Cable tray bends upward
A vertical inside bend allows the tray to transition from a lower to a higher level, moving cables upward within a vertical plane. This type of bend is useful for installations that require cables to rise from ground level to a higher position, such as from a floor-mounted tray to a ceiling-mounted. The scope of this report covers the primary mechanical designs and bend configurations of cable tray systems used in industrial, commercial, and residential environments. The analysis includes structural types (ladder, perforated, wire mesh), specific bend fittings (horizontal and vertical risers). Every data center requires numerous cable tray bends and drops—sometimes thousands in just one installation. With Cablobend Systems, you have the freedom to flexibly create the bends and drops that you need. Cable Tray Fitting, 90° Junction Kit. Standard depth is 4" with optional depth of 6".
