Key Specifications & Use:
✅ Width: 80mm
✅ Length: 80mm (pre-cut strips)
✅ Quantity: Pack of 25 strips
✅ Material: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium
Application Details:
✅ Vertical Cable Runs on Wooden Poles:
Cables running vertically on poles must be fixed at minimum intervals of 450mm without obstructing access to climbing steps.
✅ Why Aluminium Strips?
Standard cable cleats often get lifted by safety belts and ladder rub, leading to loose cables. Using a 16mm aluminium strip fixed properly ensures secure cable attachment.
✅ Fixing Method:
Secure the aluminium strip using 38mm galvanised bonding nails combined with galvanised steel flat washers (6.5mm centre hole) for strong, durable fixing.
✅ Cable Protection:
Cable protection is the responsibility of the contractor/installer (CP). It’s recommended to cover cables up to 2.3 metres minimum from the ground with suitable capping to prevent damage.
Features:
✅ Designed for reliable cable securing on wooden poles
✅ Resists corrosion and weathering for outdoor durability
✅ Lightweight and easy to handle and install
✅ Packaged in bulk for efficient site use
Ideal for telecom contractors and field engineers needing durable and compliant aluminium fixing strips for dropwire and pole cable installations.
