Standard Requirements for Laying Optical Cables on Cable Trays

Home / Standard Requirements for Laying Optical Cables on Cable Trays

While there are several specific types of listings for power cables, specifically for tray applications, there is no equivalent tray rating for optical fiber cables. The purpose of this AE Note is to outline the use of fiber optic cables in "tray rated" environments.
