TC-ER-rated cables can be installed in exposed runs outside the cable tray, up to 6 feet between the cable tray and connected equipment, and without conduit—provided that the cable is secured and. Cable tray types, fill rules for single-conductor and multiconductor cables, ampacity derating, separation requirements, and when to use tray vs conduit.
