Overview

The Panduit PWBTB18BL Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket is a metal cable management solution specifically designed for the overhead support of 18-inch wide Wire Basket cable trays. This Trapeze Bracket is engineered to facilitate the secure and stable mounting of these wire baskets within comprehensive cable routing systems. The primary function of the PWBTB18BL is to provide robust support for the 18-inch wide Wire Basket, ensuring its integrity and the organized management of the cables it contains. The hardware required for attaching the bracket to the supporting structure is not included with the bracket itself and must be acquired separately. This means that users will need to procure appropriate screws, bolts, or anchors to complete the installation. The Panduit PWBTB18BL Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket is supplied and sold in packages containing two units. This packaging configuration is intended to provide multiple support points for a single wire basket or to equip users with the necessary quantity for supporting multiple wire baskets in a given installation. The design of the trapeze bracket is crucial for its function in cable routing systems, offering a method to suspend and support the wire basket from above.
