Introducing CABLE-RACE™

It is a new system for complete support for the cables that connect instrumentation and controls from the same company that you rely on for quality tube support. CABLE-RACE™ is part Cable Tray and part Raceway. It gives you the outdoor, industrial durability of Cable Tray while providing efficient adaptability and quick installation like Raceway.

Our new system is a little bit of both cable routing methods. It is the best of both. Just like cable tray and just like our 50-year, proven TUBETRACK® support system, CABLE-RACE™ matches the strength and toughness required for outdoor, industrial-atmosphere process plant installations. The channels are strong. The tees and turns are strong. The covers, clamps, and hardware are also designed for strength and manufactured to the quality standards of the entire system. Just like TUBETRACK®, you can expect our new system to perform for decades in most all industrial environments.

However, CABLE-RACE™ is more flexible and more adaptable than our established designs which are mostly for support of metal tubing. It installs faster and makes the job of retrofitting cable runs through and around existing equipment easier, and ultimately neater. The difference begins with adjustable bends. These fittings give you the degree of bend you need at each turn in the cable run. They are easy to adjust and can be placed in a very short amount of time. These bend fittings tighten down and lock solid creating a continuous support structure. No time is lost adding additional brackets to shore up a weak point. Adjustable bends let your support installation flow like the cables they hold.

But adjustable bend fittings are just the beginning. CABLE-RACE™ also offers turn fittings in a middle-sized, 6-inch radius bend. These fittings are simple and low cost, but they combine a lot of strength with a curve that is safe for many popular Low-Volt and Fiber-Optic cables.

The CABLE-RACE™ system and our TUBETRACK® system are completely interchangeable. All of the parts of each system are designed to fit together. You can order and use CABLE-RACE™ adjustable bends with TUBETRACK channels and even with tube support applications. You can mix TUBETRACK® and CABLE-RACE™ fittings in a single installation run. Furthermore, all clamps can be used in both systems. More components will be added to the CABLE-RACE™ product line on a consistent schedule. Look for announcements of these new items in the CABLE-RACE™ and “News” sections of this website.

CABLE-RACE™ is a Cable Tray. It is a ventilated bottom, Channel-type Cable Tray. All channel sizes are classified by Underwriter’s Laboratories as to their cross-sectional area. Channels and connecting fittings may be installed in accordance with NEMA Standard VE 2-2000, and NEC-2002 Article 392. In general, CABLE-RACE™ is designed for isolations of signal, data, and communication cables typical of industrial instrument and control connection.
