Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Tray Routing System Fast...Strong...
Reduce Installation Costs, Maximize Cable Protection Panduit’s Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI): a Guiding Approach A unified approach to physical and logical systems architecture is imperative for solutions to fully address the need for availability, agility, integration, and security.
Fast The Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Tray Routing System has been proven to reduce labor costs by 50% when benchmarked against existing wire basket and ladder rack systems. ® Strong The Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Tray Routing System has been validated through both analytical and physical testing to meet industry standards for allowable deflection. In a high density application a fully loaded 24" wide Wyr-Grid® Pathway will need to support 50 lbs./ft. of cable.
Typical Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Tray System Data Center Application The Wyr-Grid® System is configured to route and protect cabling between the Main Distribution Area (MDA) or Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) and the Equipment Distribution Areas (EDA). Key product features significantly reduce installation time, enhance cable management and improve user safety.
Wyr-Grid® Splice Connectors install by hand, without the use of special tools, unlike other systems. Wyr-Grid® Pathways are easily bonded by simply tightening down the integral screw, unlike other systems that require loose hardware. No sidewall cutting at intersections. Intersection bend radius control requires no tools, cutting, or hardware. When cutting is called for, there are fewer wires to cut.
Typical Wyr-Grid® Overhead Cable Tray System and FiberRunner ® Cable Routing System Data Center Application The cable routing systems are configured to route and protect cabling between the Main Distribution Area (MDA) or Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) and the Equipment Distribution Area (EDA). This complete overhead pathway solution enables both copper and fiber cables to be effectively routed within the data center.
Trapeze brackets are supplied with integral slide clips for securing the pathway in place, eliminating loose hardware. In addition, trapeze bracket design allows side to side pathway positioning increasing installation adjustability. Seamless Integration of Wyr-Grid® and FiberRunner® Systems Brackets allow FiberRunner ® 4x4, 6x4, 12x4, and 24x4 Pathways to be supported at any height above or below the Wyr-Grid® System. This installation utilizes the same threaded rod to support both systems.
