ACCESS 5000 RACEWAY WIRE CAPACITIES FOR POWER
ACCESS 5000 RACEWAY WIRE FILL CAPACITIES FOR COMMUNICATIONS
* 20% cable fill is calculated to approximate reduction in cable capacity due to connectors mounted within raceway
and fittings that may restrict cross sectional area.
** 40% cable fill is the maximum designed cable fill based on a proposed revision to TIA/EIA 569-A.
NOTE: Raceway wire capacities are based upon loose conductors. Do not bundle conductors in raceway.
