Shielded wireway systems

Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a duct for a shielded wireway system. The duct includes a bottom wall, two sidewalls extending from the bottom wall, and a plurality of fingers extending from each of the sidewalls. Adjacent fingers are connected by at least one bridging component. The bottom wall, the sidewalls, and a portion of the fingers, including the bridging component, are shielded.

1 . A divider for a shielded wireway system, the divider comprising:
 a bottom wall; and   a plurality of sidewall sections extending from the bottom wall; and   a plurality of bridging components connecting adjacent sidewall sections,   wherein the bottom wall and at least a portion of each of the sidewall sections, including the bridging components, are shielded.   
     
     
         2 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall sections extend along a longitudinal edge of the bottom wall. 
     
     
         3 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall sections are perpendicular to the bottom wall. 
     
     
         4 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the adjacent sidewall sections are separated by at least one slot. 
     
     
         5 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall and the sidewall sections form a channel for routing wires. 
     
     
         6 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the divider is L-shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The divider of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall and the at least a portion of each of the sidewall sections, including the bridging components, are metal. 
     
     
         8 . The divider wall of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall includes a plurality of mounting openings. 
     
     
         9 . The divider wall of  claim 1 , wherein each of the sidewall sections includes a plurality of cable pass-through openings. 
     
     
         10 . A duct for a shielded wireway system, the duct comprising:
 a bottom wall;   two sidewalls extending from the bottom wall to a sidewall height;   a plurality of fingers extending from each of the sidewalls to a finger height; and   a plurality of bridging components connecting adjacent fingers,   wherein the finger height is greater than the sidewall height, and   wherein the bottom wall, the sidewalls, and at least a portion of the fingers, including the bridging components, are shielded.   
     
     
         11 . A duct for a shielded wireway system, the duct comprising:
 a bottom wall;   two sidewalls extending from the bottom wall to a sidewall height; and   a plurality of fingers extending from each of the sidewalls to a finger height,   wherein the sidewall height is greater than the finger height, and   wherein the bottom wall and the sidewalls are shielded.
