Consider a cable containment or cable management system as your first line of defence for your electrical wiring. When you securely organise your electrical cables with various wire management system components (cable trays, conduits, trunking, cable ladders, raceways, ducts, and basket systems), you safeguard them from:

• Physical damage from equipment or foot traffic
• Exposure to moisture, dust, or chemicals
• Cable overheating and fire risks
• Interferences between data cables and power supply

With our meticulous cable management solutions, we’re able to guarantee completely safe, compliant, and organised electrical installations even in power-intensive electrical environments, like factories, data centres, and commercial kitchens.

Investing in a well-designed and organised electrical containment system goes beyond short-term aesthetic appeal - it supports future expansion and upgrades to your electrical system. 

Our team employs a forward-thinking approach, keeping your business’ future needs in mind when designing and installing cable management solutions.

You can expect:

• An increased capacity for additional circuits or cabling
• Better accessibility for technology upgrades
• Segregation of power, lighting, data, and security systems

Properly executed wiring management systems provide clear routing, segregation, and accessibility that make maintenance, testing, and problem detection simpler.

You can:

• Identify and access circuit routes quickly
• Comply with inspection and testing regulations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
• Spend less time on repairs and upgrades
• Ensure minimal disruption in your daily operations

Our cable management systems are easier to manage as well as safer, serving as the more cost-effective solution in the long run.

Uncontained and unorganised cables and loose wires are not only unsafe but also unprofessional. With clean, neatly organised, clearly routed and labelled cable networks, you can:

• Enhance the visual appearance of your electrical rooms, plant units, and open ceilings
• Manage airflow and heat in IT and server rooms
• Effortlessly trace cables and wires for safety inspections and compliance audits

Oaktree Electrical’s team follows best practices in wall and ceiling cable management systems with routing, labelling, and colour coding for easy management.

Also known as electrical containment, a cable containment system is a unit designed to organise and store cables in an electrical installation.

The common types of cable containment systems include cable trays, conduits, trunking, cable ladders, raceways, ducts, and basket systems.

Cable containment, or cable management, is important for managing and supporting cables, allowing for optimal power distribution, and giving your cable setup a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

As a best practice, all cable containment systems using conduit, trunking, or wire basket need to follow a “fill ratio” and space factor guide lines, to avoid heat buildup and maintain the long-term integrity of cables.

Some trunking systems for electrical containment are available pre-coloured in black, red, and brown to blend in with your decorative finishes.
