• Wireways are designed to protect cables from
environmental contaminants such as dust, dirt, oil, and
water. It also called as "troughs" or "gutters" and can
be mounted to walls or ceilings, secured under flooring,
or laid out in a hybrid design in unique cable
management systems.
• A wireway is also produced as a metallic or non-

Screw Driver
• These tools are made of
steel hardened and
tempered at the tip used
to loosen or tighten
screws with slotted
heads. They come in
various sizes and shapes
File
• This is a tool used to remove
fine amounts of material from
