“Cable trays play a vital role in the energy efficiency of a building”

-What is the function of a cable holder?

-Its main functions are to ensure the integrity of the cables, regardless of their type (electricity, data cables, alarm systems…); conduct the wiring in different directions, organizing its distribution; protect from inclement weather, such as the temperatures to which the wiring will be exposed or the humidity of the environment; provide security to both operators and users, avoiding short circuits; and facilitate the installation of wiring, as well as its subsequent maintenance thanks to the ability to correctly classify and divide the cables they contain.

–When is it better to be made of stainless steel and when is it better to be made of galvanized steel?

-Among the most used materials for the manufacture of cable trays are galvanized steel and stainless steel, which stand out for their resistance and durability. Galvanized steel offers moderate corrosion resistance, making trays made from this material ideal for dry indoor environments or outdoors with limited exposure to moisture and chemicals. On the other hand, stainless steel guarantees excellent resistance to corrosion and rust, a property that makes them especially suitable for marine areas, industrial facilities, chemical plants, hospitals and any place where corrosion resistance is essential.

-Why are cable trays an energy efficiency measure?

-Cable trays play a vital role in the energy efficiency of a building or infrastructure, as messy and unsupported wiring can cause unnecessary stress and damage to the cables, resulting in energy losses. Additionally, during operation, wiring can generate heat, affecting the energy efficiency of a system. By using cable trays designed with materials that promote heat reduction, the temperature of the cables is balanced and the need for other cooling systems, such as air conditioning, is reduced, resulting in more efficient energy consumption. One of our goals in PUK Cable holder is to favor this evolution towards solutions that promote efficient cable management, which has become increasingly relevant to achieve an energy sustainable cabling system.

-What sectors do you work for?

-We have clients from very different sectors, since we have different wiring fastening systems that we adapt depending on the specific needs of each project or installation. Therefore, we can offer ideal solutions for the industrial sector, construction technology, tunnels, infrastructures that require fire protection, solar energy projects or roofs and supports of all types, among others.
