Spacing of fixed 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. When developing our cable support OBO can offer reliable solutions for systems, three attributes are at the routing and fastening cables securely core of what we do: efficiency, resil- for each of these installation challeng-ience and safety. es in the industrial environment. 8 (Other Mechanical Stresses (AJ)) in that document provides requirements for cable support. Clause 522-08-04 Where conductors or cables are not supported. This publication is intended as a practical guide for the proper and safe* installation of cable ladder systems, cable tray systems, channel support systems and associated supports. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical, depends on various factors like cable type, environment, and tray material.
