- The product is a metal article installed within commercial buildings. Its sole function is to provide mechanical support for cables, cable trays, cable baskets, cable trunking, and cable ladder systems used in power distribution and communications wiring. The product is in various sizes, which are due to the differing number of cables required from one job to another. However, all products are made in the same way, using the same materials, and have the exact same application/function. For transportation to customers, the product is packaged using steel strapping and plastic shrink‑wrap.
