Raceway and Cable Management Software

Conquer complexity with unified design

Meet all of your communication, control, and power cabling needs by using Bentley Raceway and Cable Management.

What is Bentley Raceway and Cable Management?

Save time and reduce costs with an integrated application for raceway system layout, cable routing, and material estimating. Design and model complex raceway systems with 3D cable routing in one solution.

  • Remove the complication of multiple applications and provide the complete layout, routing, and material estimating functions in a single, integrated system
  • Create an effective and accurate raceway model, spanning all phases of the design—from initial concept to detailed layout and construction
  • Model cable trays, ladders, and baskets within a building as well as underground systems, such as Trench and Duct Bank
  • Import cable lists, define equipment locations, and perform cable routing
  • Visualize 3D cables in raceway systems to enable more robust design reviews
  • Perform Cable Length and Tray Fill Calculations
  • Computer screen of Bentley Raceway and Cable Management showing plant information from model

    Perform Cable Length and Tray Fill Calculations

    • Find the shortest routes with automatic cable routing, minimizing cable lengths to reduce project costs
    • Calculate cable tray raceway fill and automatically reroute cables to avoid overfilling, saving valuable design time
    • Visualize raceway fill levels with user defined color coding in the 3D model to identify under or overutilized raceway systems

Featured User Stories

“Bentley solutions were implemented throughout this project, with Bentley Substation used for primary and secondary design and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management for cable routing design. Using symbol libraries and report templates, we were able to easily produce design drawings in 2D and 3D and automatically generate the reports.” 

-Sean Lee, Assistant Manager, Pestech International

Frequently Asked Questions

Designing complex raceway and cable systems shouldn’t require multiple software applications to handle the wide range of design and documentation tasks typically involved. Bentley Raceway and Cable Management provides complete layout, routing, and material estimating functions in a single, integrated system. It creates the framework for an effective workflow spanning all phases of the design, from initial concept to detailed layout and construction.

If you want to receive tailored training or attend a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management course, Virtuosity offers extra training and mentoring services. You can choose from tailor-made training, on-demand learning, consulting services, mentoring and more.

The price of Bentley Raceway and Cable Management varies per region. While there are various types of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license offered through Bentley’s eStore. When you purchase through the eStore, you get a Virtuoso Subscription which means you get both the software and the training, expert services, and custom mentoring you need to get started quickly

Bentley raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition is a 64-bit application, compatible only with 64-bit Operating Systems.

Bentley raceway and Cable Management supports Microsoft Office 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Microsoft Excel must be installed to import cable and equipment information from spreadsheets. Importing from .XLSX files is only possible when Excel 2010 or higher is installed.
