The National Electrical Code (NEC) covers many aspects of cable tray supports and fittings. This is a description of how to select, install, and support these metal or plastic frames, on which electrical wires are installed. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require.
