Wireways
Wireways are protective enclosures used to organize, route, and safeguard electrical wiring in industrial and commercial environments. Sometimes referred to as raceways, wireways provide a structured path for cables while shielding them from physical damage, dust, and other environmental hazards. Proper cable management using wireways supports safer installations, improved system reliability, and easier maintenance.
Wireways are manufactured from durable materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and PVC, allowing them to be matched to specific environmental and application requirements. Metal wireways offer strength and impact resistance for industrial settings, while PVC wireways provide corrosion resistance and lightweight installation for indoor and corrosive environments.
Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, wireways can accommodate various wiring types and volumes. Many designs feature modular construction, allowing sections to be joined and extended as needed. Removable covers provide convenient access for installation, inspection, and maintenance, while the low-profile design helps maintain smooth cable routing and supports proper airflow for heat dissipation.
