Gripple will launch a new cable hanger at the RE+trade show.

The new above ground cable management system adopts a double catenary structure, forming a sturdy fence like support, minimizing sway and sagging, and achieving high ground clearance and cable safety even in harsh weather conditions. The durable hanger components are made of UV stabilized glass filled nylon 66, which has high strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation properties, with a service life of over 30 years. The rated load of the system allows for a larger span between hangers.

Gripple stated that the hanger can be installed onto the contact wire within 5 seconds, and its snap on fixing device prevents any lateral movement, simplifying the installation process and enhancing overall system safety. The timing test also showed that 750 kcmil cables can be installed up to 100 feet (about 30 meters) per minute, which is 50% faster than other contact network systems.

The system can accommodate up to 24 1000 kcmil cables, meeting high-capacity requirements while avoiding potential derating through appropriate cable separation.
