Overview

The nVent ProLine Horizontal Cable Trough (SKU: PHCT3) is a 500mm-wide, 16-gauge steel cable management solution designed for front-to-back cable routing in server and data cabinets. Its narrow profile prevents interference with 19-inch equipment in 600mm-wide enclosures while providing efficient cable pathways. Constructed from durable steel with a RAL 9005 black polyester powder paint finish, the trough ensures long-term corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. Installation flexibility is a key feature: it mounts directly to 1- or 3-row grid straps (side or top) or to mounting channels using the separately sold APSM6CN Mounting Kit. Multiple troughs can be combined to create customized cable management systems tailored to specific infrastructure needs. This product is UL Classified for suitability as an equipment ground conductor and complies with NFPA 70 (Article 392) and IEC 61537 standards, making it ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial environments requiring organized, secure, and code-compliant cable pathways.
