The Next Dimension in Cabling Flexibility - CADDY® CAT-CM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SOLON, Ohio, September 27, 2002 - The new CADDY CABLECAT CAT-CM from ERICO®, is a high-performance cable support system that brings unprecedented installation flexibility. The system provides a convenient pathway for wires and cables in applications where cable tray is traditionally used. Specially designed U-Hooks and double J-Hooks have large-diameter, rounded support surfaces/edges to avoid over-bending and kinking of cables. The U-Hooks are available in a range of sizes for different cable capacity needs.
The CAT-CM Has Three Distinct Installation Options
o The Rod-Mounted Option allows for field assembly of the hooks onto All-Thread Rod. Benefits include customized intervals between hooks, easy level changes without special fittings and direct attachment to a ceiling or building structure with CADDY Fasteners.
o The Cantilever-Mounted Option consists of U-Hooks being mounted on brackets. This option allows for cable runs along walls or columns.
o The Strut-Mounted Option is accomplished by assembling the hooks to strut for a cost-effective alternative to center rail cable tray and wire basket systems. This option utilizes standard strut, has sheet-metal U-hooks (rungs) with specially designed quick-attach strut fasteners for virtually any half-slot strut, allows for customized support spacing and has fittings for horizontal and vertical change of direction.
The CAT-CM system is designed to work seamlessly with the entire line of CADDY CABLECAT components to provide pathways in premise wiring systems. Components include J-Hooks, vertical supports, pulleys and the CATTRAX continuous cable support system. For more information about the new CAT-CM, call ERICO at 1-800-252-2339.
