Which component has a ventilated bottom with side rails?

In a telecom room, managing heat and keeping cables neatly contained are key considerations. A component that is designed with a ventilated bottom and side rails is the ventilated trough cable tray. The perforated or open bottom allows air to circulate around the cables, helping to dissipate heat from dense cable runs. The side rails on the edges provide physical containment and support, guiding and securing the cables as they run through the tray. Other options don’t fit this description because they serve different purposes: a ceiling raceway system is used for routing cables in ceilings and isn’t defined by a ventilated bottom with rails; ITS conduit design uses enclosed conduits without ventilated bottoms; and preconnectorized jumpers and cables are individual cables/connectors rather than a tray system with ventilation and rails.
