Lbs Per Foot

[Alwayslearningelec]

I need to include seismic for my conduit racks.

I have low voltage conduits with either cat 6 or 2P/#22 cables.

I need seimic if my conduits racks are more than 5lbs per ft.

How would I calculate this?

Take the conduit weight listed on the spec sheet along with cable weight and make sure I multiple by # of runs?

There are tables on the internet that show conduit with feeders / circuits, but none that I've seen for comm cables. Your method is likely the simplest.

I agree with Roger. If you have the weights in a spec sheet, just calculate it out
