Cables are heavy, steel containment is heavy, even the fixing brackets are heavy! How do you know that your installed wiring system won't collapse and fall off the wall or ceiling?
There's lots of information out there about not overfilling cable tray, trunking and conduit, but this is from an overcrowding point of view, not from a weight point of view.
So with help from the good people at @MarshallTufflex we've dived into the data and calculations to demonstrate how you can be sure that your wiring system will stay safely where it belongs.
