Abstract
A device for fixing a mesh cable tray to a profiled support section having a plurality of apertures formed in a surface for supporting the tray includes an element having a substantially semi-cylindrical engagement portion which can enclose a portion of a wire of the tray and can restrain it against the support surface. A tail plate is provided which can cooperate with the section on the side opposite to the support surface. The tail plate is connected to the support section by a screw connector.
