Cable Fill Capacities for Cove Raceway
This information is to be used as a guide in selecting the proper size raceway. The maximum amounts may vary according to
the cable installation methods, straightness of cables, etc.
Cable fill #1: Open channel
without devices.
A = 5.4 in.

Cable fill #2: Open channel
with wire retainer.
A = 5.0 in.
2
Cable fill #3: Divided channel
(power and data) with
wire retainer and divider wall.
3A = 2.4 in.

SPEC = 40% cable fill – The recommended design in cable capacity,
leaves room for future moves, adds, and changes.
MAX f
or Data = 60% cable fill – The maximum cable quantity
based on cable interweaving and packing factors.
MAX f
or Power cable fill – The maximum of electrical cables
based on UL temperature rise test.
3B = 2.4 in.
