Re: Cable Trough or Cable Chain

Hi all,

I used a section of Uni-strut laid out under the carriage and inside
the uni-strut, I laid Seal-Tite electrical conduit. it has a PVC
jacket and is really just flexible metallic conduit. I do not expect
a lifetime from it, but have it as a yearly replaceable component. I
don't have 100 hours on the machine, so I cannot offer any comments
on life of the unit.

I am looking for a replacement so I am interested in this thread. I
don't like the $10-15.00 a foot cost for the plastic cable carriers.

Snaptrac and Catrac are products by Ametec, but I could not find any
details on the products.

Hubble/Gleeson Reid have a line too

Seems that the cost is pretty high for this stuff as it comes in so
many sizes that production must be limited.
