- Description
- The Unistrut U15 Extra Heavy Duty Cable Ladder is a structural steel cable management component designed to support and route electrical or communications cables in fixed installations. The U15 series is characterised by 150 mm high side rails with welded transverse rungs forming an open ladder-type structure. The ladder provides mechanical support for cable runs and allows cables to be laid across the rungs and secured as required. The U15 range is classified as extra heavy duty, intended for installations requiring higher load capacity and long support spans (e.g 3 meter straight lengths). The ladders are manufactured from steel with welded rungs and supplied in hot-dip galvanised finish for corrosion protection. In the intended installation, the ladder is used as a fixed support structure to route communications and power cables between a communications equipment shelter and the pedestal of an antenna reflector. The product performs a passive mechanical support function only and does not contain electrical or electronic components. The ladder will be shipped fixed to a flat rack container.
