50% Fill is Full!

• NEC 50% FILL is FULL!
• Lets Do the Match
• EXAMPLE:
• 2x6 (54-150) Cablofil = 12 sq in of area
• Per NEC 50% rule 12/2 = 6 sq in space for cables.
• Cat 5e cable = .21 in (DIA) = 3.14(.21)2/4 = .04 sq in
• 6 sq in / .04 sq in = 150 cables
•  
• So what does 150 cat 5e cables look like in a 2x6 (54-150) wire mesh tray?
