Cable tray is a common electrical installation material, mainly used to support, protect and organize cables so that they can be conveniently and orderly arranged in various areas of a building or industrial facility. The following will introduce several major uses of cable trays.

First, cable bridges are used for cable support. In a building or factory, cables need to be routed across different areas, such as corridors, walls, ceilings, and so on. Cable bridges are designed to suspend cables in appropriate locations and ensure that cables are evenly supported both vertically and horizontally, thus reducing the load on the cables themselves and preventing them from breaking or being damaged by their own weight.

Secondly, cable bridges can protect cables. Cables usually need to be used for a long period of time, and if exposed to the external environment, they may be damaged by mechanical, chemical, temperature and other aspects. Cable bridges can provide a protective layer to keep cables away from substances or conditions that may cause damage, such as standing water, chemical sprays, high temperatures, etc., to ensure the proper operation and longevity of cables.

In addition, cable bridges help organize cables. In a large building or industrial facility, there will be numerous cables arranged in one area, such as power cables, communication cables, data cables, and so on. The structure of cable tray can separate and fix these cables in an orderly manner, avoiding confusion, entanglement and mutual interference, and facilitating maintenance and overhaul work by maintenance and management personnel.
