Raceways/Trunkings and Ducts are essential solutions for organizing, protecting, and routing electrical wiring in a variety of settings, from commercial and industrial to residential applications. Designed to offer a clean, efficient, and secure way to manage cables, SR Switchgear’s raceways and trunkings provide both safety and aesthetics, making them ideal for use in data centers, office buildings, manufacturing units, and other environments where cables need to be neatly concealed and well-protected.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Material Options:
- Galvanized Iron (GI)
- Aluminum
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Stainless Steel (SS)
These materials are chosen based on the application and environmental conditions to ensure durability and longevity. For example, PVC is ideal for non-corrosive indoor environments, while galvanized iron or stainless steel options are better suited for more demanding industrial settings.
-
Design and Construction:
- Enclosed Structure: The raceways and trunkings provide complete protection for cables, safeguarding them from external damage, dust, moisture, and chemical exposure.
- Customizable Sections: Available in various sizes and lengths, raceways and trunkings can be easily tailored to fit the specific needs of your project. They are available in both standard sections and custom bends, tees, and junctions to fit complex layouts.
- Modular and Expandable: The modular design allows for easy installation and future expansion. As your system grows, additional cables can be routed without disrupting the existing infrastructure.
-
Size and Configuration:
- Widths: Available in a variety of widths, ranging from 50mm to 600mm, depending on the cable volume and type.
- Lengths: Standard lengths are typically 2500mm to 3000mm, with customizable options for specific installations.
- Depths: Varying depths ensure the raceway can accommodate different cable bundles or specific wiring configurations.
-
Durability and Protection:
- High Impact Resistance: Designed to withstand mechanical impact and offer long-term protection, especially in industrial and high-traffic areas.
- Corrosion Resistance: For outdoor or corrosive environments, materials like galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum offer enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring the longevity of the product.
- Fire Resistance: Fire-retardant PVC and other non-conductive materials can be used in sensitive applications to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
-
Aesthetic and Neat Cable Management:
- Concealed Wiring: Raceways provide a clean, organized way to route cables, keeping them out of sight and enhancing the overall appearance of the workspace or environment.
- Cable Segregation: Trunkings can come with dividers that allow for the separation of power and communication cables, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving overall system performance.
-
Easy Installation and Maintenance:
- Snap-On Covers: Most raceways and trunkings come with easy-to-install, removable snap-on covers, allowing for quick access to cables during maintenance or upgrades.
- Pre-Punched Mounting Holes: Available with pre-drilled holes, making them easy to mount on walls, ceilings, or under raised floors. The pre-punched holes simplify the installation process and reduce labor costs.
- Tool-Free Operation: Some PVC and plastic raceways can be installed without tools, using adhesive mounts or brackets for quicker installation.
-

Applications:
-
Commercial Buildings:
- Office Spaces: Conceal and manage power, data, and communication cables for computers, lighting systems, and other electrical devices, ensuring a neat and organized environment.
- Data Centers: Keep large volumes of network cables organized and easily accessible for maintenance or upgrades, while ensuring proper ventilation and protection from external damage.
-
Industrial Facilities:
- Manufacturing Units: Trunkings and raceways protect sensitive control and power cables from industrial hazards such as heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and moisture.
- Warehouses: They offer a structured way to route cables across long distances, ensuring reliable power distribution and minimizing downtime due to cable damage.
-
Residential Installations:
- In homes, raceways are commonly used to hide exposed wires along walls and floors, providing a clean, modern look and reducing the risk of tripping over loose cables.
-
Public Infrastructure:
- Airports, metro stations, and other public places use raceways to manage and protect both power and communication cables, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
Advantages:
- Enhanced Safety: By keeping cables organized and protected, raceways reduce the risk of electrical accidents, fires, or cable damage, especially in high-traffic or industrial environments.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Raceways help maintain a clean and professional appearance, particularly in commercial settings where exposed cables can detract from the overall ambiance.
