Cable Management Systems London

Cable management systems (also called cable containment) provide organized, safe, and compliant routing of electrical cables in commercial and industrial buildings. Proper cable management protects cables from damage, allows for future modifications, maintains fire safety standards, and ensures installations comply with BS 7671 (18th Edition) wiring regulations.

The main types of cable containment include: Cable Tray (open flat-bottom tray with regular slots, ideal for power cables and easy access), Cable Basket (lightweight wire mesh, quick to install, perfect for data cabling), Cable Ladder (heavy-duty with side rails and rungs, used for outdoor installations and armored cables), Cable Trunking (enclosed system with removable lid, protects single cables in visible areas), and Conduit (protective tubing for individual cables in harsh environments).

London electrical distributors stock comprehensive ranges of cable management systems in various materials: Galvanized steel (standard indoor/outdoor use), Stainless steel (corrosive environments, food processing, marine), Aluminium (lightweight, good for long spans), PVC (economical, indoor use), and HDG (Hot Dip Galvanized) (heavy-duty outdoor). Systems come in standard widths from 50mm to 900mm with bends, tees, reducers, and fixing accessories for complete installations.
