Overview
Solid-bottom tray — called cable trunking on most Egyptian sites — encloses cables completely once the cover is fitted. Consultants specify it for fire-alarm, low-current and instrumentation circuits, for exposed runs where debris can fall onto cables, and wherever two systems must run side by side without mixing.
The trunking shares the widths, heights and fittings geometry of the perforated range, so a project can switch between the two along a route. A full-length divider can be added to carry power and data in one body, and drain holes can be punched for outdoor runs.
Key features
- Full enclosure with flanged, clip-on cover
- Optional full-length divider for power / data separation
- Same fittings geometry as the perforated range
- Smooth inner surface for long cable pulls
- Drain holes on request for outdoor use
Applications
Where it is used
- Fire-alarm and life-safety circuits
- Data, CCTV and low-current systems
- Exposed runs in car parks and loading areas
- Hospital corridors and clean areas

Load data
Safe working loads and support spans will be published after type testing to IEC 61537. Until then, support spacing follows the project specification; our engineers can advise on typical spans for your cable load.

FAQ
Questions engineers ask us
Can I mix trunking and perforated tray on one route?
Yes. Widths, heights and splice holes are identical, so the same splice plates join both.
Do I need a cover on every length?
Trunking is designed to be covered. The cover is ordered separately as TS-CV in the same width.
Installation
Installation notes
- Set out and fix supportsTrapeze hangers or cantilever arms on the route line; add a support within 600 mm of each fitting.
- Lay straight sectionsKeep splice joints near supports, away from mid-span.
- Join with splice platesOne plate each side, M6 round-head bolts with heads inside the tray; tighten flange nuts.
- Lay cables and fit coversTie cables to the base slots; clip covers every metre where specified.
- Earth bondingBond the run to earth where the project specification requires it.
