Overview

The nVent Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System (SKU: QTP6X12BLK) is a high-performance, black steel cable management solution designed to route cables through unused spaces while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and future upgrades. Engineered by nVent, a global leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, this 6.00" x 12.00" x 120.00" straight section provides a robust framework for organizing power, data, and control cables in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Wire mesh cable trays are the preferred choice for professionals seeking a balance between strength, airflow, and ease of installation. Unlike solid-bottom trays, the open design of the Quick Tray Pro system promotes superior heat dissipation, reducing the risk of cable overheating—a critical factor in high-density installations. The black powder-coated finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also blends seamlessly with modern infrastructure aesthetics, making it ideal for data centers, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and educational campuses where both functionality and visual appeal matter. Key features of the Quick Tray Pro system include: - **Modular Design**: Compatible with a full range of Quick Tray Pro accessories, allowing for custom configurations to meet specific project requirements. - **High Load Capacity**: Engineered to support heavy cable loads without sagging, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments. - **Easy Accessibility**: Open-mesh construction enables quick cable additions, modifications, or troubleshooting without dismantling the entire system. - **Corrosion-Resistant Finish**: Black powder coating provides enhanced durability against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, extending the system's lifespan. - **Compliance & Safety**: Meets industry standards such as NEC, UL, and OSHA, ensuring safe and compliant installations in regulated environments. The Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System is particularly well-suited for applications where cable density is high, such as: - **Data Centers**: Supporting structured cabling for servers, switches, and networking equipment with optimal airflow management. - **Industrial Facilities**: Routing power and control cables in manufacturing plants, refineries, and processing facilities where machinery requires reliable electrical distribution. - **Commercial Buildings**: Organizing cables in office buildings, retail spaces, and hospitality venues to maintain clean, uncluttered environments. - **Healthcare Facilities**: Ensuring safe and efficient cable management in hospitals and clinics, where downtime is not an option. Installation is streamlined thanks to the system's lightweight yet sturdy construction, which allows for quick assembly using standard hardware. The 120.00" length minimizes the number of joints required, reducing installation time and material costs. For professionals, selecting the right cable tray system involves considering factors such as load capacity, environmental conditions, and future scalability. nVent's Quick Tray Pro system addresses these needs with a reputation for quality, backed by decades of expertise in electrical infrastructure solutions. Whether you're retrofitting an existing facility or designing a new installation, the nVent Quick Tray Pro Wire Mesh Cable Tray System (QTP6X12BLK) delivers unmatched performance, durability, and flexibility.

How to Modify and Connect QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray Sections

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for cutting, bending, and joining QUICK TRAY PRO™ cable tray sections to create a customized cable management system.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

QTPBC Side Action Bolt Cutter

Supplies needed:

QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kit, QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washer, QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bar, QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection or 90o Splice Bar

  1. Plan Your Cable Tray Layout

    Before making any cuts, thoroughly plan the entire cable tray route, including all straight sections, bends, tees, and changes in level. Review the specific cutting patterns provided in the manual for each required modification based on your tray's width and desired shape.

  2. Cut Cable Tray Wires

    Use the QTPBC Side Action Bolt Cutter to make precise cuts. Start with the top side wire, positioning the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cutting at an angle away from the new end. Repeat this process for all remaining side wires. Turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, ensuring the cutting jaws rest on the cradle wire and cuts are angled away from the new end. Make one clean cut to minimize sharp edges and protect against corrosion.

  3. Form Bends or Tees (as required)

    For a 90-degree bend, cut the wires as indicated in the manual, then smoothly bend the tray until the inside edges meet. Secure the bend using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For other configurations like large radius bends, elbows, 90-degree tees, or Y-junction tees, follow the specific cutting and bending instructions provided in the documentation, utilizing the appropriate splice kits and bars for secure connections.

  4. Connect Tray Sections

    Join adjacent cable tray sections or modified segments using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For enhanced support and stability, especially on tray sides, incorporate QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bars or QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection/90o Splice Bars, fastening them securely with the splice kits and washers.

  5. Install Supports for the Tray System

    Position straight section supports typically at 6-foot (1.5m) intervals. Ensure that supports are placed within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports must not exceed the length of a single tray section. Provide additional supports around all bends and wherever the cable tray changes levels to maintain structural integrity.
