Contact UsHome / Do cables running through cable trays need conduits
TC-ER-rated cables can be installed in exposed runs outside the cable tray, up to 6 feet between the cable tray and connected equipment, and without conduit—provided that the cable is secured and protected from mechanical damage, per code. Conduit, on the other hand, is a rigid or flexible tube that provides additional mechanical protection and environmental. Cable trays are more preferable in large buildings or factories since they are not closed and can be readily repaired. But how do you decide which one is right for your project? In this post, we'll explore the key differences between cable trays vs conduits, highlight their pros and cons, and guide you toward the best choice based on your application. They provide a versatile and efficient solution for managing wires over long distances.
