Installation distance of horizontal cable tray supports
Support spacing for cable trays must align with the manufacturer's instructions, as outlined in NEC 392. Generally, standard trays require supports every 6 to 10 feet, while heavy-duty, long-span trays can handle distances of up to 20 feet between supports. The NEC has a requirement for ladder-type cable trays. Unlike a simple wire trough, which is typically a covered channel for shorter runs, cable trays provide a comprehensive support system for complex wiring paths over long. For 6 meter tray that would be approximately 1. 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. Although BS 7671 touches on the subject of cable supports, it does not detail specifically what these support distances should be. Use this tool to estimate sloped section length, horizontal run requirement, cut marks, and installation feasibility.
