Home / How far should the cable tray be from the bottom of the beam
In general, vertical spacing for cable trays should be 30 cm (12 in), measured from the bottom of the upper tray to the top of the lower tray. This is a description of how to select, install, and support these metal or plastic frames, on which electrical wires are installed. Wire Mesh Cable Trays are mainly used for telecommunication and fiber optic cables. Any installed cable ladder, cable tray or channel support system can be considered structurally as a loaded beam (Figures 2); four basic beam configurations may be found in a typical installation: • Simply supported beam • Fixed beam • Continuous beam • Cantilever A single length of cable ladder.
The NEC requires that cable trays must be supported by members at an interval specified by the cable tray manufacturer, but not more than 5 feet for horizontal runs to support the weight of
