Overview

The Panduit Wide Waterfall (SKU: PWBWFW5R2PG) is a tool-free snap-on accessory designed for Panduit wire mesh basket tray systems. This 4.8" (123mm) wide waterfall provides a controlled 2-inch bend radius for cables exiting the bottom of the pathway, ensuring compliance with industry standards for cable management. The wide bottom design maintains bend radius compliance across multiple basket sizes, making it ideal for parallel or perpendicular installations on 4" to 36" wire baskets. Installation is fast and consistent with no hardware required—simply snap it onto the basket in-line or through the bottom sidewall. Constructed from pre-galvanized steel, this waterfall offers durability and corrosion resistance for industrial and commercial environments. The integrated bend radius control maintains proper cable routing and alignment, preventing signal degradation and physical damage to sensitive cables. For optimal results, secure cables to the waterfall using hook and loop or cable ties. Compatible with Panduit wire basket systems, this accessory supports efficient cable egress while maintaining a clean, organized termination point. The wide waterfall design covers one entire grid opening, providing a professional finish to cable pathways.

How to Install Panduit Wire Basket Bottom Waterfalls

This guide provides instructions for installing Panduit Wire Basket Bottom Waterfalls (PWBWFW5R2** and PWBWFNR2**) in both parallel and perpendicular configurations to effectively manage cables within a wire basket system.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

None

Supplies needed:

Panduit Wire Basket Bottom Waterfall (PWBWFW5R2** or PWBWFNR2**), Hook and loop fasteners or cable ties

  1. Select Installation Orientation

    Determine the appropriate installation orientation (parallel or perpendicular) for your Panduit Wire Basket Bottom Waterfall. This decision should be based on the wire basket width and your specific cable routing requirements. Refer to the compatibility chart in the product documentation for guidance on part numbers and orientations.

  2. Install Waterfall (Parallel Orientation)

    If installing the waterfall in a parallel orientation, position the PWBWFW5R2** or PWBWFNR2** waterfall along the length of the wire basket. Securely attach the waterfall to the wire basket by clipping it firmly into place, ensuring it aligns with the parallel installation diagram provided in the product documentation.

  3. Install Waterfall (Perpendicular Orientation)

    If installing the waterfall in a perpendicular orientation, position the PWBWFW5R2** or PWBWFNR2** waterfall across the width of the wire basket. Securely attach the waterfall to the wire basket by clipping it firmly into place, ensuring it aligns with the perpendicular installation diagram provided in the product documentation.

  4. Secure Cables

    Once the waterfall is securely installed, route your cables over the waterfall. Following best practices, use hook and loop fasteners or cable ties to secure the cables to the waterfall. This ensures proper cable management, prevents sagging, and provides strain relief for your cabling infrastructure.
