HIGHLAND, Ill., May 15, 2013 - Cooper B-Line, a division of diversified power management company Eaton, is expanding its product portfolio with the addition of two new cable tray solutions - perforated and solid bottom cable trays. Ideal for short cable runs and drop outs in offshore, onshore, mining, manufacturing and commercial applications, these products offer users increased efficiencies and protection in cable management. The addition of these products for the Asian and Australia markets also allows B-Line to reduce supplier complexity and lead time for global customers in the region.

"The introduction of the new perforated and solid bottom cable tray in Asia and Australia expands our local capabilities for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications," said Tim Fox, product manager, B-Line Division. "They are a further testament of our commitment to our global customer base."
Available in several materials, widths, heights and flange styles, the products are ideal for oil and gas, mining, industrial, manufacturing and commercial applications. The perforated and solid cable tray products are available in hot dip galvanized or stainless steel; 1, 1.5 and 2 millimeter (mm) thickness; and widths from 50 to 900 mm.
The perforated and solid bottom cable tray systems include both formed and mitered fittings with radius up to 900 mm. In addition to the complete portfolio of straights and fittings, a full line of accessories is also available.
