Why Are Cable Trays Better Than Conduit Systems?

Historically, conduits have been the go-to for distributing wires or cables. However, with the advent of more sophisticated systems, businesses and companies are rethinking this traditional option for better organisation, management, and cost savings. And when it comes to all these parameters, nothing beats the versatility and straightforwardness of cable trays.

But what are cable trays?

A cable tray system is a rigid structural framework that supports insulated electric cables for power distribution and communication. Cable trays are an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems used for commercial and industrial construction cable management.

While you may think that as one of the top cable tray manufacturers in India, we'd naturally be partial to our star product, as experts in the field, we list down solid reasons that make cable trays a better option than conduit systems:

• Trouble-free installation: Cable trays are easier to install—thanks to their unfussy and uncomplicated nature. So whether you are moving your equipment to a new place or retrofitting, you can set up cable trays faster than conduits.
• Little training: Conduit systems are complex, calling for the involvement of expert technicians who know how to measure, cut, bend, and set them. Even with a basic understanding of the wire arrangement system, a technician can install cable trays without much trouble.
• No-brainer maintenance: There is no escaping from timely care should you want your wiring system to function optimally. However, in the case of conduits, the same is easier said than done. But with cable trays, it's far less cumbersome.
• Hassle-free accessibility: One of the biggest flipsides of a conduit system is the difficulty in pinpointing faults and the exact location of the wire/cable; more often than not, one has to pull out a bunch to figure out the problem. Whereas, when it comes to cable trays, you have easy access to the cables/wires, allowing you to inspect, fix the faults or reconfigure without much ado.
• Reasonable price point: One might think that all these benefits cost an arm and a leg. But on the contrary, cable trays are just as easy on the pockets as on the eyes.
