Panduit's Wyr-Grid Data Center Application

About a month ago, I featured and overview of the Wyr-Grid Solution from Panduit in a blog post. Today, I wanted to delve a little deeper into the brochure and focus on the Data Center Application of the Cable Tray System. Continue reading for an excerpt from their brochure explaining how Wyr-Grid benefits and functions in the data center. Also, please reference pages 4 and 5 of the brochure for a great visual of how the Tray System functions.

The Wyr-Grid® System is configured to route and protect cabling between the Main Distribution Area (MDA) or Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) and the Equipment Distribution Areas (EDA). Key product features significantly reduce installation time, enhance cable management and improve user safety. Because the pathway has no integral sidewalls, the need to cut the sidewalls at intersections, waterfalls, fabricated directional changes, and straight sections is eliminated.

 Intersection bend radius control accessories install with no hardware or tools, and provide a three inch bend radius guide. Splice connectors provide integral bonding, improving user safety. As shown below, these features allow copper data cables to be effectively routed throughout the data center. In applications where power cables are also routed overhead, another level of Wyr-Grid® Pathway can be added to manage these cables. In addition, premise distribution fiber cables can also be routed on a separate level of the Wyr-Grid® System.
