I agree with Alexander, one thing is cable tray (the tray itself), and other is ITC cable (Instrumentation Tray Cable) which is a specific type of cable designed to be installed with the help of a cable tray. This cable does not required to be installed inside a conduit as, it can be exposed (outdoors, not confined inside a conduit). It could be confusing, but it makes sense for professionals on that field.

Instrumentation Tray Cable Thanks for your observations, in light of which I decided to check, and Instrumentation Tray Cable is exactly what the source says and it says it several times. This is for UL certification.
The tray is an instrumetation tray, and it has a cable. One thing is when you have trays which support cables (cable trays), but here is about the cable for the instrumetation tray, i.e. the "instrumentation tray cable". Maybe is better to say "cable de la bandeja de instrumentación".
Al Zaid Oct 21, 2013:
I think the asker should consult the source (if possible) to see if there's a syntax mistake in the phrase.
INSTRUMENTATION CABLE TRAY makes perfect sense, while INSTRUMENTATION TRAY CABLE sounds a little bit odd. I've heard about cable trays, but not about "tray cables".

Cable para bandeja de instrumentación

Although it may seem at first, that the order of the words is not correct ("tray cable", rather than the more common "cable tray"), it is , as this refers to a specific type of cable, the ITC cable (Instrumentation Tray Cable). The advantage of this cable is that it does not require to be installed inside a conduit, but can be exposed and installed on a cable tray (canaleta o bandeja).
Example sentence:

“Queremos que los clientes de cables estén al tanto del cambio en el Código Eléctrico Nacional [NEC] del año 2002 que permite tendidos expuestos de ciertos cables para bandeja de instrumentación [ITC]
