ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 10 Sep 2024

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

Wall-mounted FTTH cable tray installations in Australia can be achieved using robust cable trays, compatible hangers, brackets, and support systems from local suppliers like EzyStrut, Blitz Systems, RS Components, and Walraven.

Cable Tray Options

For FTTH deployments, lightweight, durable cable trays are recommended. Options include:

  • Pre-galvanised or hot-dip galvanised steel trays for corrosion resistance and structural strength, compliant with AS4680:2006 standards .
  • Aluminium trays for lightweight applications and ease of handling .
  • Ventilated or ladder-style trays to allow airflow and prevent heat buildup, suitable for fiber optic cables .
  • Solid-bottom trays for maximum protection in areas prone to dust or debris .
Wall-Mounted Support Systems

To mount trays on walls, several support solutions are available:

  • Cable tray hangers and brackets: These are fixed to the wall via supporting flanges and provide horizontal support for the tray .
  • Adjustable wall brackets: Allow positioning trays at various heights and angles, accommodating different building layouts .
  • Pre-configured support systems: Blitz Systems offers solutions that reduce on-site cutting and installation time, providing a clean and efficient setup .
  • Customisable supports: EzyStrut and Walraven provide tailored solutions for unusual locations or high-load requirements, including fire-rated options .
Accessories and Installation Considerations
  • Couplers, tees, and crosses: Facilitate directional changes and branching of cable trays .
  • Clamps and clips: Secure fiber optic cables within the tray to prevent movement and maintain bend radius .
  • Seismic or fire-rated supports: For compliance in commercial or industrial installations .
  • Height and spacing: Ensure proper clearance from walls and other services, typically following manufacturer guidelines for load and span .
Local Suppliers in Australia
  • EzyStrut: Offers a wide range of steel and aluminium trays, including customised solutions for high-volume or specialist installations .
  • Blitz Systems: Provides pre-configured wall-mounted supports and hangers for fast, clean installations .
  • RS Components: Supplies a variety of cable tray accessories, hangers, and brackets suitable for FTTH applications .
  • Walraven Australia: Offers tailored wall-mounted support systems for different tray widths and heights, with technical support for complex installations .

By selecting the appropriate tray type, wall-mounted brackets, and accessories, FTTH cable trays can be securely installed in compliance with Australian standards, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
