When installing two cable trays in parallel at the same height, the distance between them should be no less than 0. This spacing is crucial for adequate maintenance access, ease of inspection, and ensuring proper airflow for effective heat dissipation. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical, depends on various factors like cable type, environment, and tray material. Proper installation can significantly reduce electromagnetic interference, prevent fire hazards, and improve overall efficiency.
