. The whole tray should provide firm
support for the cables and therefore the tray fixings must capable of
supporting the weight both the tray and cables. This type installation
has the advantage flexibility, allowing modifications made speedily
as the need arises.
When trunking contains rigidly fixed metal barriers along its length, the
same trunking may used enclose cables the separate Bands without
further precautions, provided that each band separated barrier, as
shown Fig.
