Grip Will reveal a new cable hanger at the RE+ tradeshow. The new above -ground cable management system uses a double overhead line structure that forms a rigid, style support, minimizing waving and reducing sag for high soil dependence and cable protection, even in heavy weather conditions. The durable pendant components are designed from UV-stabilized, glass-filled nylon 66, which supplies high strength, heat and corrosion resistance and electric insulating properties for a lifetime of more than 30 years. The load on the system ensures wider spans between hangers. Griple says that the hangers can be installed on the upper behavior…
