Aluminum
Cable Tray
Ladder
—
Extra wide aluminum rungs are welded to
extruded aluminum I-beam siderails. Every
second rung is reversed to allow for easy
top or bottom mounting of cable ties and
clamps. All edges and welds are rounded
and smooth to prevent cable damage.
Ventilated
—
A fabricated structure consisting of integral
or separate longitudinal rails and a bottom
having openings sufficient for the passage
of air and utilizing 75% or less of the plan
area of the surface to support cables. The
maximum open spacings between cable
support surfaces of transverse elements do
not exceed 102 mm (4 in) in the direction
parallel to the tray side rails (rung edge to
rung edge).
Solid Trough
—
A fabricated structure consisting of a
bottom without ventilation openings within
separate longitudinal side rails.
Rungs are not perforated, and not
alternated (up/down). However, Ty-Raps
can be inserted diagonally between rung
and bottom sheet for cable fastening.
NOTE:
Fast and easy snap-in splice plates are provided with each straight section.
T&B aluminum cable tray is composed of two distinct systems
H-Style and U-Style. These systems are interchangeable.

Technical Specifications
All calculations and data are based on 36" wide cable trays with rungs
spaced on 12" centers with tray supported as simple spans with
deflection measured at the midpoint. Continuous spans may reduce
deflection by as much as 50%.
Deflection factor
For lighter loads, deflection at any length can be calculated by multiplying
the load bythe deflection factor.
For Fittings consult pages 60 to 99.
