4C Aluminum Profile Cable Management Frame Specifications

The 4C aluminum profile cable management frame is a modular, T-slot aluminum system designed for robust cable support, typically constructed from 6063 and 5052 aluminum alloys, compatible with cable trays, ladders, and trunking.

Material and Construction

The frame is made from extruded Aluminum Association Alloy 6063 for straight sections and side rails, while fabricated parts use Alloy 5052 for durability and corrosion resistance . The profiles feature rounded edges and smooth surfaces to prevent cable damage and comply with industry standards. Ladder-style frames include transverse rungs welded to side rails, with rung spacing options of 6, 9, or 12 inches, capable of supporting 200 lb concentrated loads with a safety factor of 1.5 .

Dimensions and Configuration

• Standard lengths: 10 ft (3 m), 12 ft, 20 ft (6 m), 24 ft
• Widths: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 inches, or custom per project drawings
• Cable loading depth: 3–6 inches depending on tray type
• Rung spacing in radiused fittings: 9 inches at tray centerline

Modular Design and Compatibility

The 4C aluminum profile system is modular and T-slotted, similar to Bosch or 8020 profiles, allowing for flexible assembly and integration with other cable management components such as cable trays, ladders, and trunking . Splice plates use a Wedge-Lock design with four nuts and bolts per plate, ensuring low electrical resistance and secure connections .

Installation and Prefabrication

Frames can be prefabricated off-site in 2D or 3D configurations, with pre-installed cable trays or ladders to reduce on-site labor and improve safety . The system supports bolt or weld connections, and CAD drawings are often provided to ensure precise installation and compatibility with project requirements .

Applications

The 4C aluminum profile cable management frame is suitable for:

• Commercial, industrial, and institutional power distribution
• IT and data center installations under raised floors
• Environments requiring modular, reconfigurable cable support
• Compliance with NEC standards for cable tray and raceway installations This system provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and flexibility for complex cable routing, making it ideal for modern electrical and mechanical service installations.
