Wire Fill Capacity Charts
* Maximum wire fill capacity is stated per single compartment for power or total of both compartments when used
only as a power raceway.
** 20% cable fill is calculated to approximate reduction in cable capacity due to connectors mounted within raceway
and fittings that may restrict cross sectional area.
†
40% cable fill is the maximum designed cable fill based on a proposed revision to TIA/EIA 569-A.
