Cable tray fixing cover method

Fiber and communications infrastructure knowledge brief Published 08 Dec 2020

Prepared for preliminary research by the ENSAA knowledge desk. Confirm optical interfaces, port or core capacity, electrical input and output, enclosure protection, thermal design and installation limits against current standards and product documentation.

Cable tray covers can be securely fixed using pressing plates, screws, buckles, padlocks, or seven-shaped buckles, depending on installation orientation and required strength.

Common Fixing Methods

Pressing Plate Fixing This method involves punching holes in the cover plate, placing a pressing plate over it, and securing both the cover and tray with screws. It is suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations and provides strong, reliable fixation. Screw Fastening The cover plate is punched, and screws or rotating plates are used to fasten it to the tray.

This method is also suitable for horizontal and vertical installations and ensures a secure, long-lasting connection. Buckle Fixing The cover plate is secured without punching by bending folds at both ends of the buckle. This method is limited in strength and is recommended only for horizontal installations, as vertical covers may slip.

Padlock Fixing Padlocks can be used to secure covers in environments where unauthorized access must be prevented. This method is particularly useful in industrial or high-security areas.

Seven-

Shaped Buckle Fixing This method uses a specially shaped buckle to lock the cover in place. It provides moderate strength and is suitable for horizontal installations where quick removal may be needed.

Best Practices for Installation

Accurate Measurement: Measure the tray and cover dimensions precisely to ensure a proper fit and avoid gaps or misalignment. Material Quality: Use high-quality, durable materials for both trays and covers to withstand environmental conditions and mechanical stress. Proper Handling: Handle covers carefully during installation to prevent damage to the tray or cables.

Compliance with Standards: Follow relevant standards such as BS EN 61537 for cable tray systems to ensure safety and reliability. System Compatibility: Use covers and trays designed to work together as a system to maintain structural integrity and prevent slippage.

Summary

Choosing the right fixing method depends on the installation orientation, required strength, and security needs. Pressing plates and screw fastening are the most versatile and secure, while buckle and seven-shaped buckle methods are suitable for horizontal installations with lighter requirements. Padlocks add security in sensitive areas.

Following proper measurement, material selection, and standard compliance ensures a safe and durable cable tray cover installation.
