IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Assimilation (Time Frame: 30 minutes )
The different types of cable tray, types of cable tray fittings and the basic type of cable tray are needed for a thorough
knowledge and identification to achieve the accuracy, adaptability and the durability in the installation of cable tray/ cable
bridge.
Direction. Read carefully the statement. Write T If the statement is TRUE. Write F if the statement is FALSE. Write your answer on
the space provided before the number.
______1. Cable trays can typically adapt to complex configurations with a simple set of tools. The cost of material
procurement for cable tray systems is not necessarily lower than that of conduit systems in all cases.
______2. Cable tray advantages include wiring system design flexibility, simplicity, and Higher installation cost.
_____3. L Junction is a cable tray fitting which is commonly used when the junction is made at the corner or to make right
angle turn.
_____4. Reducer is a type of fitting which is used to adopt cable tray when it changes in color.
______5. A bridge is a structure that provides safe passage for traffic across open spans.
