Phoenix Cable Cleat
“In order for FP rated cables to continue working in an emergency they need to remain intact and in place,” said Ellis’ UK Sales Director.
“If these cables aren’t properly restrained then the risks are clear – the loss of vital services and the likelihood of live cables falling and causing potentially lethal hazards.”
Working in conjunction with Exova Warringtonfire, BRE and ETS, Ellis Patents initially developed its Phoenix Cable Cleat range in 2011. Prior to launch the products underwent a wide range of tests, including exposure to fire, impact and water spray, all of which combined to ensure that the range offers fire protection to the same level as the cables it is installed to protect.

Helwin Beta 690MW grid link
The requirement was to feed seven 117mm diameter cables along a specified route within a fabricated structure, which featured a significant number of twists and turns. The problem was that there was no existing product that would enable the cables to be installed in an efficient, safe and cost-effective manner.
Bespoke Cable Guide Clamp
The Ellis Patents team, which had previously developed a roller-system for installation of HV cables in power tunnels, took stock of the situation and set to work developing a solution that would secure the Siemens specification, and see them become the first company in the world to offer a two-in-one cable guide and clamp.
Within six weeks of the initial meeting, Siemens had approved our new product design, two weeks later five working prototypes successfully passed an installation trial in Germany and less than a month after that Ellis received the order and had the tooling ready for mass production.
