Overview

The Panduit PWBWFNR2PG is a pre-galvanized steel waterfall designed for industrial cable pathways, specifically engineered to manage cable bend radius while ensuring protection and compliance. The 1.6" (41mm) narrow waterfall design features a 2-inch bend radius for cables exiting the bottom of the pathway, preventing sharp bends that could compromise cable integrity. Its snap-on design eliminates the need for hardware, allowing for in-line or through-bottom sidewall installation without additional fasteners. The waterfall easily snaps onto the basket, securing cables while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance. Constructed from pre-galvanized steel, it delivers corrosion resistance for long-term durability in harsh environments, including industrial, commercial, and outdoor applications. The compact 1.6" size ensures compatibility with standard cable pathway systems, including Panduit’s basket designs, while occupying minimal space. The pre-galvanized finish provides a cost-effective balance of corrosion protection and performance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. This waterfall is ideal for applications requiring precise cable routing, such as data centers, manufacturing floors, telecommunications facilities, and commercial buildings. The snap-on mounting type simplifies installation, reducing labor time and eliminating the need for tools or additional components. By maintaining proper bend radius, the PWBWFNR2PG helps prevent signal degradation, cable damage, and downtime in critical infrastructure. Its design adheres to industry standards for cable management, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

How to Install Panduit Wire Basket Bottom Waterfalls (PWBWFNR2** Series)

This guide provides instructions for installing Panduit PWBWFNR2** series wire basket bottom waterfalls in both parallel and perpendicular configurations. It covers compatibility, proper positioning, and securing the waterfall to a wire basket, along with best practices for cable management.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

No specialized tools

Supplies needed:

Panduit Wire Basket (e.g., PWB2X12**, PWB2X6** series), Hook and loop fasteners (optional, for cable management), Cable ties (optional, for cable management)

  1. Determine Installation Direction and Compatibility

    Consult the 'WIRE BASKET WIDTH INSTALLATION DIRECTION' chart provided in the documentation to determine if your PWBWFNR2** bottom waterfall should be installed parallel or perpendicular to your specific wire basket width. Additionally, verify compatibility using the 'WIRE BASKET AND BOTTOM WATERFALL COMPATIBILITY CHART' to ensure the waterfall is suitable for your wire basket.

  2. Position the Bottom Waterfall

    Align the PWBWFNR2** bottom waterfall with the wire basket according to the determined installation direction (parallel or perpendicular). Ensure the waterfall is correctly oriented to allow cables to flow smoothly and that the attachment points are aligned with the wire basket structure.

  3. Secure the Bottom Waterfall

    Engage the clips or tabs of the bottom waterfall onto the wire basket to secure it firmly in place. Apply gentle pressure until the waterfall snaps or locks into position. Verify that the waterfall is stable, cannot be easily dislodged, and is securely attached to the wire basket.

  4. Manage Cables (Best Practice)

    As a best practice, once the bottom waterfall is installed, use hook and loop fasteners or cable ties to secure cables to the waterfalls. This ensures proper cable management, prevents strain on cables, and maintains an organized pathway for network or power cabling.
