Product Data Sheet    

BT3BC5



5 ft. length (1.52m) base and cover.
BaseTrak is a three channel nonmetallic raceway that provides wire and cable management for multiple or large services. Power and low voltage cabling can be combined in the same raceway because of integral barriers in the raceway. The neutral office white color will blend in with virtually any decor. There is a full complement of boxes and fittings to create a system for almost any application. Base, cover, and fittings snap together for easy assembly.

BaseTrak raceway power and voice/data cabling capabilities can be significantly expanded with the use of large radius category 5 compliant elbows and fittings. These fittings maintain a minimum 1-¼" cable bending radius at all corners along the raceway system. Each UL listed external, flat, and internal elbow includes a cover and a molded base, which maintain the raceway's three channel separation. The molded base also eliminates the need to miter cut the raceway at corners. The BaseTrak to WallTrak® 22 tee fitting does not have a molded base. It is used to transition from BaseTrak to WallTrak 22 raceway, while maintaining cable bend control of data cables.

Three box styles provide capacity and appearance options. A unique 2-gang box allows the combination of power and low voltage wiring in the same box.

Nonmetallic construction cuts and assembles easily, saving installation costs.
