What are the benefits of using optical fiber raceway?

The design of fiber optic cable tray is easy to install and maintain, and it offers enhanced flexibility in routing and protecting fiber optic cable assemblies. It is made of durable, environmentally-friendly materials that minimize the risk of fire.

The raceway system can reduce the number of assembly tools required for cable management by 50 percent. It also routes optical fiber cables safely and securely between equipment racks. It also features a quick snap system for easy installation. It comes in six sizes and can be installed under floors or above equipment racks. The raceway system is flexible in terms of mounting options, allowing you to install it in an area with limited space.

Another benefit of using an optical fiber raceway is that it protects the fiber optics from external interference. Since fiber optics are extremely sensitive and are often vulnerable to breakage, it is critical to protect them as much as possible from these threats. This technology offers highly modular functionality and reduces the possibility of damage to fiber optics, which makes it an ideal choice for data transmission systems.

Nonconductive optical fiber cables can also be installed in raceways alongside electrically-conducting cable. There are no special requirements for nonconductive optical fiber cables in raceways. The same applies to power conductors. Nonconductive optical fiber cables are the most flexible of all cables, and can be easily installed even in confined spaces.

Direct-buried conductive optical fiber cables are generally not separated from electric service conductors. These cables are buried in the ground, with a metal cable armor. Direct-buried optical fiber cables should be at least 300 mm (12 in.) apart from Class I or Class II circuit conductors.
