What type of floor raceway is designed with a metallic structure?

Cellular metal floor raceways are specifically designed with a metallic structure to house and manage wiring and cables in a commercial or industrial setting. These raceways are constructed from metal, typically steel or aluminum, providing robustness and durability. Their design often incorporates pre-punched openings that allow for easy access and installation of wiring as well as significant flexibility in changing configurations as needs evolve.

Additionally, the metallic construction enhances protection against physical damage and environmental influences, making cellular metal floor raceways suitable for heavy-duty applications where both safety and performance are critical. This is particularly important for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems in demanding environments.

In contrast, surface metal raceways are also metallic but are installed on surfaces rather than in the floor, while nonmetallic wireways are made of plastic or other non-conductive materials, which serves entirely different applications and environments. Strut-type channel raceway typically refers to a framing system, not specifically designed for floor installations like cellular metal floor raceways.
