Abstract
A junction for the joinder of convergent cable trays. The junction comprises a panel for interconnection of the trays, and at least one cable guide extending up from an upper face of the panel having a curved surface for guiding cable as it is pulled around from one tray to another. The curvature of the surface is such as to enable the bending of the cable as it is pulled around the curved surface while preserving the integrity of the cable. The junction includes several different features. In one feature, the cable guide is removably fastened on the panel.
