What is the difference between cables and cable support systems?

Cables are used to transmit power, signals, data, or control signals. Cable support systems are used to route, protect, support, and organize cables during installation.

Power cables, control cables, solar cables, and fiber optic cables are electrical or communication products, while cable trays, cable ladders, cable trunking, wire mesh trays, strut channels, and EMT are used to support or protect cable installation systems.
