Seismic Bracing Accessories Cable Trays

Seismic bracing for cable trays requires a coordinated set of accessories including braces, clips, anchors, connectors, and specialized hardware to ensure stability during earthquakes.Key Accessories

1. Wire Rope/Cable Braces

  • Pre-stretched wire rope or cable assemblies designed to act as shock absorbers for lateral and longitudinal movement.
  • Available in multiple sizes with certified minimum breaking strengths (e.g., 900, 1650, 4000, 6600 lbs) and color-coded for easy identification ( ). 2. Universal Restraint Clips (URC)
  • Connects wire rope/cable braces to the cable tray support member.
  • Accommodates various brace sizes and hardware diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/4" ( ). 3. Oval Sleeves
  • Used to secure the cable loop through the URC clip.
  • Crimped with specialized hand swager tools to maintain brace strength ( ). 4. Threaded Rods and Trapeze Supports
  • 3/8" or larger threaded rods for suspending cable trays.
  • Trapeze assemblies provide gravity support and act as anchor points for seismic braces ( ). 5. Strut Channels and Clamps
  • Strut channels serve as structural members for attaching braces.
  • Clamps and connectors secure the tray to the strut and allow for proper load transfer ( ). 6. Anchors and Fasteners
  • Concrete or steel anchors for attaching braces to the building structure.
  • Predrilled tabs on brackets allow direct attachment to concrete decks ( ). 7. Seismic-Rated Splice Joints
  • Reinforced splice assemblies to prevent loosening or separation under cyclic seismic loads ( ). 8. Flexible Connectors and Movement Allowances
  • Used at seismic joints or differential movement zones to accommodate structural shifts without damaging the tray or cables ( ). 9. Rod Stiffeners
  • Maintain rigidity of the rod assemblies and prevent buckling under seismic forces ( ). 10. EZ BN Connectors
  • Specialized connectors for sway bracing, allowing cables to attach securely to strut channels or other bracing members ( ).
Additional Considerations
  • Cable Retention Accessories: Clips or ties to prevent cable spill during seismic events ( ).
  • Color-Coding and Certification: Many seismic accessories are color-coded and UL listed to ensure proper installation and compliance ( ).
  • Installation Tools: Hand swager tools for crimping sleeves and other specialized tools for securing braces ( ). These accessories collectively form a coordinated seismic bracing system, transferring loads from the cable tray to the building structure and ensuring compliance with seismic codes and standards ( ). Proper selection and spacing of these components are critical for high-seismicity installations.
