A flexible cable tray adapted to connect to cable tray sections. The flexible cable tray includes a base and flexible side walls, all of which are bendable to be adapted to support and guide cables to and from their intended locations through intersections, over beams and/or under beams, and may also be used as a vertical offset. The side walls may be laid flat to the base to enable easy shipment or bent inwardly to provide further support for the cables.

A cable tray system including two or more cable tray sections comprising a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and a floor extending between. The tray system also includes one or more flex-wires for joining the cable tray sections, where the flex-wires can be U- or loop-shaped. Upon exerting tension on the flex-wires, the first and second cable tray sections can move away from one another from a first position to a second position. In addition, the tray system includes a fastening device that removably locks the tray system into the second position.

A cable support apparatus includes first and second horizontal supports spaced-apart and substantially parallel to one another, a plurality of vertical supports spaced-apart horizontally along the first and second horizontal supports, and at least one junction box assembly configured to hang from the first horizontal support. Each horizontal support is formed from wire stock. Each vertical support is formed from wire stock and secured to each of the first and second horizontal supports. At least two of the vertical supports include cable-receiving segments that cooperate to define at least one cable-receiving channel extending horizontally. The at least one junction box assembly includes an input and an output for receiving cable ends of cables disposed within one of the at least one cable-receiving channels to enable joining of the cable ends within the junction box assembly.

Disclosed is a length of cable run made of metal wire mesh having a nominal end and a fish-plated end equipped with a fish plate made of metal wires which is configured to allow the fish-plated end to be assembled by clip-fastening with the nominal end of a similar length of cable run; lateral parts of the fish plate each including a flexible arm, a head provided with a ramp and with a clip and connected to the flexible arm by one of its ends, and a spacer secured to the end cross wire of the fish-plated end and situated between this end cross wire and the end cross wire of the nominal end of the similar length when the fish-plated end of the length and the nominal end of the similar length are assembled.

A splice clip for coupling discrete sections of a wire mesh cable tray. The splice clip can include a bolt with a base, a first ledge, and a second ledge opposing the first ledge. The base and the first and second ledges can define a passageway along the bolt. The splice clip can also include a retainer with a set of pockets, including a first pocket and a second pocket, and a set of guidance features configured to translate within the passageway to guide the bolt along and in engagement with the retainer. The first pocket can be configured to receive a first wire of a first discrete cable tray section and the second pocket can be configured to receive a second wire of a second discrete cable tray section. The bolt can be movable along the retainer between an open position and a closed position.

A bracket secured to adjacent cable baskets to form a cable routing pathway. The bracket includes a splice and a locking latch slidingly secured to the splice. The splice has a base with a top, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The first end member extends from the first end of the base and a second end member extends from the second end of the base. The first end member and the second end member each include a vertical slot. The locking latch extends through the vertical slot of the first end member and the vertical slot of the second end member to secure the splice to the adjacent cable baskets.

A slider bracket assembly is provided having one or more slider brackets, one or more strap-slider brackets, a main cable tray, and a tray section, wherein the one or more slider brackets couple the one or more strap-slider brackets to both the main cable tray and the tray section. Methods for installing a slider bracket assembly comprise coupling slider brackets to a first strap-slider bracket and a second strap-slider bracket, coupling the first and second strap-slider brackets to a tray section to form a tray section assembly, and then coupling the tray assembly to a main cable tray using the first and second strap-slider brackets.

A cable-tray intersection system that connects a first wire basket and an intersecting second wire basket. Each wire basket is formed of a plurality of wires extending horizontally to form a floor and a plurality of wires extending vertically forming side walls. The intersection system includes a top plate mounted on the floors of the wires baskets and a pair of corner braces. The top plate has a first edge, a second edge, and a pair of corner edges formed between the first edge and second edge. The pair of corner braces mount between the first wire basket and the second wire basket and are spaced apart from the top plate.

The present disclosure provides a splice plate including a planar body, first and second pairs of opposing side walls, and a pair of tabs. The first pair of opposing side walls define two parallel slots with one slot engaging a first wire of a first cable tray section and a second slot engaging a first wire of a second cable tray section. The second pair of opposing side walls define at least one slot. A side wall of one of the second pair of opposing side walls engages a second wire of the first cable tray. A side wall of the other of the second pair of opposing side walls engages a second wire of the second cable tray section. One tab of the pair of tabs engages the first wire of the first cable tray section and a second tab engages the second cable tray section’s first wire.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to cable trays for carrying cables. In one such embodiment, a cable tray made of wire material is disclosed with a number of lateral U-bent wires and longitudinal wires fastened thereto. The U-bent wires form a bottom and a first and a second side wall for the cable tray, where the bottom is narrower than the side walls are high, as such the cables may be placed stacked one above another in the cable tray. The first side wall is made with a wavy shape with wave troughs placed close to or in contact with the second side wall and wave crests between the wave troughs. The wave-shaped first side wall forms, together with the second side wall, spaces for receiving cables.
