Alternative small group of cables can be taken through 100 mm slotted channel / ISMC 100 / angle support. They shall be rightly supported on structural steel and massonary individual or in groups as required, if drilling of Steel must be resorted to, approval must be secured and steel must be drilled where the minimum weakening of the structure will result. Cables shall be supported so as to prevent unsightly sagging.

3.13. If required, Cable laid on supporting angle in cable trenches, structures, columns and vertical run of cable trays shall be suitably clamped by means of G.I. Saddle / clamps, whereas cable in horizontal run of cable trays shall be tied by mean of nylon cords.

3.14 The identification marker shall be placed on each cable at every 2 Mtrs intervals and at every cable joint locations, of adequate size fabricated from 3 mm thick, 25 mm wide aluminum strip.
