AL5200 RACEWAY WIRE FILL CAPACITIES FOR DATA/COMMUNICATIONS1
1Capacity range is calculated at 40% of raceway areas based on pending changes to the Commercial Buildings Standard for Telecommunication Pathways and Spaces,
EIA/TIA-569. Caution: Capacity for radial bonds reduce to 20% of raceway area.

AL5214 Wall Box Connector connects to two in line AL5200B base sections via
AL5201 Couplings supplied.

Base Sections
At AL5200B Base section butt joints:
slide two (2) AL5201 Couplings into
first base section. Mount next base
to surface. Center couplings on joint.
Tighten locking screws.
Snap in AL5200D Divider into raceway base
as shown. Refer to cross-sectional drawings
above for versatile divider locations.
Position AL5209 Ground Clamp into ribs in
AL5200B Base. Fasten mounting screw.
