Standard dimensions of various parts of cable tray tees

Page Content

Cable tray tees are designed to match the standard widths and depths of the main tray, typically ranging from 50mm to 900mm in width and 25mm to 150mm in depth.

Key Dimensions

Width: Tee fittings are manufactured to align with the main cable tray width, which is the inside usable measurement between side rails. Standard widths include 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, 450mm, 600mm, and up to 900mm for large industrial installations . The tee branch will match the main run width to ensure proper cable support and fill compliance. Depth (Side Rail Height): The vertical height of the tray, or side rail height, typically ranges from 25mm to 150mm depending on cable volume and ventilation requirements . Tee fittings maintain the same depth as the main tray to allow consistent cable stacking and heat dissipation. Length: Standard tee fittings are usually manufactured in lengths that match the modular sections of the main tray, commonly 3 meters (10 feet) for ease of transport and installation . The branch section of the tee may vary depending on the installation layout but generally follows the same modular increments. Material Thickness: Tee fittings follow the same material specifications as the main tray, with thicknesses designed to meet load requirements and corrosion resistance standards such as ASTM A653 for galvanized steel . Heavy-duty trays and tees may require 2.5mm or greater thickness with reinforced side rails.

Design Considerations

  • Cable Fill: Tee dimensions must accommodate the same cable fill ratios as the main tray, typically 40% for power cables and 50% for control or instrumentation cables .
  • Compatibility: Tee fittings must match the main tray type (ladder, perforated, channel, or wire mesh) to ensure structural integrity and proper cable support .
  • Future Expansion: It is recommended to allow 25–40% spare capacity in the tee branch for future cable additions . By following these standard width, depth, and material guidelines, cable tray tees can be properly integrated into any industrial, commercial, or data center installation while maintaining compliance with NEC, NEMA, and IEC standards.
