You need to know that we need to maintain a vertical space between the basket tray and the cable trunk with a minimum distance of 30 cm. The bottom layer will be a solid bottom cable trunk for electrical circuits with 150x100mm, while the upper layer will be a basket tray for a structured cabling system with 150x100mm. In our example today, we will have two-layer support. In this post, we will see know together how to install cable tray on-site.įirstly, we need to have an approved shop drawing that will show the cable tray route, its dimensions, installation height, support system, the number of layers of these trays, and the type of systems that these trays will serve. By being installed and engineered properly, cable trays also provide a safe and secure work environment for workers in any application.
When properly installed, cable trays prevent damage to cabling and the area’s structural integrity. Cable tray systems are designed to install easily and accommodate the use of power, communications, and signal cabling in a variety of applications.
