BASORFIL Wire Mesh Cable Trays: orderly, flexible cable management for industrial systems

BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays: order, flexibility and accessibility

A well-designed cable route is not only appreciated when the system is new. Its real value becomes clear later: when maintenance is required, a new line needs to be added, a connection has to be modified or an intervention must be carried out without turning the entire installation into a metal puzzle.

BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays are a highly effective technical solution for creating orderly, inspectable and easily modifiable cable routes.

The wire mesh structure keeps cables visible and accessible, improving system management and reducing the complexity of future interventions. In practical terms: less hunting for the missing cable, more operational efficiency. And yes, maintenance technicians will quietly appreciate it too.

What BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays are

BASORFIL is Basor’s range of wire mesh cable trays designed to support and distribute electrical and data cables in industrial, infrastructure and commercial installations.

Compared with more closed or rigid cable management systems, wire mesh cable trays offer an open, lightweight structure that can be easily adapted to cabling requirements.

This makes it possible to create orderly cable routes that are easy to modify over time, a key factor in systems subject to expansions, reconfigurations or periodic maintenance.

A solution designed for evolving systems

Industrial systems rarely remain unchanged over time. Lines change, new users are added, data cabling increases and new devices are integrated.

BASORFIL cable trays help manage this evolution with an open and modular system, allowing cable routes to be modified without unnecessarily complicating the existing infrastructure.

Open structure for improved cable ventilation

One of the main advantages of BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays is their open structure. Compared with closed cable management systems, the wire mesh design promotes cable ventilation and contributes to better heat dissipation.

This is particularly important in installations with high cable density, where temperature, order and accessibility directly affect the overall reliability of the system.

The open configuration also helps reduce dust accumulation and simplifies visual inspection of cable routes, making it easier to check the condition of the installation.

The advantages of the wire mesh structure

• Improved cable ventilation.
• Better heat dissipation.
• Reduced dust accumulation.
• Easier visual inspection.
• Immediate access to cables.
• Greater order in electrical and data cable routes.
• Easier maintenance operations.

Faster installation with the BF2R quick coupling system

The BASORFIL range includes the BF2R quick coupling system, designed to simplify cable tray assembly and reduce installation time.

This system allows the cable tray elements to be connected quickly, limiting the use of fixing accessories and improving the mechanical continuity of the route.

It is a particularly useful feature on industrial sites and in installations where installation time, precision and ease of operation are critical variables.

Reducing assembly complexity is not just a matter of convenience: it has a direct impact on installation costs, technical staff productivity and the final quality of the work.

Shorter installation times

The quick coupling system helps speed up installation activities, especially on linear or repetitive routes.

Fewer accessories

Reducing the number of fixing elements simplifies material management and makes installation cleaner.

Greater continuity

The cable route maintains improved mechanical continuity, enhancing order and stability throughout the installation.

Modularity for complex cable routes

Every system has its own constraints: available space, changes of direction, cable drops, branches, fixing points and the need to separate electrical and data lines.

This is why modularity becomes a decisive factor.

BASORFIL cable trays are available with a system of accessories that allows even complex configurations to be created, adapting the route to the real requirements of the installation.

Available elements include joints, supports, brackets, suspension systems, dividers and accessories for building articulated cable routes.

This flexibility allows greater freedom both during new installations and in the event of subsequent modifications. Because systems, as we know, start with a layout and then grow. Sometimes in an orderly way, sometimes with a little too much “unplanned creativity”.

Bends, branches and cable drops

The wire mesh structure makes the BASORFIL system particularly flexible when creating customised routes.

Bends, branches, changes of direction and cable drops can be managed in a practical way, adapting the route to the system architecture and to existing space constraints.

This feature is especially important in industrial environments, where machines, panels, production lines, existing cable management systems and support structures may impose specific constraints.

More orderly cable management

The flexibility of the system helps keep cable routes more orderly and easier to read.

This makes it easier to:

• separate cables;
• identify lines;
• access cables during interventions;
• expand the system in the future;
• reduce improvised solutions in the field.

Available materials and finishes

Choosing the right finish is essential to ensure durability, resistance and reliability over time.

Environmental conditions directly affect cable tray performance, especially in the presence of humidity, corrosive agents, demanding production environments or specific hygiene requirements.

The BASORFIL range is available in different versions to meet different application needs.

Main BASORFIL finishes

• EZ – electro-galvanised finish: suitable for standard applications in indoor environments.
• GC – hot-dip galvanised after fabrication: suitable when greater protection against corrosion is required.
• Stainless steel 304: ideal for food & beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
• Stainless steel 316: recommended for marine and highly corrosive environments.

Corrosion resistance: choosing the right finish

In many applications, corrosion resistance is an essential technical requirement.

Humid environments, production areas with frequent washdowns, outdoor installations, aggressive atmospheres or marine contexts require suitable materials and finishes.

The availability of different versions makes it possible to choose the BASORFIL cable tray best suited to the operating environment, avoiding solutions that are undersized or not consistent with the installation conditions.

Choosing the right finish means reducing the risk of deterioration, limiting maintenance interventions and increasing the useful life of the system. Corrosion, unfortunately, does not send a quotation before showing up.

BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays are used in many different contexts, thanks to their combination of lightness, resistance, modularity and ease of installation.

They are suitable both for new systems and for expansion or upgrade projects, where cable management needs to be improved without weighing down the structure or complicating future interventions.

• Corrosion resistance, thanks to the availability of different finishes and stainless steel versions.
• Simplified maintenance, because cables remain visible, accessible and orderly.

Choosing BASORFIL for cable management

Cable management is often considered a secondary issue, until the system becomes difficult to read, modify or maintain.

At that point, the problem is no longer aesthetic: it becomes operational.

BASORFIL cable trays allow this issue to be addressed in a structured way, offering a technical solution that combines installation simplicity, robustness and flexibility.

They are particularly suitable when the goal is to create orderly, accessible, ventilated cable routes that are compatible with future system developments.

A practical choice for efficient systems

BASORFIL is a suitable solution for those looking for:

• orderly electrical and data cable routes;
• reduced installation times;
• simpler maintenance;
• immediate access to cables;
• adaptability to complex layouts;
• materials suitable for different application environments;
• a cleaner technical design of the cable route.

BASORFIL for new installations and revamping projects

BASORFIL wire mesh cable trays can be used both in new installations and in update, expansion or revamping projects on existing systems.

In new projects, they make it possible to set up an orderly and scalable infrastructure from the very beginning.

In existing systems, they help improve cable management, increase accessibility and simplify future modifications.

In both cases, the advantage is the same: clearer, more controllable and more efficient cable management.
