Review on 🔌 Stageek Cable Raceway Kit - Open Slot Wiring Raceway Duct with Cover, On-Wall Cable Concealer for TVs and Computers - 9x15.4inch, Black by Larry Simpson

This kit was obtained from the FRC robot assembly team. It provides fast and easy horizontal routing for PWM, sensor, CAN bus and some low power cables. Vertical traces from source or destination are routed vertically in or out of the raceway by regularly spaced access fingers on the sides, which not only helps but helps (along with regular strain relief and binding) for a clean and tidy appearance of the control board. methods) to reduce connection problems due to vibration and shock during competition. For the size of the robots we make, we only need one section per robot, so with 9 sections we have a supply that will last us for several years. easy to cut to length, most conveniently with tin snips or wire cutters before assembly, or even very carefully with a utility knife after assembly (in case you accidentally leave it on too long like our team did!). The final length for this year's contest robot was 13-1/2 inches. The capacity of this track is just right for the number of cables we need to run, but each has specific requirements that can vary, so make sure this trunking can accommodate your volume requirements. Easy to install with just pre-applied double-sided tape that sticks firmly to our Lexan base. Entry and exit routing for ribbon cables, jacketed cables and individual cable bundles is just a throw away. Cables are easily placed by bending (or cutting) the conductor pin closest to the entry/exit point. The only imperfect component is the lid - for a stationary use, fingers hold it well enough, but where it should be. removed/replaced quite often during assembly and then subjected to varying impulse forces, a little more attention is required to ensure the retainer notch engages the raceway side pins along its entire length. one star but deserves a mention. We decided to see what happened during our first 'as is' competition and found the lid was still attached. However, at our next event, we'll likely add some zip ties around the perimeter to secure the lid.
