When cable trays pass through walls or floors, seal openings using fire-rated penetration sealing materials. Do not modify or damage the tray coating or structure during use. All illustrations, descriptions and technical information included in this document are provided as indications and can cable trays are equivalent.

The effective weatherproofing of cable trays helps to keep weather out, preventing damage to the building envelope, avoiding thermal breaks, maintaining the indoor environment and helping to keep the various cables and wires protected. Fire. maintain spacing or to keep cables in place when the tray is ect the minimum bend ra-dius for cables as they exit the bottom of the cable tray.
