Ellis Solus Single Cable Clamps for Cleating Cables
Ellis Patents have boosted the strength of their cable clamps and cleats range with the launch of Solus single cable clamps. This range of non-metallic single cable clamps are suitable for cables from Ø25 to Ø75mm. Designed, developed and manufactured in-house by Ellis, Solus cable clamps are made from a high strength, glass-filled nylon and joins Trident – a trefoil clamp – as part of their expanding non-metallic product range.
Single Cable Clamps
Features
- Short circuit & mechanically tested in accordance with IEC61914
- Cleats manufactured from high grade heat stabilised polymer
- Suitable for indoor, outdoor and harsh environments
- Long design life
- Easily stacked cable clamps for multiple cables and circuits
- Large cable range (fewer clamps sized to stock)
Danny Macfarlane, Managing Director of Ellis Patents, said: “Non-metallic cable cleats have been very popular in mainland Europe for many years, and their use is now growing swiftly in the UK and many of the export markets we operate in around the world.”
“Their benefits are numerous but key is the fact that they have extremely long lifespans meaning the cleats can be used practically anywhere, including in extremely harsh environments.”
The reason for Solus’ extremely long lifespan is that the glass filled nylon material used is a high-grade engineering polymer. The new range of cable clamps is also fully stackable, meaning additions to cable runs can be made without having to disturb any cables already installed. Solus also features different mounting options that enhance its installation versatility; and because the product can accommodate a wide cable range, customers can stock small numbers of units to cover a wide range of cable sizes.
“Innovation is very much at the heart of everything we do, and Solus is the latest in a long line of new and improved cable management products to have come out the Ellis Patents Innovation Hub here in Rillington,” added Danny.
Key to Ellis’ ability to innovate is its ability to take products from initial ideas through to IEC61914:2015 compliant products; with its in-house Innovation Hub incorporating 3D printers, FEA analysis and a fully equipped testing laboratory.
