    Can expansion joints be added to vertical cable trays

    Installing expansion joints in the cable tray runs only at the structure expansion joint positions, does not normally provide a valid solution to adequately compensate for the cable tray's thermal contraction and expansion. A cable tray support should be located within 2 feet of each side of the expansion joint splice plates position. The cable trays must not be clamped to each support so firmly that the cable tray. Cable tray systems, essential for supporting electrical cables, are subject to thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations. As cables and trays expand or contract, they can cause stress on the structure, leading to potential damage or misalignment. We aim to ensure your project remains secure and does not breach the NEMA standards, causing it to suffer. The rungs provide a convenient anchor for tying down cables in vertical runs or where the positions of the cables must be maintained in horizontal runs.
