THE FUTURE OF CABLE SUPPORT SYSTEMS OBO offers cable support systems made by professionals for professionals. It focuses on technical properties from the area of application, through test conditions, up to corrosion resistance and temperature classifications. BIM modelling is also available on the range of Magic cable tray to
help designers and planner achieve a better and more efficiency design in the early stage of the project. Overall installation time can be greatly reduced with the usage of smart and innovative snap on solutions. Strong, better looking and longer lasting cable support systems pave the way for the next generation of building technologies. Available in different grades of material and finishing, suitable for every industrial, commercial and infrastructure application, the Magic cable tray system is designed to ease installation, increase the loading capability, maximise support structures and most importantly to better hold and protect the cables which they are supporting. The Magic cable tray system is the world’s first completely screw-less tray system. All the system components and tray types are equipped with the innovative Magic connection from the tray through to the fitting. The combination of both advantages makes mounting simpler and quicker. To illustrate this, a 400 meter length of cable tray connection requires only 24 minutes compared to 4 hours and 16 minutes with the conventional cable tray using bolt and nut connection. This will greatly improve productivity and free up manpower for other tasks. The use of the new, highly innovative and patented manufacturing method DUO-Plus leads to a considerably optimised CO2 balance for the entire product family. This technological leap saves 2,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions per years.
