Cable raceway

Abstract

A cable raceway assembly includes an elongated raceway adapted for being mounted to a supporting structure. The raceway defines an open, upward-facing trough for receiving a cable and includes a mounting structure for attaching the raceway to the supporting structure. A fluid-resistant cover is attached to the raceway. The cover encloses at least a portion of the trough and forms a flowpath for directing fluid over and away from the trough.

1 . A cable raceway assembly, comprising: 
 an elongated raceway adapted for being mounted to a supporting structure, said raceway defining an open, upward-facing trough for receiving a cable, said raceway including a mounting structure for attaching said raceway to said supporting structure; and    a fluid-resistant cover attached to said raceway, said cover enclosing at least a portion of said trough and forming a flowpath for directing fluid over and away from said trough.    
     
     
         2 . The cable raceway of  claim 1 , wherein said mounting structure comprises a plurality of mounting tabs attached to said raceway, each of said mounting tabs comprising an upstanding structure having a lower end attached to said raceway and an upper end which carries a laterally-extending mounting pin.  
     
     
         3 . The cable raceway assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said raceway includes a stiffening structure.  
     
     
         4 . The cable raceway of  claim 1 , wherein said cover includes a pair of spaced-apart locking ribs for securing said cover to said raceway.  
     
     
         5 . The cable raceway of  claim 4 , wherein said raceway includes a pair of space-apart side edges for engaging said locking ribs.  
     
     
         6 . The cable raceway assembly of  claim 4 , wherein said cover includes a central section and a pair of spaced-apart downwardly-extending flanges disposed at the outer edges thereof, said locking ribs being carried by said downwardly-extending flanges.
