Cable duct / wire guide Rittal Drahtführung, light grey

Rittal Drahtführung cable duct in light grey is a purpose-built wire guide for organizing electrical cables inside enclosures, control cabinets and industrial switchgear. Designed to provide a stable channel for routing conductors, this single-piece cable duct helps maintain clear cable runs, reduce clutter and support convenient access for installation and maintenance tasks. The neutral light grey finish integrates with standard electrical panels and aids visual identification of routed wiring paths.

Advantages

The Rittal Drahtführung offers a simple, robust solution for cable management in electrical assemblies. Its rigid construction supports cables along their route, minimises sagging and keeps conductors separated from moving parts and other components. The light grey colour provides a professional, unobtrusive appearance that blends with typical control cabinet interiors. Supplied as a single unit, it is ready to install and reduces the need for ad-hoc cable supports.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Routing and organising power and control cables inside control cabinets
• Wire management in industrial switchgear and distribution panels
• Creating defined cable channels for easier maintenance and troubleshooting
• Use in electrical assemblies where a rigid wire guide is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable duct is intended for routing and guiding cables within enclosures and may not be suitable where flexible cable protection, heavy mechanical impact resistance or IP-rated external exposure is required. It is a single-piece duct supplied per pack; larger installations requiring multiple lengths or specialised mounting accessories may need additional components.

Key specifications

• Colour: Light grey
• Quantity per pack: 1 piece
• Weight: 339 g

How to use

Position the Rittal Drahtführung inside the enclosure along the intended cable route and secure it according to the cabinet manufacturer’s mounting provisions or recommended fastening points. Lay cables into the guide ensuring they sit without excessive tension and maintain appropriate separation between power and control conductors where required. During installation and later maintenance, use the guide to keep cable runs organised and to simplify access to individual conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the physical dimensions and mounting compatibility with your enclosure or panel layout.
• Confirm the duct material and mechanical properties meet the required environment and handling conditions.
• Assess whether additional lengths or mounting accessories are needed for larger installations.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, plan cable routes before installation, avoid overfilling the duct to prevent conductor compression, and follow applicable electrical separation and earthing practices. Pair the Rittal Drahtführung with compatible mounting hardware and cable ties as needed to maintain tidy and safe wiring within control cabinets.
