Abstract
A support system for data transmission lines and the like, comprising a plurality of first rail sections and a series of supports extending down from one or more of the first rail sections. Each support comprises a generally vertical column and a series of arms extending laterally outwardly from the column. The arms of each support cooperate with the arms of the other supports for supporting a series of horizontal runs of data transmission lines and the like. The system also includes a plurality of second rail sections, a series of rungs projecting laterally from one or more of the second rail sections for supporting runs of data transmission lines and the like, and splices for connecting the first and/or second rail sections end to end. The splices and the first and second rail sections are so dimensioned and configured that splices of identical construction can be used interchangeably with said first and second rail sections.
