B-Line Eaton series Flex tray wire basket tray, Limited industrial and interior, Pre-galvanized zinc, Steel, 4.3" actual area inside tray, 2" deep fle

The Eaton B-Line FT2X2X10 GS is a 2 inch deep, 2 inch wide wire basket tray supplied in roughly 10 foot lengths (118.312 in). Usable cross section inside the tray is 4.3 square inches, so size your fill off that number rather than the nominal 2 x 2. It's a small trunk, suited to branch runs of data or low voltage cable rather than a main backbone.

No. The FT2X2X10 GS carries a pre-galvanized zinc finish on steel and is rated by Eaton for limited industrial and interior applications. Pre-galv is a mill coating with cut ends left bare, so keep it inside conditioned or dry industrial space. For exterior, washdown, or corrosive areas you want a hot-dip galvanized or stainless basket tray instead.

The 2 inch figure is the nominal depth of the basket; 2.38 in is the overall outside height of the section including the top edge wire. Use the 2.38 in dimension when you're checking clearance above a ceiling grid or under a beam, and the 4.3 square inch interior area when you're calculating cable fill.

What ships is the steel wire basket section itself, model FT2X2X10 GS, in pre-galvanized finish. Splice hardware, wall brackets, trapeze hangers, threaded rod, and any dividers are separate line items, so budget them per joint and per support point when you build the takeoff.

Wire basket like the B-Line 2 x 2 flex tray is the usual choice for communications and low voltage: it's open on all sides so you can drop cable in anywhere along the run, it's cut and formed on site with a bolt cutter to make bends and offsets instead of ordering fittings, and it sheds dust. Ladder and solid bottom tray are the better call for heavy power feeders, long unsupported spans, or where you need a continuous bottom to protect cable jackets. At 4.3 square inches of interior area this section is a branch level trunk, not a backbone.

CE marking is what's stated for this flex tray. If your spec calls out a particular UL or NEMA classification for the cable tray system, confirm it against the Eaton submittal for the run you're building before releasing the order.
