SS)
• Side height and thickness: Ensure compatibility with existing trays and load requirements By selecting a thickened cable tray tee, installers ensure both mechanical strength and proper cable management, reducing maintenance and improving safety in electrical systems.
