Our Wire Cable Basket Liner is designed to provide a solid surface for the bottom of cable baskets. This helps to prevent the snagging of cables and wiring. The high density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) provides a smooth surface which allows for the easy passing of cabling and is flexible, allowing the plastic to conform to various tray features. The material is easily cut with a utility knife which makes customizing the liner to various cutouts and openings simple and straight forward. 

Available in both 30 mil and 40 mil thicknesses, our cable tray liner is available in a wide variety of roll widths ranging from 18” - 48” and in 100’ roll lengths. Our liner is made in the USA and ships from Kansas City.

 

*The widest HDPE roll that we offer is currently 8’ (96 inches).

Please note that we are unable to provide custom roll lengths.

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

Maximizing Efficiency and Safety: The Importance of Wire Cable Basket Liners

In the realm of cable management, ensuring the safety, organization, and longevity of wiring systems is paramount. Wire cable baskets are a popular choice for their flexibility and ease of access, allowing efficient routing and maintenance of cables in various settings. To enhance these systems further, wire cable basket liners are employed, offering crucial protection and additional benefits. This blog post will explore the functionality, advantages, and applications of wire cable basket liners, highlighting their essential role in effective cable management.

What are Wire Cable Basket Liners?

Wire cable basket liners are designed to fit snugly within wire basket trays, providing a protective covering that minimizes the risk of damage to the cables housed within. These liners are typically made from materials such as polyethylene, neoprene, or PVC, which are selected for their durability and protective properties.

Key Features:

Protection: Offers a smooth barrier against the sharp edges and joints of wire baskets.
Durability: Made from materials that resist wear, tear, and environmental impacts such as chemicals or extreme temperatures.
Flexibility: Easily adaptable to fit the contours and configurations of various wire basket designs.
Electrical Insulation: Enhances safety by providing additional electrical isolation to prevent shorts and other electrical hazards.

Benefits of Using Wire Cable Basket Liners

Incorporating wire cable basket liners into your cable management strategy delivers several significant advantages:

Improved Cable Protection

The primary benefit of wire cable basket liners is the protection they afford. By shielding cables from the metal structure of the basket, these liners prevent abrasion, punctures, and other physical damage that can compromise cable integrity and functionality.

Enhanced Safety

With their insulating properties, wire cable basket liners significantly reduce the risk of electrical faults. This safety feature is particularly crucial in environments where exposure to moisture or conductive contaminants could lead to electrical hazards.

Simplified Maintenance and Installation

Wire cable basket liners are designed for ease of installation, usually requiring no tools or complex procedures to fit into place. This simplicity not only speeds up initial setup but also facilitates easier maintenance and upgrades, as cables can be more readily accessed and managed.

Aesthetic and Organizational Benefits

Besides functional advantages, these liners can also improve the aesthetics of cable management systems, particularly in visible installations. They provide a cleaner, more organized appearance and can be customized in color to blend with or complement the environment.
