Splice plate with spacing indicia for cable tray section spacing

A splice plate for splicing together longitudinal ends of respective first and second cable tray sections to form a cable tray run, the splice plate having opposite first and second longitudinal ends and a length extending therebetween, the splice plate comprising:

• a plate body having opposite inboard and outboard faces;
• a first fastener opening extending through the inboard and outboard faces of the plate body, wherein the first fastener opening is configured to receive a first fastener to fasten the splice plate to the first cable tray section;
• a second fastener opening extending through the inboard and outboard faces of the plate body, wherein the second opening is spaced apart from the first fastener opening along the length of the splice plate, wherein the second fastener opening is configured to receive a second fastener to fasten the splice plate to the second cable tray section;
• a window configured to allow at least one of the longitudinal ends of the respective first and second cable tray sections to be visible therethrough when the splice plate is fastened to the first and second cable tray sections;
• and
• spacing indicia on the outboard face of the plate body and being configured to indicate to a user longitudinal spacing between the longitudinal ends of the first and second cable tray sections when the splice plate is fastened to the first and second cable tray sections.
