  • Made of cold-rolled steel for durability
  • Easy on-site installation without the need for special bending tools
  • Click for More Features

Our best-selling and most versatile labor-saving cable tray system is the 201 Series from Snake Tray. It can be mounted below access floors, wall mounted, ceiling mounted or suspended from a threaded rod. The 201 Series Snake Tray is available in six sizes (4 single tray and 2 double tray) and can hold up to 510 cables at 100% fill with up to 50 sq. in. of cable path. Better than a generic basket or ladder type tray, its patented top-mounted center spine allows you to easily bend the tray by hand to create both horizontal and vertical turns that help route cables over and around obstacles.

The 201 Series Snake Tray is available in four sizes, and features a single-pocket design that can accommodate up to 24 square inches of cable, which is equal to a 12" generic basket or ladder-type tray, or 250 cables with a .25" OD as per NEC Article 318-9(b). Standard length is 98”.

Mounting Rings, called Snake Eyes™ , are located along the Snake Tray's spine, allowing you to easily attachthreaded rods for suspended applications. Only one UL listed connector bolt (CM-CB-10)is required to join two trays together. A variety of mounting hardware options let you adapt Snake Tray to your specific needs: simple, easy-to-use wall brackets allow the 201 Series Snake Tray to be suspended off of vertical surfaces, and ST under-floor brackets attach the Snake Tray to access floor stanchion posts to create cable pathways in raised floordata center environments. Universities, Fortune 500 Companies and the US Government  already specify Snake Tray product to simplify and economize their cable tray installations... now you can, too!

        We implemented this in my classroom so the students could run cables without the need to constantly move the ceiling tiles. Compared to what we spent and the quoted cost of $5k to have one installed, this solution works great!

        Attempted to use under floor in a Datacenter
        If you are thinking about using in a Datacenter environment Please DON'T.

        If you do use this product.
        Have some Band-Aids handy for your cuts and scrapes.

          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.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          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.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
