No. The FT2X16X10 BLE is specified for controlled interior use. It is powder coated steel, not hot dip galvanized or stainless, so keep it to conditioned indoor runs like data rooms, IDF/MDF closets, and office ceilings. For rooftop, parking structure, or washdown areas you want a galvanized or stainless basket tray instead.

Each 118.312 inch section weighs 17.4 lb empty, so a single installer can handle a stick on a lift. That's the tray only, before cable fill, so size your trapeze or threaded rod supports for the loaded weight of the bundle you're running, not the 17.4 lb.

The 2 inch by 16 inch profile gives 31.8 square inches of fill area, which suits wide, shallow horizontal runs of Cat 6 or fiber where you want cables in a single or double layer for easy dressing and future adds. If you're stacking heavy bundles or planning significant growth, go to a deeper tray; if the run is mostly wide and flat, this width buys you more usable surface than added depth would.

What you're ordering is the tray section itself, model FT2X16X10 BLE, in 16 inch width and 2 inch depth. Splice hardware, wall brackets, trapeze supports, threaded rod, and any fittings for tees, elbows, or drops are separate line items, so build them into your takeoff before the crew shows up.

Yes, that's exactly what the BLE black powder coat is for. Open plenum and exposed-structure ceilings where the tray is visible get the black coat so the run disappears against dark decking and painted structure, instead of the bright zinc of a plated tray.

The FT2X16X10 BLE is CE marked. If your submittal package calls for a specific listing beyond that, verify against the approved product list for your project before you release the order.
