Enduro, the leading producer of fiberglass Cable Trays and Channel Framing Systems offers ComWay™ Fiberglass Lay-in-Wireway. ComWay™ is designed especially for the protection and routing of data control and power cables, featuring the unique "Snap-On" cover. ComWay™ Lay-in-Wireway combines the high strength of pultrusion, ease of installation as well as accessibility after installation for the ultimate in wireway system.

  Plus • Maximum Protection
    • Non-interfering/Non-magnetic
    • Non-conductive
    • Corrosion Resistance
    • Lightweight
    • Fire Retardant
    • UV Resistant
    • Low Thermal Conductivity
    • Cost Effective

APPLICATIONS

Enduro ComWay™ Lay-in-Wireway is designed to protect data control, communication and power cables from atmospheric conditions (e.g. dust, dirt, oil, water), and unauthorized/accidental tampering.

 

ComWay Lay-in-Wireway is often found in:

         Computer, Communication, and Clean room applications. It readily conforms to the grid-post system of raised floors.
  Food Processing Plants where periodic washdowns often utilize caustic disinfectants.
  Where ferrous and non-ferrous metallic systems are unacceptable.

CONSTRUCTION

Enduro ComWay™ Lay-in-Wireway is manufactured by the pultrusion process using special fiberglass composite designs and fire-retardant resin formulations for superior strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. ComWay™ Lay-in-Wireway carries a Class 1 fire rating in accordance with ASTM Standard E-84.

Adhesive-backed gasketing is provided to ensure dust-free and weatherproof fit between the body and cover (field installation required). Cover splice plates snap-on with the same ease as the cover itself. No assembly hardware is required - minimizing installation time and making access to the cables as easy as opening a door. Body splice plates are supplied with stainless steel bolts and nuts and neoprene backed washers to ensure no seepage through drilled holes. ComWay™ Lay-in-Wireway is gray in color.
