Overview

The Panduit PWBWFWBL Wide Bottom Waterfall, manufactured by Panduit and distributed by Gross Automation, is an essential accessory for managing cable transitions within wire basket tray systems. Designed for versatility, this wide bottom waterfall is compatible with various sizes of wire basket, ensuring a consistent and compliant cable management solution across different installations. Its key feature is the tool-free, snap-on installation mechanism, which significantly reduces deployment time and labor costs, allowing for fast and consistent setup in data center and industrial environments. The wide bottom design is specifically engineered to maintain bend radius compliance for cables as they transition from horizontal basket pathways to vertical runs towards IT cabinets, racks, or equipment below. This integrated bend radius control is crucial for preserving cable integrity and ensuring optimal performance, particularly for sensitive data and fiber optic cabling. Constructed from durable steel with a powder-coated black finish, the PWBWFWBL offers robust protection and a clean aesthetic. With an exit width of 3.54 inches (90 mm), it provides ample space for managing multiple cable bundles. This accessory is part of Panduit's comprehensive Wire Basket Cable Tray Routing System, designed for efficient routing and management of copper data cables, fiber optic, or power cables in demanding applications. The system's innovative features focus on quick, safe, and easy assembly to reduce installation costs and accelerate deployment. The PWBWFWBL is ideal for applications requiring controlled cable exits and protection at pathway terminations, ensuring a professional and organized cable infrastructure.
