What is a cable ladder?

A cable ladder is an open cable support system made from two longitudinal
side rails connected by transverse rungs. The structure is designed
to support and route power cables, control cables, instrumentation cables and other electrical cables
while keeping the cable run open for ventilation, inspection and cable fixing.
In cable ladder design, the side rails run in the length direction, and the
rungs run across the width. This is why a cable ladder is stronger in the longitudinal
direction than a light wire mesh tray or shallow perforated tray.
