The BA6 wiring channel made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the 40x40 mm version, colour stone grey (RAL 7030), is a system for structured and secure cable routing in electrical and IT installations. The manufacturer is Hager, and the product is available in the range as BA64004007030B. It is designed for orderly installation of cables and lines in indoor environments, where the slotted side walls enable flexible integration into existing installations. The system consists of a lower part with side punching and a matching upper part, which is included in the delivery scope.

Applications

The channel is designed for use in electrical and data installations in buildings, particularly in areas where clean and accessible cabling is required. The floor hole pattern complies with standard EN 50085, ensuring compatible mounting on standard mounting plates and in existing installation systems. The dimensions of 43 mm height, 47 mm width, and a length of 2000 mm make it suitable for installation in corridors, offices, server rooms, or technical rooms where high cable density needs to be managed.

Functions and equipment in detail

The lower part of the channel features a slotted side wall with a slot spacing of 6 mm and a slot width of 4 mm. This design allows for flexible mounting and easy integration into existing installations. The upper part is fixed to the lower part and seals the channel, protecting the cables from mechanical damage and external influences. The stone grey colour (RAL 7030) ensures discreet integration into architecturally demanding environments.

Technology explained simply

The channel is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a robust and widely used plastic in electrical installations. It is rigid, not flexible, ensuring stable and shape-stable cable guidance. The usable internal cross-section is 1786 mm², sufficient to route multiple cables or lines simultaneously. Material properties include self-extinguishing characteristics classified according to UL 94 V0, as well as fire resistance class M1, which enhances safety in fire hazards. Creepage resistance is ensured, which is important for electrical safety in damp or contaminated environments. The product is RoHS-compliant and free of REACh SVHC, supporting environmental compatibility and use in sensitive applications.

Compatibility and accessories

Various accessories are available for mounting and extending the system. These include spacers in sizes 20 mm (item M5159) and 12 mm (item M51592), which enable secure and stable mounting of the channel onto the base. As a suitable accessory, the V-channel OT PVC BA6 B=40 mm stone grey (item B4004027030) is also available, serving as an additional cover or extension of the system. For cutting the channel, the L5561 channel shear with a cutting length of 85 mm is suitable for precise trimming.

Mounting and installation

Mounting is done via screw fastening or riveting, with the floor hole pattern complying with EN 50085. This allows for easy and standardised fastening to mounting plates or other substrates. Fastening is done through the pre-drilled holes in the lower part, ensuring secure and durable anchoring. Installation requires no special tools other than a screwdriver or riveting tool, depending on the chosen fastening method.

Advantages in operation

The BA6 wiring channel offers clear and structured cable routing, simplifying maintenance and expansion of the installation. The slotted side walls allow flexible adaptation to different mounting conditions. The self-extinguishing property and fire resistance class M1 enhance operational safety. The combination of robust material, standard-compliant fastening, and environmentally compatible properties makes the product a reliable solution for professional installations.
