Cable trays, or carrier trays, are mechanical support systems for cables. They provide a robust structural that accommodates and safely transports cables from one point to another. The Cable Tray Institute (CTI) was founded in 1991 to support the cable tray industry by engaging in research, development, education, and the dissemination of information designed to promote, enhance, and increase the visibility of the industry. Cable tray, introduced in the mid 1940s, is a safe. 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. The selection of material and finish is a function of the environment in wh tant in a wide range of environments, and easily formable (Appendices II and III). Once the functions are clear, we will explore the fundamental principles that should guide every cable tray selection decision.
