Core Definition: The Vertical Backbone for Cables A Vertical Cable Tray is a specialized support system designed to carry electrical and data cables
INTRODUCTION The B-Line series Cable Tray Manual was produced by our technical staff. We recognize the need for a complete cable tray reference source for electrical engineers and designers.
The cable should not be allowed to have a straight vertical run without the addition of a tension relieving section. This normally involves the cable having a short horizontal section (at least 1 metre) included
Not all cable trays are equivalent. The mechanical and electrical characteristics, tests, certifications, overall quality management, recommendations mentioned in this technical guide only apply to our
