Flextray - Technical Data

(cont.)

1. Use the recommended quantity of UL Classified splices to connect sections and at

places where the tray is cut.
2. Run an appropriately sized ground wire alongside the tray and attach it to each tray
section and on both sides of a cut in the tray. (This method is recommended by
NEMA VE-2 Installation Manual.)

* Published load chart has not been tested with Flexmate splice. Please consult the factory for load information when using the

Flexmate option.
** Flextray fill capacity is based on NEC allowable fill of 50%. The NEC rule requires that the cable cross-sectional areas together

may not exceed 50% of the tray area (width x depth = fill). Cables will nearly completely fill the cable tray when reaching the
50% cable fill, due to empty space between the surface of the cables. TIA recommends 40% fill ratio. Flextray loads shown in
the loading chart will not be exceeded at 50% fill.
*** CAT 5e 4-pr non-plenum approximated at .21 in. diameter, CAT 6 4-pr non-plenum approximated at .25 in. diameter. Actual

diameters vary by cable manufacturer.
