For electrical contractors and installers, cable management is about more than keeping wires organized. It’s about getting the job done efficiently, adapting to field conditions, and building a system that supports the needs of the facility long after installation is complete.
Eaton B-Line’s KwikSplice cable channel product line is designed with these challenges in mind. Featuring an innovative dovetail side rail and guided splice plate system, KwikSplice helps simplify assembly, accommodate changing cable routes, and reduce installation complexity. For projects where labor efficiency and installation flexibility matter, it offers a practical approach to cable channel installation.
Designed to Make Installation Easier
One of the biggest advantages of KwikSplice is its connection system. The dovetail side rail and guided splice plates help installers connect straight sections and fittings quickly, without the need for drilling at standard splice connections. Fittings also come with splice plates and hardware factory-installed, reducing the number of components installers need to handle and assemble in the field.
KwikSplice straight sections are available in 20-foot lengths, allowing contractors to cover longer runs with fewer connections. Compared with 10-foot sections, 20-foot spans can reduce the number of required supports by 50%, depending on the installation design. That can mean fewer support points to install and less time spent assembling the system.
The channel also can be cut and spliced at different points along the run, providing flexibility when field conditions require adjustments. This is particularly useful when working around existing equipment, structural elements, or other building systems.
Options for Different Cable Management Needs
The KwikSplice line includes several straight-channel configurations to accommodate different applications:
- Ventilated cable channel with pass-through: Designed to support cable routing while providing pass-through options for cable access and transitions.
- Ventilated cable channel: Offers a ventilated design for cable management applications where that configuration is appropriate.
- Non-ventilated, solid-bottom cable channel: Provides a solid bottom for installations that call for a different channel configuration.
Available sizes vary by product type, with aluminum straight sections offered in multiple widths and lengths. Selecting the right configuration depends on the application, cable requirements, and installation layout.
Fittings That Keep Projects Moving
Cable routes rarely follow a perfectly straight path. KwikSplice fittings help installers navigate those changes with a range of connection options, including 45- and 90-degree horizontal bends, horizontal tees and crosses, and 45- and 90-degree inside and outside vertical bends.
Because the fittings include factory-mounted splice plates and hardware, they help simplify transitions and reduce field assembly steps. For layouts that require additional flexibility, adjustable splice plates allow horizontal or vertical changes from 0 to 90 degrees. Reducer plates connect channel sections of different widths, helping accommodate changes in the cable route.
Accessories for a More Complete Installation
The right accessories can make a significant difference in installation efficiency and cable protection. KwikSplice offers support brackets that attach to the channel’s dovetail side rail without drilling, along with brackets for mounting parallel or perpendicular channel runs.
Cable exit options include end dropouts, side rail dropouts, and cable drop openings. A cable channel bushing helps protect cables from mechanical wear, while blind ends and frame-type connectors provide options for terminating runs or connecting channel to distribution cabinets and control centers.
Covers are also available for applications that require additional cable protection or isolation. As with any cable management system, the appropriate configuration and accessories should be selected based on project conditions and installation requirements.
