Abstract: A cable tray assembly includes first and second cable tray sections each including a base and rails extending transversely from longitudinal sides of the base. At least one of the base and the rails defines a plurality of holes. A splice plate is configured to engage the first and second cable tray sections for attaching the first cable tray section to the second cable tray section. The splice plate defines a plurality of holes. At least one snap-fit connector includes a head and a plurality of resiliently deflectable arms extending from the head. The arms of the connector are configured to extend through aligned holes in the splice plate and one of the cable tray sections to secure the splice plate to said one of the cable tray sections.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cable tray assembly comprising a cable tray splice, first cable tray section, and second cable tray section adjacent the first cable tray section with both sections having a bottom wall. The cable tray splice couples to the bottom walls. The cable tray splice may include at least two fasteners and a splice body configured to engage adjacent cable tray sections. The fasteners are configured to couple the splice body to the adjacent cable tray sections and include a spring producing a biasing force against the splice body. The disclosure provides a method to form a cable tray assembly including positioning the two cable tray sections end-to-end, positioning a splice body on bottom walls of the two cable tray sections, inserting a fastener through aligned openings in the splice body and the bottom walls, and applying a spring biasing force to the splice body.
