ELLIS Patents Cable Cleats
ELLIS Patents Cable Cleats
- ELLIS Patents Cable Cleats are designed to ensure the retention and support of cables and conductors, reducing the load that the cable may be exposed to under its own weight.
- A cable cleat is a device designed to secure electrical cables when installed at intervals along the length of the cables” – IEC 61914 Cable Cleats for Electrical Installations.
- Cable cleats should: Prevent excessive cable movement due to fault-current magnetic forces Be rated for specific cable size and available current.
