B-LINE FT4X6X10 HD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can B-Line FT4X6X10 HD wire basket tray be used outdoors or in a wash-down area?
Yes. The Eaton B-Line Flex Tray FT4X6X10 HD is hot-dipped galvanized steel and is recommended for exterior and corrosive applications, so outdoor runs, parking structures, tunnels and wet or chemically aggressive interiors are what this finish is for. Painted or plain electro-zinc basket tray is the wrong choice in those spots.
2) How much cable fill do I get in a 4 inch deep, 6 inch wide basket tray like the FT4X6X10 HD?
The usable cross section is 12.1 square inches of actual area inside the tray. That is the number to size your bundle against, not the nominal 6 inch width, because the wire sides take up part of the profile. For heavier bundles of Cat 6A or power cable you would step up to a wider tray rather than overfill this one.
3) How much clearance do I need above the ceiling grid for a 4 inch B-Line flex tray?
Overall height of the tray itself is 4.38 inches, slightly more than the 4 inch nominal depth because of the wire profile. Add your cable stack above the side rails plus hanger hardware when you are figuring the plenum space, and remember you need room to lay cable in from the top.
4) Is this B-Line basket tray approved for Canadian jobs?
The FT4X6X10 HD carries CSA certification, so it can be specified on projects requiring a CSA listed cable tray system.
5) Should I use wire basket tray or solid ladder tray for a data cabling run?
Basket tray like the Eaton B-Line Flex Tray is the usual pick for low voltage and communications cable: the open wire mesh lets you drop cable in anywhere along the run, exit at any point, and it keeps air moving around the bundle. Ladder and solid bottom tray are better where you are carrying heavy power feeders over long unsupported spans or need bottom protection. At 4 inch depth and 6 inch width, this one is sized for a moderate bundle rather than a main riser trunk.
6) Can I cut and bend B-Line flex tray on site to make turns and drops?
Wire basket tray is built to be field cut with a bolt cutter or cable tray cutting tool and bent to form elbows, tees and vertical drops, which is why it is used where routing is not fully drawn out. One caution on the hot-dip galvanized version: any cut end loses its coating, so those ends need a cold galvanizing touch-up on exterior or corrosive runs, and cut wire ends should be trimmed flush to protect cable jackets.
