GI Cable Trunking

GI trunking, also known as galvanized iron trunking, is a type of cable management system used to enclose and protect electrical wiring in buildings, industrial facilities, and other installations.

 Here's a description of GI trunking:

  1. Material: Cable trunking is constructed from galvanized iron, which is iron or steel coated with a layer of zinc to prevent corrosion. This galvanized coating provides durability and resistance to environmental factors, making GI trunking suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

    1. Design: Cable trunking is typically designed as a rectangular or square-shaped conduit with a hinged or removable cover. The trunking sections can vary in width, depth, and height to accommodate different cable sizes and quantities. The covers may feature snap-on or screw-fastened mechanisms for easy access to the enclosed cables.

  2. Types: There are various types of GI trunking available, including surface-mounted trunking, flush-mounted trunking, and underfloor trunking. Surface-mounted trunking is installed on walls or ceilings, providing a visible cable routing solution. Flush-mounted trunking is recessed into walls or ceilings for a more discreet installation. Underfloor trunking is installed beneath the floor surface to route cables in office spaces, commercial buildings, and data centers.

  3. Installation: Cable trunking can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, depending on the cable routing requirements and the layout of the installation. It is typically secured to surfaces using brackets, screws, or adhesive. Trunking sections can be interconnected using couplers or connectors to create longer cable runs.

  4. Benefits:

    • Protection: Cable trunking provides physical protection for electrical wiring, shielding it from damage, moisture, and environmental hazards.
    • Organization: Trunking helps organize cables neatly, reducing clutter and minimizing the risk of tangling or accidental damage.
    • Safety: By enclosing cables within a durable casing, GI cable trunking helps prevent electrical hazards and reduces the risk of fire or injury.
    • Durability: The galvanized iron construction of GI cable trunking ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

  5. Applications: Cable trunking is commonly used in commercial buildings, residential complexes, hospitals, schools, factories, and other facilities where electrical wiring needs to be routed and protected. It is often employed in conjunction with electrical conduit systems to provide comprehensive cable management solutions.
