Why Choose the ABB 05425 Flexible Wiring Duct?
The ABB 05425 is a 50 × 50 mm flexible thermoplastic wiring duct supplied in 500 mm lengths, designed for electrical panel applications where cabling is subject to movement, bending or twisting. Its flexible construction makes it particularly useful for routing conductors between enclosure bodies and hinged doors or other moving sections of electrical equipment.
Unlike conventional rigid slotted trunking, the 05425 uses a flexible ribbed construction with a 7.5/5 mm slot pitch. The alternating ribs angle slightly inwards to help cables enter and leave the duct while retaining them during movement. The open design has no separate cover, allowing installed conductors to remain visible and accessible.
Manufactured from RAL 7040 grey insulating thermoplastic, the ABB 05425 is shock-resistant, self-extinguishing to UL 94 V-2 and resistant to acids, oils and greases. It is rated for continuous temperatures up to 80 °C and short temperature peaks up to 110 °C, making it well suited to demanding industrial panel-building applications.

Flexible Cable Routing for Moving Panel Connections
Electrical wiring between a control-panel body and a hinged door must accommodate repeated movement whenever the enclosure is opened or closed. The ABB 05425 provides a dedicated flexible cable-routing path for this type of installation, allowing conductors to bend and twist while remaining grouped and organised.
Its alternating rib design helps retain cables while making them straightforward to insert or remove, and the absence of a cover means the wiring remains visible throughout the duct. These characteristics make the 05425 suitable not only for enclosure doors but also for industrial applications where wiring passes between components that experience relative movement.
Typical Applications
- Electrical panel-to-door wiring connections.
- Hinged control-panel and switchboard doors.
- Industrial automation enclosures.
- Machine control panels.
- Wiring routes subject to bending and twisting.
- Flexible routing of control and signal conductors.
- Panel-building and electrical system integration projects.
