Cable trunking — SAN Engineering Malaysia

Cable Trunking Manufacturer in Malaysia

As a reputable metal fabrication manufacturer in Malaysia, we understand the importance of efficient cable management and organization. Our hot dip galvanised (HDG) cable trunking is designed to provide a robust and reliable solution for routing and protecting cables in various settings.

Our HDG cable trunking is manufactured using premium-grade steel that undergoes a meticulous galvanisation process. This process involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc, enhancing its resistance to corrosion, moisture, and other environmental factors. The result is a durable, long-lasting cable trunking solution that can withstand even the harshest conditions.

As a cable trunking manufacturer, we prioritize customer satisfaction and aim to deliver superior products and exceptional service. We offer a comprehensive range of cable trunking options, including various sizes and configurations, to meet your specific requirements. Our experienced team is available to assist you in selecting the right cable trunking solutions for your projects.

Cable Trunking

The metal cable trunking manufactured by SAN solve a variety of commercial and industrial cable support needs regardless of the environment. Manufactured from carbon steel, finished with either hot dip galvanized or powder coating after fabrication the cable trunking is resistant to harsh solid and performant environments.

SAN cable trunking products are ideal for all types of industrial applications, even in special conditions like high concentrations of humidity or salinity, where acids are used and when large quantities of cables are required (in the fields petrochemical and iron and steel industries, power stations and underground or maritime installations). SAN's cable support systems are strong and perfectly fit for the most complex applications. SAN cable trunking products are easy to mount, practical, safe and equipped with snap-on covers, the new cable trays can be fastened to the ceiling or to the wall, making it possible, thanks to the wide range of trunking, corners, reducers and accessories, to satisfy all trunking requirements without any problems.

Closed/punched base cable trays, along with SAN's cable ladders, and trunking systems, hot dip Galvanized or powder coating after production, make SAN metal trunking systems the answer to all requirements, in any kind of application context.

Earth Bonding

Cable trunking and ducting systems are designed to carry single insulated cables, and such systems must therefore provide the secondary protection required by the Wiring Regulations. This means trunking and ducting systems must be earth bonded together, and then connected to a suitable earth point. SAN Engineering trunking is designed to provide such earth bonding, provided that the system is fully assembled with all manufacturer's original components, including fixings, and that all fixings are fully tightened. This is achieved by a combination of serrations under the head of the fixing screws and the internal barbs on the fixing bars.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Cable trunking and ducting systems are considered passive under normal conditions in respect of electromagnetic influences. The installation of current carrying cables may cause emissions and these cables may also be influenced by electromagnetic signals from elsewhere, but the degree of influence will depend on the nature of the installation and the apparatus connected to the system. Specific information relating to the details of cable separation required according to the type of signal, and further information about EMC, is provided in the relevant Standards and Regulations. However as a basic principle, if power and signal cables are run in separate compartments of a metal trunking system, then the metal segregation will significantly reduce the possibility of one circuit having undesirable effect influence upon another.

Supporting Cable Trunking Systems

The connector between all types of cable trunking lengths is to provide electrical and mechanical connection between the lengths; it does not provide a load bearing connection between lengths. Consequently each length must be fully supported so that there is no significant bending force applied to the connector. Each individual length of trunking is strong enough to carry the maximum number of cables that can be physically fitted into the trunking whilst still being able to correctly fit the cover without applying force. All supports must therefore be designed to carry each length individually without relying on the connector

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SAN Engineering cable trunking systems in Malaysia.

Cable Trunking System

What is cable trunking and what is it used for?

Cable trunking is a prefabricated metal enclosure with a solid one-piece channel base and a snap-on cover, used to protect and organise multiple runs of cable. SAN Engineering manufactures cable trunking for commercial and industrial installations, giving cables a neat, secure, and professional routing solution.

How does cable trunking differ from cable tray and cable ladder?

Cable trunking is a fully enclosed channel with a cover that completely contains cables, while cable trays and ladders are open systems. The enclosed design offers greater protection against dust, moisture, and interference, and SAN Engineering can advise which system best suits your installation.

What materials and finishes does SAN Engineering use for cable trunking?

SAN Engineering manufactures cable trunking from carbon steel and finishes it after fabrication with either hot-dip galvanizing or epoxy powder coating. Both finishes provide strong corrosion resistance, making the trunking suitable for demanding environments.

Can SAN Engineering cable trunking be used in harsh or corrosive environments?

Yes. SAN Engineering cable trunking is suited to demanding applications including high humidity, high salinity, and acidic conditions found in petrochemical, iron and steel, power generation, and underground or maritime installations. The protective finish helps the trunking withstand these environments.

How is earth bonding handled in SAN Engineering cable trunking systems?

SAN Engineering trunking is designed to provide earth bonding when the system is fully assembled with all original components and fixings correctly tightened. This is achieved through serrations under the fixing screw heads and internal barbs on the fixing bars, helping meet the secondary protection required by wiring regulations.

How should cable trunking be supported during installation?

Connectors between trunking lengths provide electrical and mechanical continuity but are not load-bearing, so each length must be fully supported on its own. SAN Engineering recommends designing supports to carry every individual length without relying on the connector, so no significant bending force is applied to the joints.
