Wire ducts and raceways are specialized structures designed to securely house and manage cables and wires within various environments. The main function of these products is to organize, protect, and conceal electrical wires and cables to ensure safety and improve aesthetics. Wire ducts are typically enclosed conduits that allow wires to be routed between electronic components, machinery, and power sources, while raceways are open or enclosed channels that provide a pathway for large quantities of wires and are often used along surfaces of walls, floors, and ceilings.
The primary uses of wire ducts and raceways include enhancing electrical safety by protecting wires from damage, reducing electrical noise, and preventing tripping hazards. They are characterized by their durability, flexibility, and ease of installation, which makes them ideal for both industrial and residential applications. Common manufacturers of wire ducts and raceways include Panduit, Legrand, and Hubbell.
