Horizontal spacing of cable trays and pipes

Home / Horizontal spacing of cable trays and pipes

Horizontal Runs: Cables should be secured at their start, end, and turns, and every 3 to 5 meters along straight horizontal sections. Understanding cable tray spacing is key to meeting safety regulations and maintaining system performance. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical, depends on various factors like cable type, environment, and tray material. Although BS 7671 touches on the subject of cable supports, it does not detail specifically what these support distances should be.
