Gripple will unveil a new cable hanger at the RE+ tradeshow.
The new above-ground cable management system leverages a twin catenary structure that forms a rigid, fence-like support, minimizing sway and reducing sag for high ground-clearance and cable security even in harsh weather conditions. The durable hanger components are engineered from UV-stabilized, glass-filled nylon 66, delivering high strength, heat and corrosion resistance, and electrical insulating properties for a service life exceeding 30 years. The system’s load rating allows for wider spans between hangers.
Gripple says the hangers can be installed onto the catenary in 5 seconds, with a snap-fix mechanism that prevents any lateral movement, streamlining the installation process and enhancing overall system security. Time-trials also show that up to 100 ft of 750-kcmil cable can be installed per minute, making it up to 50% faster than other catenary systems.
The system accommodates up to 24 runs of 1,000-kcmil cable, handling high-capacity requirements while avoiding potential derating through proper cable separation.
