indicated of nominal width with maximum rung spacing of 150 mm.
 Provide solid bottom trays consisting of two longitudinal side members
 connected by a one-piece bottom section. Sizes as indicated of nominal
 width. Provide solid covers.
 Cable tray shall be galvanized steel, solid bottom /solid corrugated
 bottom with a cover. Various sizes shall be used and installed above the
 false
 ceiling and under the raised floors. Cable tray shall be used to route
 the system cables from the Telecommunication Rooms to the conduits
 feeding the outlets. The cable tray shall be UL classified or other
 recognized organization as a grounding conductor and sized to have an
 initial fill volume of no more than 20 percent. Multiple cables trays
 shall be used to properly distribute the systems UTP, and RG6 coax cable.
 Cable tray shall be utilized for 85-90 percent of the feeder length with
 the last 10-15 percent being conduit.
2.2     FABRICATION
 Submit fabrication drawings for cable trays. Ensure the drawings contain
 details showing the fabrication and assembly details performed in the
 factory.
 Before assembly, use an antioxidant compound to coat the contact surfaces
 of trays. Ensure that the finishes of edges, fittings, and hardware are
 free from burrs and sharp edges. Include splice and end plates, dropouts,
 and miscellaneous hardware.
2.3     COMPONENTS
2.3.1     Supports
 Permit both vertical and horizontal adjustment, where possible on supports
 and hangers. Provide an adequate bearing surface for the tray on the
 horizontal and vertical tray supports, and ensure that the surface can
 accommodate holddown clamps or fasteners. Provide a means, other than
 friction, for securely fastening cable trays to supports.
 Provide support for cable trays at intervals of no more than 1828 mm ().
 Place supports for horizontal-elbow tray fittings within 609 mm () of each
 fitting extremity and as recommended by the cable tray manufacturer.
 Ensure that the cable trays can carry at least 667 N () when supported at
 1828 mm () intervals. Ensure that the tray fittings have a load-carrying
 capacity that is equal to or greater than that of straight tray sections.
 Ensure that the radius of tray fittings is based on the minimum bending
 radius of the cables, as specified by the cable manufacturer.
2.4     MATERIALS
 Provide cable trays constructed of high-strength corrosion-resistant
 aluminum Alloy No. 5052-H32 steel in accordance with ASTM A1008/A1008M and
 that has a zinc coating which was applied after fabrication.
PART 3     EXECUTION
 Comply with NEMA VE 2 for cable tray installation.
