Cable Runway

CPI's Cable Runway supports backbone and horizontal cables between the point of entry and exit into the telecommunications or equipment rooms, and cross-connects on racks or cabinets with other CPI Cable Runway Products. CPI UL Classified Cable Runway is classified by Underwriters Laboratories for sustainability (as an equipment grounding conductor only). The side stringers are 1 1/2' x 3/8' x .065' (38.1 mm x 9.53 mm x 1.65 mm) and the cross members are 1/2' x 1' x .065' (12.7 mm x 30 mm x 1.65 mm) welded at 9' (230 mm) intervals. Individually boxed to prevent scratching and damage.

Our most popular cable runway is designed for value conscious customers. The Universal Cable Runway offers the industry standard features you’ve come to expect. With the runway supported every 5’ (1.5 m), maximum load with minimal deflection is 132 lb/ft (59.9 kg).

Adjustable Cable Runway is designed to provide a flexible point-to-point solution anywhere cables enter or exit the cable pathway.

Similar in construction to our UL Classified Cable Runway (Series 11275). The side stringers are 1 1/2" x 3/8" x .065" and the cross members are 1/2" x 1" x .065" welded at 9" intervals. The overall length is 9' 8-1/2" to comply with TELCO-Style standards.

CPI's patent-pending Tool-less Stringer Radius Drop features simple, tool-less installation.

CPI’s patent-pending Tool-less Cross Member Radius Drop supports and guides cable loads as they enter and exit the runway, allowing cables to maintain proper bend radius. The Tool-less Cross Member Radius Drop is designed for compatibility with 1.5” x 3/8” (38.1 mm x 9.53 mm) Stringers and installs without the need for tools, mounting directly to the sides of the runway.

Mounts to the cross member of CPI Cable Runway to help maintain proper Category 5e/6/6a or fiber bend radius.

Hinged design opens up to wrap around cross members and features CPI's Click Secure Technology.

Pathway Dividers divide Cable Runway into multiple cable pathways in order to organize cables according to media type or destination. By organizing horizontal cables by destination according to route or zone, technicians can better manage cables when additional cables are added or when the cable path through the building changes due to building renovations.
