Frequently Asked Questions - AFR4JB2S Panduit

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a 5/32" concrete drill bit for concrete screws, a drill, screwdriver, level, and measuring tape. For drywall, a drywall saw or hole saw may be required.

Can this raceway be used for both power and data cables?

Yes, the raceway has separate inner and outer channels for power and data cables. Follow the fill capacity guidelines to maintain separation and avoid interference.

How do I cut the raceway to length?

Use a fine-tooth saw or raceway cutter. Measure and mark the desired length, then cut squarely. Deburr edges with a file to prevent cable damage.

What is the maximum fill capacity for Cat 6A cables?

For Cat 6A cables in outer channels, the maximum fill is 60% at 0.3" diameter. In inner channels, also 60% at 0.3". Do not exceed these limits.

Are the screws provided suitable for all mounting surfaces?

No, the provided concrete screws are intended for concrete surfaces. For wood or metal, use appropriate fasteners (screws or bolts) suited to the mounting surface.

How do I install the junction box?

The junction box can be assembled between two raceway paths using two coupler fittings. Ensure end caps and couplers connect as shown in the manual (8 places). It does not require direct screwing into infrastructure.

Can the raceway be installed on existing drywall?

Yes, for brownfield applications, cut a hole in the drywall to the specified dimensions, then secure the base to the sole board and route cables.

What is the maximum distance the base can extend beyond the cover?

When installing the end cap, the maximum allowable distance the base can extend beyond the cover is 0.3 inches.

Is the cover removable after installation?

No, the covers are tamper-proof and not intended for easy removal. Route all cables before installing the cover.

How do I secure the raceway for a table leg installation?

Center the table leg transition fitting about 3-1/4" from the edge of the raceway cover. Secure mounting bracket to the table underside using provided hardware. Ensure the channel is level and pre-drill holes if needed.
