Traditionally, electrical wire and cable have been drawn through conduit, a thick, heavy raceway designed to house, support, and protect electrical wire and cable. Conduit, which is often made from metal, plastic, fibrous materials, or even clay, provides an excellent deal of protection to electrical cables and can shield them […]

For the purposes of running electrical cables over long distances, there are two basic methods: conduit and cable trays. Conduit is a sort of synthetic sheath (more like a tube) that completely encloses cables and is the traditional method for running cables. Trays are open or partially open raceways that […]

Traditionally, to run wire through a facility or to cover great distances, electrical engineers laid down aluminum, steel or polymer pipes called conduit. These hollow pipes serves as a raceway for cables, which then needed to be drawn through them. Conduit provides a high level of protection, but is not […]
