A cable tray connecting plate with double rows of holes is a splice or coupler plate used to securely join two cable tray sections end-to-end, providing strong mechanical support and alignment.Overview

Cable tray connecting plates, often called splice plates or coupler plates, are flat metal plates with pre-drilled holes arranged in single or double rows. The double-row design allows for multiple bolts to pass through, increasing the strength and stability of the connection, especially for heavy cable loads or long tray runs . These plates are typically used in straight runs of cable trays to maintain alignment and prevent sagging.

Material and Corrosion Resistance

Connecting plates are commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, with options for zinc plating or other corrosion-resistant coatings to enhance durability in industrial environments . Nonmetallic versions are also available for specific applications where electrical insulation or chemical resistance is required .

Installation
  1. Alignment: Place the connecting plate at the ends of the two tray sections to be joined.
  2. Fastening: Insert nuts and bolts through the double rows of holes in the plate and the tray sides. Proper torque is essential to prevent loosening due to vibration .
  3. Hardware: Standard hardware typically includes bolts, nuts, and washers, often supplied with the tray section or plate. For nonstandard or special applications, custom hardware may be required .
  4. Maintenance: Connections can be undone for modifications or maintenance, making them suitable for systems that may require future adjustments .
Advantages
  • High Load Capacity: Double rows of holes allow multiple bolts, distributing stress and supporting heavier cable bundles.
  • System Stability: Prevents sagging and misalignment in long cable tray runs.
  • Durability: Strong mechanical connection ensures long-term performance.
  • Flexibility: Compatible with most standard cable tray types and sizes, including metallic and nonmetallic systems .
Applications
  • Industrial and commercial electrical installations
  • Long straight runs of cable trays
  • Areas requiring high mechanical stability or heavy cable loads
  • Systems where future maintenance or modifications are anticipated Using a double-row connecting plate ensures a secure, durable, and professional cable tray installation, reducing the risk of system failure, sagging, or grounding issues .
