Tray Installations

The placement of cables, ducts, and conduits can be done using cable trays – for both outside plant (OSP) and interior spaces (ISP). This allows cables and ducts to be installed quickly and readily accessed for maintenance, adding more cables/ducts, or fast removal.

INSTALLING DUCT OR MICRODUCT PATHWAYS IN OSP TRAYS

Both conventional HDPE duct and FuturePath MicroDucts must be black and UV-rated for OSP environments, which typically have a 20+ year service life expectation. HDPE duct products should not be fastened tightly to the tray sides or cross-supports so as to allow normal expansion and contraction to freely occur. For organizing purposes, the duct or FuturePath MicroDuct can be secured to the tray using loose-fitting clamps, outdoor-rated cable ties, or Velcro straps.

INTERIOR TRAY PATHWAY INSTALLATION

In facilities having a sizable IT cable infrastructure, such as a data center or large commercial facility, solid bottom and wire trays are often used. Since most trays are intended for multi-media use – sharing the same space with CAT cables, optical and copper telco cables – when installing HDPE ducts or MicroDucts, care must be taken to not cross-over any of the existing media. When transitioning in or out of the tray, it is best to route the duct products from the underside of the tray, if possible.

MicroDuct is bundled into an easy-to-handle unit known as FuturePath. FuturePath can be installed just like standard duct: open trench, aerial, directional drilled, plowed, or pulled into an existing conduit. When branching individual MicroDucts, there is no need for a special branching box. No special tools or equipment are required for installation.

MicroDucts are a great way of getting the most versatility out of your current empty duct system. Why install one fiber cable when you could install multiple MicroDucts? Each MicroDuct is a pathway for fiber now or in the future. Expand your network as your needs require.
