Overview

The nVent Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System (SKU: QTP2X20BLK) is a high-performance, black steel cable management solution designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring efficient, accessible, and scalable cable routing. Engineered for durability and flexibility, this 2.00" x 20.00" x 120.00" straight section is a cornerstone component of the Quick Tray Pro system, enabling professionals to design and deploy cable infrastructure that meets evolving project demands. Cable trays like the Quick Tray Pro are essential in modern electrical and data infrastructure, providing a structured pathway for power, control, and communication cables while eliminating clutter and reducing installation time. The wire mesh design of this system offers superior ventilation, minimizing heat buildup and extending cable lifespan—a critical consideration in high-power or high-density installations. Unlike solid-bottom trays, the mesh construction allows for easy visual inspection, rapid reconfiguration, and simplified maintenance, making it ideal for facilities where uptime and adaptability are priorities. The black powder-coated steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. This straight section is compatible with a full range of Quick Tray Pro accessories, including tees, crosses, elbows, and covers, allowing for seamless integration into complex cable tray networks. Whether routing cables through ceilings, walls, or industrial machinery, this system provides the structural integrity and modularity required for long-term reliability. Typical applications span a wide range of industries, including manufacturing plants, data centers, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and renewable energy installations. In industrial settings, the Quick Tray Pro system excels in environments with high cable density, such as motor control centers, switchgear rooms, and automation systems. Data centers benefit from its airflow properties, which help dissipate heat generated by servers and networking equipment, while commercial buildings rely on its clean, organized aesthetic for exposed ceiling installations. Professionals choose the Quick Tray Pro system for its ease of installation and scalability. The modular design allows for quick assembly without specialized tools, reducing labor costs and project timelines. Pre-punched holes and standard fittings ensure compatibility with industry-leading hardware, while the system’s load-bearing capacity accommodates both power and data cables without sagging or deformation. For engineers and contractors, this translates to fewer callbacks, lower maintenance costs, and a future-proof infrastructure that can adapt to changing technology needs. nVent, the manufacturer of the Quick Tray Pro system, is a global leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, trusted by professionals for its commitment to innovation, quality, and safety. With decades of experience in cable management, nVent’s products are engineered to meet stringent industry standards, including NEC, UL, and CE certifications. The Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System exemplifies this dedication, offering a robust, code-compliant solution for cable routing in even the most demanding environments. When selecting a cable tray system, consider factors such as load capacity, environmental conditions, and future expansion needs. The Quick Tray Pro system’s 2.00" x 20.00" profile provides ample space for cable bundles while maintaining a low profile, making it ideal for tight spaces. Its black finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also reduces glare in lighting-sensitive areas. For projects requiring additional protection, optional covers and accessories are available to shield cables from dust, debris, or accidental contact. Investing in the nVent Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System (QTP2X20BLK) means choosing a solution that balances performance, durability, and ease of use. Whether you’re designing a new facility or upgrading an existing one, this system delivers the flexibility and reliability needed to support your cable infrastructure today and tomorrow.

How to Install and Configure QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray Sections

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for cutting, forming, connecting, and supporting QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray sections, including the QTP2X20BLK model, to create custom cable management pathways.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Hoffman side action bolt cutter

Supplies needed:

Splice Kit, Splice Washer, Universal Splice Bar, T-Connection or 90-degree Splice Bar

  1. Plan the Cable Tray Layout and Mark Cuts

    Determine the required configuration for your cable management system, including straight runs, bends, elbows, or tees. Review the specific cutting patterns provided in the manual for your tray size (e.g., QTP2X20BLK) and desired modifications, carefully marking the wires that need to be removed.

  2. Cut Cable Tray Sections

    Use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC) to make precise cuts. Begin by positioning the cutting jaws on the cradle wire of the top side wire and cut at an angle away from the new end. Repeat this process for all remaining side wires. Then, turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, always resting the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cutting at an angle away from the new end. Ensure each cut is clean to minimize sharp edges and protect against corrosion.

  3. Form Tray Modifications (Bends, Elbows, Tees)

    Form any necessary bends, elbows, or tees according to the specific instructions and cutting patterns for each modification type (e.g., 90-degree bend, large radius bend, elbow, 90-degree tee, Y-junction tee, width reduction, or level change). For example, to create a 90-degree bend, cut the side wires at the bend location, then smoothly bend the tray until the inside edges meet.

  4. Connect Tray Sections and Secure Modifications

    Join different cable tray sections or secure formed modifications using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For enhanced support and stability, especially when connecting tray sides or forming complex junctions, utilize QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bars or QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection Splice Bars as specified for the particular connection.

  5. Support the Installed Cable Tray System

    Install supports for straight sections at regular intervals, typically 6-foot (1.5m) centers. Ensure that supports are positioned within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports must not exceed the length of the tray. Provide additional supports around all bends and wherever the cable tray changes levels to ensure the stability and integrity of the entire system.
