What role does cable management play?

description

In construction, everything, from the foundations to the finishing touches, plays a crucial role in the safety, functionality, and aesthetics of a building. Among these, one vital aspect stands out—electrical cable management systems.

The Problem

Behind the ceilings of bustling offices, residential spaces, and commercial buildings lies a complex network of electrical cables and wires. Without proper management, these cables can become tangled, leading to damaged wires, signal loss, and safety hazards.
 
To keep cables organised, a cable containment system—like cable baskets—is essential. However, installing these systems can be tedious, often requiring the manual fastening of nuts and bolts—which leads to longer installation times and unnecessary project delays.
 
 

The Solution

Staying true to Acura Group's commitment to continuously find innovative solutions that make our customers’ lives easier, we’ve partnered with Vantrunk, a global leader in cable basket manufacturing. Together, we are excited to offer the fire-rated EasyConnect® cable basket—the fastest installation solution on the market.
 
The EasyConnect® cable basket lives up to its name. These cable baskets are designed to clasp together quickly and effortlessly, reducing the need for multiple hanging points. Just click it, and you’re done—significantly reducing installation time. The system’s versatility also allows for various connection options, including:
  • Vertical assembly
  • Horizontal side-to-side assembly
  • Horizontal frontal assembly
  • Reversed tray sections for ceiling-to-wall transitions

The EasyConnect® cable basket delivers exceptional functionality across various environments worldwide, including data centres, airports, plant rooms, factories, hospitals, manufacturing, production, and renewable energy facilities.

How Fire-Rated EasyConnect® Cable Baskets
Transform Multi-Storey Buildings

Vantrunk is known for its expertise in crafting innovative cable management solutions for multi-storey applications. Their fire-rated EasyConnect® cable basket is distinguished by its rapid installation and adaptability. Yet, it offers a range of benefits beyond such features.

1. Simplifying Cable Installation

Electrical cable management undergoes a transformative shift with the introduction of cable baskets. Unlike conventional practices that involve threading cables through conduits or raceways, this product presents a direct solution tailored for open wiring systems. Cables can be effortlessly laid into the basket, cutting out the need for costly, time-consuming, and labour-intensive installation procedures.

2. Flexibility & Adaptability

A wire mesh cable basket provides a flexible solution for evolving multi-storey building needs. It easily adapts to changes in wiring layouts and accommodates additional cables, reducing the need for costly renovations.

With various sizes and designs available, a cable basket can offer versatility for different building layouts and configurations, whether mounted on floors, along walls, or overhead.

3. Enhanced Airflow & Cooling

Cable basket streamlines cable management by allowing for better airflow and cooling efficiency. This unrestricted airflow prevents the accumulation of heat and dust around cables, enhancing overall system performance.

 

4. Safety & Compliance

Known for its durability and reliability, the EasyConnect® cable basket provides a tidy and safe solution to the hazards of tangled cables. It reduces the risk of tripping, electrical fires, and equipment damage while ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 3013:2005.

5. Organisation & Minimal Maintenance

Cable basket simplifies cable containment, preventing tangling and reducing clutter to enhance organisation and minimise maintenance requirements.

Offering a clear and visible pathway for electrical cables, this solution facilitates easy access, allowing technicians to swiftly identify, troubleshoot, and perform maintenance tasks when necessary. This accessibility not only reduces downtime but also minimises disruption to building occupants, ensuring seamless operations.

6. Aesthetic Appeal

A cable basket also offers a sleek alternative to traditional conduit systems, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. They seamlessly blend with modern architectural styles, adding sophistication to interior spaces. By neatly containing cables, they eliminate clutter, creating a cleaner and more professional appearance.
