ABSTRACT:
A cable support assembly for routing electrical, communication, or data cables throughout a building. The cable support assembly includes cable trays and brackets for securing the cable trays to an overhead structure. Tray couplers are provided for coupling tray sections together. The brackets include a base portion and an integral downward-depending band. The brackets are first secured to the overhead structure to establish a desired path for the cables. A cable tray is then slid end-wise through the secured brackets and is cradled by the downward-depending bands. Adjacent cable trays are joined with couplers to create a cable support assembly in which the cable tray provides support for any electrical, communication, or data cables installed therein. The base portion of the brackets includes a cuttable portion that can be cut to split the base portion and thereby enable the brackets to be used for supporting cables in a retrofit situation.
