Does Ausvigor manufacture clips or some other method of mounting raceways, without using sticky tape?
A: Raceways can be installed with screws on drywall or wood by drilling directly through the raceway without the need for pre-drilling.
How many Category 5 cables can fit into a 0.75 inch raceway, a 1.25 inch raceway, and a 1.75 inch raceway?
A: Category 5 cables may vary in diameter, depending on the manufacturer. Cables will also vary in diameter depending on whether they are plenum or non-plenum. Therefore, trying to identify a specific number is not the best method of determining raceway capacity. According to TIA/EIA-569-A (Section 4.7.3.2), the practical capacity for telecommunications cabling in perimeter raceways ranges from 20% to 40% fill depending on cable-bending radius. The pathway size shall be calculated as follows: the summation of the cross-sectional area of all cables divided by the percent (expressed as a decimal fraction) of fill.
What is a surface raceway, and where is it most commonly used?
A: Ausvigor’s Surface Raceway is an adhesive-backed non-metallic channel used to route, conceal, and, protect network data cabling. A raceway can be designed to meet virtually any configuration by using a variety of channels, covers, reducers, end caps, elbows, tee’s, and ceiling entry channel with clips. The most common use of raceways is to provide an esthetically pleasing way to route cables along walls made of brick or solid masonry (where routing cable inside a wall is not possible). Raceways are also used where cabling moves occur often.
What are the advantages of non-metallic raceways over metallic?
A: Non-metallic raceways are lightweight, durable, easy to cut, resist and conceal dents, chips and scratches, conform to irregular surfaces, are non-conductive, and have the lowest installed cost.
What are the benefits of the RoHS Directive?
A: The extraction and disposal of hazardous raw materials can cause damage to both the environment and to human health. The removal and or reduction of these types of materials at the production level will help reduce health risks associated with exposure and especially so for children and the elderly and pregnant women.
Can non-metallic raceways be painted to match a specific décor?
A: Ausvigor’s Raceway Systems can be easily painted after lightly abrading the surface (or priming the surface), then covering the raceway with a quality Latex-based paint of your choice.
What is affected by RoHS?
A: RoHS will affect anyone who manufactures in the European Union (EU) and sells electrical and electronic equipment under their own brand. It will also affect resellers in the European Union (EU) who sell products under their own brand or products produced by other suppliers.
How many cables can fit inside of the raceway conduits?
