Abstract

A cable tray system including cable trays formed of a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and transverse rungs extending between and connecting the first and second side rails. The first and second side rails each include a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding. The cable tray system further includes a splice plate for splicing or joining multiple cable trays. The splice plate includes a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding, wherein the inwardly protruding portion of the splice plate cooperates with the inwardly protruding portion of the first and second side rails. Holes in the first and second side rails can be aligned with holes in the splice plate through which fasteners may be inserted through to secure the splice plate to the side rails.
