Catamount® Wiring Duct

Designed to meet the needs of installers

• For machine builders & OEMs: Standardized slot sizes and consistent geometry are designed to support repeatable panel layouts and efficient assembly across builds, facilitating volume production with a focus on essential features and without added complexity.
• For panel shops: Duct and cover are provided under one part number, designed to simplify quoting, reduce ordering errors, and streamline inventory management, ideal for teams handling multiple panel variants.
• For contractors & maintenance: V-shaped slot entries and burr-free edges are intended to support easier wire insertion and help protect insulation during retrofit or service work.

Why choose Catamount® Wiring Duct?

Because it is designed to support efficient, organized wiring in standard control panel and OEM applications. Its value‑engineered design focuses on essential installation features that help simplify routing, material selection, and panel layout across everyday builds. By providing consistent dimensions and practical installation features, Catamount helps support repeatable installation practices and standardized panel designs.

Key advantages

• Fewer SKUs, fewer errors: A single part number includes duct + cover, reducing SKU complexity for both distributors and builders.
• Built for the “standard” job: Positioned as a right‑sized solution, it meets standards without premium features not required in everyday builds.
• Consistent, repeatable results: Practical design elements aim to support efficient routing and standardized layouts across repeat builds.

The product features that matter

Catamount® wiring duct incorporates practical design features intended to support efficient installation and professional panel layouts:

• V‑shaped slot entries: Assist wire insertion and routing during assembly, especially in repeat/volume builds where speed and consistency matter.
• Burr‑free interior: Intended to help protect conductor insulation from abrasion during pull and service—important in maintenance cycles.
• Cover retention: Designed to keep wiring protected after installation and transport, supporting reliable field performance.
• Integrated break lines: Enable cleaner, tool‑free finger removal to fine‑tune routing and access.
• Duct + cover under one code: Simplifies BOMs, reduces picking errors, and supports clean replenishment processes for shops and distributors.

Technical specifications of Catamount® Wiring Duct

These specifications make Catamount a reliable fit for standard panel applications where installers need materials that:

• Thermal resistance: operates reliably within the typical control‑panel temperature range (–15 °C to +60 °C).
• Flame resistance: meets UL 94 V‑0 requirements, supporting compliance for a wide range of OEM and industrial applications.
• Standardized geometries: available in 4/6 mm and 8/12 mm slot sizes to accommodate common wiring densities.
• Standard 2 m length: designed for easy, repeatable use in assembly lines and multi‑station workflows.

Application depth & use-case

• Industrial control panels: Supports clean routing in both line‑voltage and low‑voltage wiring sections, especially where repeatable layouts matter for compliance and QA documentation.
• OEM machinery: Value‑engineered profile suits equipment builders balancing cost and performance, no unnecessary complexity while meeting essential technical standards.
• Maintenance & retrofit: Burr‑free edges and V‑slot entries ease rewiring or circuit additions, important for contractors servicing older systems.

Accessories & system components

• Replacement covers: Secure retention features ensure covers remain in place even during vibration or transport, reducing the risk of exposed conductors.
• Plastic rivets & mounting hardware: Designed for consistent fastening strength and compatibility with the duct’s reinforced base, ensuring dependable installation over time.
• Cable retention devices: Provide added stability in vertical routing scenarios or applications with higher conductor movement (machine environments).
