Pallet bridge and channel bridge are two common types of cable bridge, they have some differences in structure, use and installation. The following are the main differences between them:

Appearance and structure:

Tray type bridge: imagine a series of parallel open trays, like a horizontal and vertical grid, usually square or rectangular in shape. These trays are spaced apart to resemble a mesh structure.

Slotted Bridges: Slotted bridges look like rows of parallel slots, each of which is like a small channel for cables. They are arranged in a linear fashion and are usually used to hold cables individually.

Cable routing:

Tray type bridge: Because there are gaps between trays, multiple cables can be routed within the same tray or between different trays, which allows for more flexible cable paths.

Slot Bridge: each slot holds one cable independently, so the cables in each slot are isolated from each other and cannot be moved between different slots.

Uses and Scenarios:

Tray bridges: suitable for environments where multiple cables need to be supported and protected, such as in industrial facilities and power stations, as they provide a larger wiring capacity.

Trough bridges: are more suitable where cable independence needs to be maintained and cables need to avoid interfering with each other, such as inside buildings.

Installation complexity:

Tray bridges: easier to install and maintain due to the relatively open structure, allowing cables to be freely routed within the tray.

Trough Bridges: Cables need to be routed in each individual trough, which can make installation slightly more complex.
