Phoenix Contact White and Blue Wire Duct
Blue and White Wire Duct

Phoenix Contact's wiring duct provides easy cable management as it organizes cable wires in the control cabinet, but its specially contoured cover is easy to attach and remove yet still creates a secure, tight fit. To easily remove sidewall fingers or the wall section for your wire and cable, simply bend the flexible wire duct finger at the score line and force the finger inward or outward.  No special tools are required and no sharp edges result from snapped fingers.

Certain applications, such as the biotech, oil & gas, food industries and Intrinsically Safe environments, will require the use of white or blue wire duct. This duct has the same key features as our standard wire duct, including the easy-on/easy-off wire duct cover, a single part number for both the duct and cover and two score lines for easily breaking the duct fingers and walls. The white or blue wire ducts are available in the same height, width sizes and 2 m lengths as our standard wire duct. The PVC material has a V0 inflammability rating as per UL 94.
