Spacing of cable tray reinforcement supports

Home / Spacing of cable tray reinforcement supports

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 the cables and other loads. 8 (Other Mechanical Stresses (AJ)) in that document provides requirements for cable support. In this blog, we'll focus on support spacing for perforated, ladder and wire mesh cable trays and reference the National Electrical Code (NEC). These systems, made from metal or plastic, are open structures designed to support electrical conductors, ensuring proper organization and safety.
