Product catalog summary
Introduction
nVent CADDY specializes in innovative solutions for datacom system installations, aiming to reduce installation costs and enhance efficiency. Their products, such as cable runways, provide alternatives to traditional cable trays, helping contractors meet project deadlines more effectively.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE technology enables power and data transmission over a single cable, simplifying installations and reducing costs. However, it can increase temperatures, potentially affecting cable performance. To address this, higher category cables, shielded cables, and metal supports are recommended. nVent CADDY's Cat HP J-Hook is ideal for PoE applications due to its metal construction and compliance with bend radius standards.
Bend Radius Importance
Maintaining the minimum bend radius is crucial for cable performance. EN 50174-2 mandates a bend radius of eight times the cable diameter. Non-compliance can lead to cable damage and performance issues. nVent CADDY's Cat HP J-Hook ensures the proper bend radius, maintaining compliance and performance.
Installation Solutions
nVent CADDY offers various products to simplify installations, including tool-free solutions and innovative supports like the Rod Lock Strut Nut and Quick Strut Nut, which reduce the need for tools and expedite installation processes.
Product Offerings
nVent CADDY provides a range of products for continuous and non-continuous cable supports, such as J-Hook Trees, U-Hooks, and adjustable cable supports, catering to different installation needs with flexibility and ease of use.
Specifications
The products are designed for heavy-duty applications, featuring vibration cushioning, no sharp edges, and reusability. They maintain cable properties and prevent crimping with 'Intelligent Grip Technology'.
Product Descriptions
  • KBT Clip: An easy-to-install solution for attaching wire basket trays to struts without tools.
  • CAT HP J-Hook: Features a wide base and smooth edges for a large bending radius, suitable for high-performance data cables and fiber optics.
  • Medium and Small Bundle Supports: Designed for medium and small cable quantities, offering non-continuous support and easy installation.
  • Pyramid Supports: Include strut-based supports and tool-free cable tray support kits, ideal for various mounting applications.

Introduction POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE) Since its inception in the early 2000s, Power over Ethernet (PoE) has become a rapidly emerging trend in transmitting power and data over the same cable. PoE allows for a single cable to provide both power and data to a variety of devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, building automation, security and LED lighting. Implementing the use of PoE applications in a facility simplifies installation and potentially lowers costs as dedicated AC power cable does not need to be run to the devices. With PoE, the need for extra wiring is gone,...

Introduction WHAT IS BEND RADIUS? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? During installation, cables are bent or flexed around obstacles elevation or directional changes. Minimum bend radius refers to the smallest radius the cable is to be bent without degrading performance. The minimum cable bend radius varies per cable types and industry standards. However, it can typically be calculated by: (minimum bend radius = cable outer diameter x cable multiplier) EN 50174-2 for cabling installation planning and practices inside buildings requires a minimum bend radius of eight times the cable diameter for four-pair balanced...
