Cable trays are widely used in industrial manufacturing plants to route power, control, data and communication cables from equipment back to power and control panels. Tray rated cables are required to meet certain standards for construction as well as different tests before they are allowed to be placed in a cable tray. Otherwise if they do not meet these requirements, rigid conduit would need to be used to route the cables.
