In every modern building, industrial plant, or infrastructure project, one critical component ensures the safe and organized routing of electrical cables — the cable tray. From high-rise office complexes to power plants, cable trays provide the backbone of electrical distribution systems. At Ned-Tech Cable Tray Ltd, we specialize in manufacturing durable, reliable, and cost-effective cable trays designed for Africa’s toughest environments.
A cable tray is a support system used to securely hold and route electrical, telecommunication, and data cables. It prevents cable clutter, reduces overheating, and makes future maintenance easier. Unlike conduits, which enclose cables, cable trays provide open and flexible pathways, making them a preferred solution for engineers and contractors.
