NEC Questions and Answers based on 2017 NEC ®
Cable trays must be installed as a complete system, except mechanically discontinuous segments between cable tray runs, or between cable tray runs and equipment are permitted.
NEC Standards for Cable Trays: Grounding, Fill Capacity
Power cables play a crucial role in the functioning of various electrical systems, and their routing is commonly achieved through the use of cable trays.
Stumped by the Code? NEC Rule Regarding Cable Tray Systems
A. Cable trays must be installed as a complete system, except mechanically discontinuous segments between cable tray runs, or between cable tray runs and equipment as
Technical Guidelines for Cable Tray Installation and Fireproofing
Segregation of Power and Signal Cables: Power (high-voltage) and signal (low-voltage) cables should be routed separately, using dedicated trays to minimize electromagnetic interference.
Installation Of Cable In Cable Trays: NEC, Safety
Cable tray layout must take into consideration the design limits of the cable. To minimize damage and verify integrity after installation, follow the practices outlined in cable handling and testing procedures
NEC Article 392 Guide: Ensuring Compliance for Cable Tray Systems
The short answer is no. Due to their exposure to the open air because of the cable trays, the wires contained within need a very durable outer covering. The regulations dictate that the cables

Installation of Emergency and Non-Emergency TC-ER Cables in
There is no NEC requirement that prohibits two distinct wiring methods — one for emergency and one for non-emergency — from being mechanically supported by the same cable
Explaining NEC Article 392 on Cable Trays
Cables and conductors must be secured to the cable tray at intervals according to installation instructions. For non-horizontal runs, cables should be fastened securely to transverse
Cable Tray Systems: Requirements and Best Practices
Allow sufficient space for cable installation, side-by-side routing, and future additions; avoid filling trays to the point where heat dissipation is compromised.
