Eaton DROP OUT SS6 Drop Out Cable Tray - UL Classified
Part Number: DROP OUT SS6
Quick Summary
DROP OUT SS6 is a drop-out cable tray accessory that enables secure cable routing in electrical enclosures. Without a robust drop-out, field wiring can be bulky, misrouted, or difficult to service. This component carries CSA compliance and UL Classified certification, signaling safety and reliability for industrial installations. Designed to integrate with Eaton's B-Line Flextray system, it helps protect conductors, reduces installation time, and lowers life-cycle costs. The stainless steel finish offers corrosion resistance in challenging environments, while the 4 inch by 4 inch footprint simplifies compatibility with existing tray layouts. For procurement teams, the unit weight of 0.7 lb and compact 4 in length help reduce shipping costs and improve rack density.

Robust steel construction with stainless steel type 316 finish delivers exceptional durability in demanding environments. This translates into longer service life and lower maintenance costs for critical electrical installations. It is ideal for Eaton B-Line Flextray drop-out applications where corrosion resistance is essential. Compact 4 x 4 inch footprint and light 0.7 lb weight minimize enclosure crowding and simplify retrofits. Because it occupies minimal space and adds little load, facilities can preserve rack density and reduce shipping impact. UL Classified and CSA compliance provide regulatory assurance. This reduces audit time and boosts cross-site safety standardization, which is especially valuable for multi-site manufacturers with strict quality programs. Compatibility with Flextray systems ensures straightforward installation and consistent finishing. The drop-out is designed to align with standard cable trays, enabling quick field changes without special tools. Drop-out design enables controlled cable breakout, reducing misrouting and tangles while supporting rapid branching for repairs or expansions. This capability translates into less on-site downtime and faster project turnover. Industry context and value: In facilities leveraging Eaton Flextray, standardized drop-out components like DROP OUT SS6 accelerate commissioning, support scalable wiring schemes, and simplify ongoing maintenance workflows. Installation best practices and compatibility: The DROP OUT SS6 is designed for straightforward field retrofit within Eaton B-Line Flextray layouts. Use standard fasteners compatible with the channel system and align the drop-out with tray features to maintain a clean load path. Its compact 4 in by 4 in footprint simplifies enclosure planning and reduces the risk of interference with adjacent cables or components. Cost of ownership and maintenance considerations: The stainless steel type 316 finish delivers long-term corrosion resistance, which lowers replacement intervals in damp or coastal environments. While upfront material cost is higher than basic steel, the total cost of ownership drops through fewer outages, easier future expansions, and faster audits thanks to consistent cable management standards.
