Abstract
A cable tray assembly includes first and second cable tray sections. Each cable tray section included a rail including a vertical web, an upper flange, and a lower flange. Each upper flange includes an outboard portion having a downwardly extending tab forming a groove extending along the upper flange. A splice plate assembly connects the first and second cable tray sections. The splice plate assembly includes a first splice plate configured to be retained in the groove extending along the upper flange of the first cable tray section. A second splice plate is configured to be retained in the groove extending along the upper flange of the second cable tray section. The first and second splice plates each define a fastener opening. The fastener openings are alignable with one another and configured to receive a fastener to connect the first and second cable tray sections when the splice plates are attached to the respective cable tray sections.
