About Cable Carriers

Cable carriers organize conduits such as cables, hoses, and chains through a series of flexible links. Cable carriers are available in various sizes, materials, and types for a variety of operating conditions. For example, some cable carriers are designed to withstand high levels of mechanical stress, weather resistance, and ambient conditions. Filling cable carriers to no more than 80% capacity ensures proper functionality and extends the life of conduits. To prevent cables, hoses, and chains from twisting, the height of any compartment that contains more than one conduit of the same diameter should not exceed 150% of the conduit’s diameter. Cable carriers can be stored stacked one on top of the other or rolled up, lying down or upright.
