Comments about SNAKE TRAY 201 SERIES 3" X 5":

Compared to any real cable tray, this is like using D rings in terms of support. Plus it is so easily bent that any quantity of cable will cause it to sag unless a ridiculous number of supports are used which wildly inflates the cost.

Comments about SNAKE TRAY 201 SERIES 3" X 5":

The snake tray is a very handy way to manage cables. it can easily be cut to length and bent to fit just about any cable route you can come up with. the "channel" design is very easy to get cables in and out of and they won't fall out. I made a custom bracket for mine and use it in place of an overhead ladder system in a small server room. I can follow cables from below easily if I need to and I don't have to worry about the cables falling off the side due to the deep channel.

601 Series Ladder Snake From $107.75 The new 601 Series of cable trays called Ladder Snake™ is especially designed for ladder racks. Ladder Snake ™ instantly bends by hand without any cutting or clipping to ensure a smooth transition from one ladder rack to another. You just snap Ladder Snake ™601 onto a new ladder to instantly gain greater cable capacity. You can also snap Ladder Snake (TN) 601 HP (half the depth of CM-601-12-8) onto an existing ladder rack to bridge over the existing cable plant to create a new second tier cable path.	501 Series Wall Snake Tray From $41.50 The 501 Series Wall Snake Tray is utilized for long linear installations where space is at a premium. Installers know the difficulty of using cable trays in tight spaces but the wall snake tray is the best solution because they are designed to allow the tray to be directly attached to a wall without the use of brackets . The tray uses integrated mounting rings located along the center spine of the tray. With these rings, no additional brackets or mounting hardware is required.

Cable Tray Systems The wireway's innovative cable tray design is based on pre-fabricated steel junctions/intersections and the ability to provide powder coated finishes while maintaining ground. The wireway cable tray design eliminates the need to bond sections or install a separate ground wire. Our Electrical Cable trays meet & exceed UL requirements for cable trays as equipment grounding conductive.
