  • What is that round hole on the side of the cable tray

    What is that round hole on the side of the cable tray

    A cable grommet typically is a round edged ring inserted into a panel hole to protect pass through cables from chafing and abrasion as well as from environmental impacts or simply assuring a firm grip of the wire or cable. The B-Line series Cable Tray Manual was produced by our technical staff. The following pages address the 2014 National Electrical Code® requirements for cable tray systems as well as design. For example, if cables have to be routed through small round holes, snap in cable grommets help prevent abrasion. In the case of larger, or unshaped cut-outs with sharp edges or straight edges, the use of so-called grommet strips is a good choice. Another form of cable grommets are those that are. Connects two cable tray sections of different widths together for a smooth transition. Changes the direction of the cable run horizontally (e.
