Sustainable developmentSustainable development, once the preserve of

legislators and governments, has become a factof life for all stakeholders within society. Today'sproject managers, whether in an industrial, servicesor infrastructure context, need to respect theenvironment and consider the human impact of theiractions.CABLOFIL® is fully aware of these issues and behavesresponsibly across all its sites and organisationalstructures. The company also extends this approachto its partners, with a view to developing a lastingcommitment in this area.

Mechanical resistanceFirst and foremost, a cable tray must act as an effective, resistant and durable support for

cables.The mechanical performance of all products and accessories is tested against the verydemanding requirements imposed by the international standard IEC 61537.

Metals and surface treatmentsUncontrolled corrosion is a recurrent problem with all ap-plications involving metals, it may lead to a reduction in theperformance and lifetime of the installation.Cable trays are mainly exposed to atmospheric corrosion.The environment in which the cable trays are installedis therefore the main criteria in the choice of surfacetreatment, or type of steel.

Metallic cable trays with excellent electricalcontinuity which are integrated into an installation'sequipotential earthing network reduce the effectsof coupling and therefore improve an electricalinstallation's EMC.

These tests show that there is no significant differencein "Faraday cage" effect offered by wire mesh orperforated cable tray.

CONFIGURATION OF THE 2ND TEST:

Fibre optic data cablesThe development of fibre optics is a direct result of the growing demand for fast datatransmission between different terminals. Given its immunity to electromagnetic interferenceand its characteristics in terms of signal transmission, fibre optics are the ideal support forhigh-speed data transmission.
