Colour Coding for Optimum Cable Management

With the ever increasing demand for zero down-time solutions in data centers and Telecommunications networks there has been a growing need for redundancy cable systems.

To route both operating and redundant optic fibers in the yellow coloured ducting can create problems in identification of the redundant fiber and/or system. As a result there is an obvious need to differentiate between the operating and redundant networks of fiber optic cabling.  To minimise the potential for costly mistakes in this area, Warren & Brown Technologies have introduced Orange ducting which is recommended for highlighting the redundant fiber network, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

Parallel to the redundancy needs, a new issue has arisen in installations. The state-of-art 10 Gigabit copper UTP cabling also has very high demands on bend radius. This requires a new approach to the conventional metal cable trays (ladders, baskets etc).  The conventional metal trays are not designed to provide safe bending radius and as a result Warren & Brown Technologies has introduced Black Ducting.
Again, this new black Lightpaths ducting has the same unique features and benefits of the yellow and orange ducting and allows clear distinction of the sensitive 10 Gigabit copper UTP cabling from the two Lightpaths optic fiber systems.

Note: All part numbers listed on the website are for Yellow ducting, so when ordering black or orange ducting just add “O” for orange or “B” for black to the end of the relevant part number.
We also have available a range of grey duct. For this just add “G” to the part number.
