What is a Cable Tray, and what are the main Cable Tray Cover types?

Cable trays are units or systems that support insulated electrical cables. This cable support system is different from the conduit and open wiring systems and is ideal for engineers who may need to change the system.  Cable tray units feature different sections and fittings that create a rigid structural system, helping to fasten wires, cables, or raceways. If you want to know how many types of cable tray there are, the main types you can choose from are:

• Ladder cable trays
• Solid bottom cable trays
• Wire mesh cable trays
• Perforated cable trays

Find out more about these four cable trays in the following sections.

Ladder cable trays

Composed of two rails joined by several rungs, Ladder cable trays are efficient support systems because engineers can access the cables with minimal effort. Whether you need to make changes to cables at the top of the ladder cable tray or the bottom, the rungs make it easier to alter them. A ladder cable tray’s many rungs also provide anchorage for fastening cables. Keep reading to find out how many types of cable tray there are.

Solid bottom cable trays

Solid bottom cable trays are one of the best options for fiber-optic cable installation. With solid bottoms, they’re not ventilated but are ideal for situations where you need to avoid cable droop.  One key reason you may select a solid bottom cable tray is that they prevent any electromagnetic interference that can affect the performance of your wires or cables.

Wire mesh cable trays

The other name for a wire mesh cable tray is “basket cable tray.” Manufacturers make them with wires made of stainless steel and weld each wire together to create a basket. Engineers select wire mesh cable trays when they need to support low voltage cables, such as telecommunication cables.

Perforated cable trays

With a ventilated base and rails on each side, perforated cable trays support cables more robustly than ladder cable trays.
