vertical outside 90 cable tray

1. Product Summary

Essential for Vertical Transitions: The Secure 90-Degree Turn

The Vertical Outside 90 Cable Tray is a precision-engineered fitting designed to facilitate a secure, smooth, and code-compliant 90-degree vertical turn in cable tray runs. It enables cables to transition efficiently between horizontal and vertical planes (or between vertical risers) while protecting cable integrity, maintaining proper bend radius, and ensuring a continuous support path. Fabricated from high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, it provides robust mechanical strength and seamless integration with straight ladder or trough tray sections. This component is critical for riser shafts, mezzanine levels, equipment racks, and any installation requiring a change in elevation with a defined right-angle turn.

2. Product Description

The Cornerstone of Organized Vertical Cable Routing

The Vertical Outside 90 (or Vertical Rise Elbow) is a fundamental component in a complete cable tray system, solving the challenge of guiding cables up walls, down into equipment pits, or around structural obstructions at a perfect right angle. Its "outside" designation refers to the radius of the turn being on the external side of the bend, creating a sweeping, gradual arc that prevents cables from being bent too sharply against an inside corner—a common cause of cable damage and signal degradation.

Core Advantages:

• Protects Cable Integrity: The large, radiused design ensures all cables, especially fiber optics and large power cables, exceed their minimum bend radius, preventing performance loss or physical damage.

• Ensures Continuous Support: Provides a smooth, uninterrupted pathway, preventing cables from sagging or being pinched at sharp corners, which simplifies cable pulling and reduces stress.

• Saves Space & Enhances Neatness: Enables a compact, organized, and professional-looking vertical transition compared to makeshift field solutions, maximizing space utilization in tight risers.

• Engineered for Strength: Manufactured to match the load rating and material of the adjoining straight trays, ensuring structural continuity and support under full load.

• Simplifies Installation: Pre-fabricated to standard or custom angles, eliminating complex on-site fabrication, saving labor time and ensuring consistency.

Key Design & Types:

• Swept Elbow Design: Features a smooth, constant-radius curve (e.g., radius equal to tray width) for optimal cable protection.

• Materials & Finishes: Available in Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel (standard for corrosion resistance), Stainless Steel (304/316 for harsh environments), and Aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant).

• Compatibility: Precisely engineered to connect seamlessly with standard ladder-type and ventilated trough cable trays of corresponding width, depth, and side rail height.

Typical Applications:

• Telecommunications & Data Center Riser Shafts

• Industrial Plants: Routing cables from overhead trays down to machinery.

• Power Distribution Rooms: Transitioning between switchgear levels.

• Water/Wastewater Facilities: Managing cable runs along walls and structures.

• Commercial High-Rises: Vertical backbone distribution.
