Dexian Metal Products takes you to further understand the differences (application) between Trough Cable Trays and Ladder Cable Trays:

High-quality trough cable trays are mainly used for laying wires and cables with small cross-sections but large quantities. Ladder cable trays are mainly used for laying power cables with large cross-sections and small quantities.

Trough cable trays are suitable for laying computer cables, communication cables, thermocouple cables and control cables in high-sensitivity systems.

Scope of Application: Ladder cable trays are widely used in petroleum, chemical, light industry, television, telecommunications and other industries.

Cable trays are mostly used for general instruments; electrical cable trays mainly use ladder-type and tray-type. Among them, power cables generally only use ladder-type cable trays. Tray-type cable trays are generally used for laying control cables, mainly based on the heat dissipation performance of the cables.

High-Quality Trough Cable Trays

Differences (Appearance) Between Trough Cable Trays and Ladder Cable Trays:

Trough cable trays are a fully enclosed type of cable tray. Ladder cable trays generally refer to slotted trough cable trays. Due to the heat dissipation holes, the thickness of the ladder cable tray plate is thicker.

Differences (Performance) Between Trough Cable Trays and Ladder Cable Trays:

Trough cable trays are 360-degree fully enclosed, with the main functions of shielding interference and resisting corrosion. They have good effects on shielding interference of control cables and protecting cables in heavily corrosive environments.

The surface treatment of ladder cable trays can be divided into three types: galvanized, electrostatic spraying and hot-dip galvanized according to user needs, and special anti-corrosion treatment can be done in heavily corrosive environments.

The bottom of ladder cable trays is equipped with many waist-shaped holes to facilitate heat dissipation.
