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. This spacing is crucial for adequate maintenance access, ease of inspection, and ensuring proper airflow for effective heat dissipation. 8 (Other Mechanical Stresses (AJ)) in that document provides requirements for cable support.

Wire mesh cable trays are ideal because: Enhanced Airflow – Prevents overheating of sensitive equipment. Depending on the type and version of mesh cable tray, as well as the corrosion protection used, the mesh cable tray systems can be mbient temperatures of - 20 °C to + 120 °C. Manage cables with an open overhead system that's designed to handle heavy loads, easy to install on the jobsite and a more flexible option than traditional conduit systems. Tested at every stage of the process, Wire Mesh Cable Tray has performed in a wide variety of applications, from heavy power. Wire mesh cable trays otherwise known as wire mesh cable basket systems are an innovative cable management system that features an open grid-like structure composed of smooth interconnected wires.
