I would like to know the proper definition of a 'cable rack'. I have decided to use 1.5" thick fiberglass grating (made from UL listed resin) in several electrical manholes as cable racks. I follow all other aspects of Article 314, Section IV. I am unclear if the 'intended purpose' of the grating is a factor. Since cable tray is defined as a support system, wouldn't this fiberglass grating fall into the same category? Is the fiberglass grating acceptable by the NEC as a cable rack?
