Due to their exposure to the open air because of the cable trays, the wires contained within need a very durable outer covering. The regulations dictate that the cables must either be Type TC (also known as Tray Rated) or must be metal-armored (Type MC). 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.
