Snake Tray® Celebrates 30 Years of Innovation in Cable Management, Power Distribution, and Enclosures

Founded on a simple idea to improve installation efficiency in the datacom industry, Snake Tray introduced a flexible cable tray system designed to reduce time, labor, and material costs. The original tray bent “like a snake,” inspiring the company’s name and establishing its focus on practical, contractor-friendly innovation.

Over the past 30 years, Snake Tray has secured more than 35 patents across a broad range of cable management solutions. Each product is engineered to lower total construction costs by incorporating design features that require less hardware and significantly reduce installation time.

All Snake Tray products are manufactured in the United States, and the company continues to operate from its headquarters in Bay Shore, New York. Founder and President Roger Jette remains actively involved in product development.

“Designing and manufacturing solutions for our customers has always been at the core of our business,” said Jette. “We’ve been fortunate to work with leading companies and organizations across the U.S. and internationally. It’s been an incredible journey.”

Snake Tray has expanded its portfolio beyond its original cable tray system to provide a comprehensive range of cable management products for projects of all sizes and applications. The company has also broadened its offerings to include power distribution and enclosure solutions, delivering integrated systems that complement its cable management division.
Snake Tray products are installed worldwide and serve a diverse range of industries, including government agencies, commercial construction, solar energy, transit and tunnel infrastructure, universities, K–12 schools, data centers, and healthcare facilities.

According to Jette, the company’s success stems not only from innovation, but from its people. “Our team’s dedication to keeping the customer at the center of everything we do has been critical to our growth. While we may not be the largest company in the industry, we have consistently led through innovation and customer service. It has been a privilege to partner with so many outstanding organizations.”

Looking ahead, Snake Tray plans to continue investing in new product development to meet evolving industry demands and emerging technologies. The company also intends to expand its U.S. manufacturing capabilities to support the growing demand for American-made infrastructure solutions.

As Snake Tray enters its fourth decade, it remains committed to delivering efficient, cost-saving solutions that simplify installation and support the industries building tomorrow’s infrastructure.

Design Considerations When Cabling Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Cable conveyance is one of most overlooked yet mission-critical aspects of utility-scale energy plant design. Whether power is generated from fossil fuel or renewable sources, pumped directly to the grid or temporarily stored in a battery array, poor cable management can result in reduced energy harvest, safety hazards, spiraling maintenance costs, material waste, shortened asset lifespans and operational delays.

Bridge the Construction Skills Gap with Snake Tray

Older, highly experienced cable installers and licensed electricians are retiring from the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Electrical industry at a rapid pace. Combined with the boom in hyperscale data center construction and a lack of apprentice-class talent entering the labor pool, many electrical contracting firms have found themselves at the center of a perfect storm: Too much work and not enough skilled workers.
