Abstract
A cable tray assembly includes a first shell that defines a hollow interior and a second shell that defines a hollow interior, wherein one of the shells is partially inserted into the other shell so that the two hollow interiors are in communication. The shells each include a face that is opposite the face on the other shell and the faces support a plurality of connectors. An adjustment system helps control the distance between the two faces so that the cable tray can connect two row of connectors that are a distance apart where the distance is variable.
