Can I cut ladder rack to best support my needs?
It is not uncommon for an installer to take a ladder rack piece and cut it to the length that best supports the needs of the installation. Most ladder rack pieces come in 5 and 10 foot lengths so if those lengths do not fit your needs then you can use a standard hack saw and cut the ladder rack to the length you need.
What kind of cables can I support using ladder rack?
In the past it was most common to see your standard cables like Cat5e, Cat 6, and fiber-optic cables dressed onto a ladder rack. But since almost every system is not networkable the cables that can be supported using ladder rack is really limitless. It really comes down to the architecture of your systems and the position of the equipment you use. The modem network is more robust than ever. It is not uncommon to see cables on a ladder rack that are specific to security, surveillance, video, sound, access control, and network systems. Using ladder rack to manage just about any cabling or wiring requirements is a plus!
Can I run power cables on a ladder rack?
Yes you can but you do not want to run them over or right next to your low voltage cables. It is best to separate the high power and low voltage cables. Since the ladder rack is 12 inches wide you have the room to run the power cables on one side of the ladder rack and the low voltage cables on the opposite side. This will give you the separation you need to ensure your network signals are not interrupted or inferred by the power cables.
