SHOWGEAR Safety Cable Light Duty 50 cm

2/3 mm, with black PVC coating, Not Certified
Flying high with safety-cables:
Parcans, speakers, moving heads, mirrorballs, trussing, brackets, projectors, flatscreen monitors, all different products with one thing in common. As soon as they are being used, either static or as moving effect, in elevated positions or over people or crowd you are required to use an independent secondary safety-device according to BGV-C1 and VGB regulations to ensure the safety of the visitors of your venue. Safety-cables need to be used in all these cases to secure your gear and to make sure that, in case of emergency, the secured static equipment does not fall more than 20 cm or, with moving equipment, no more than 5 cm to prevent the impulse forces from becoming too high. Just as important as the safety-cable itself are the chainlinks, carabine-hooks or catbiners because the whole is as strong as its weakest component. That is why our safety-cables are also equipped with certified connectors to guarantee a safe use as long as the cable and the link are handled according to its specifications. Safety-cables can be used single or double stranded to carry and secure their specified load. Please check the specs with each cable to find the cable which matches perfectly to your needs.
One point of attention: safety-cables are meant to secure your gear and not to be used for hoisting equipment. You can use our well-equipped Lodestar-range for this purpose.

Safe assembly with safety cables:

mobile lighting, picture and sound equipment must be held securely in place by two independent devices. Typical mobile, suspended or fixed devices in event and production technology are floodlights, effect devices, loudspeakers, supporting structures and trusses, mounting brackets, mirror balls, monitors, projection equipment and more. In the cases described here, a safety element (second independent safety element) consists of a steel cable, a cable end connection and a connecting element. The dimensions of the elements are based on the dynamic forces that occur when the elements absorb a load. Safety cables consist of a steel wire rope according to DIN 3060 (round stranded cable, 6 x 19 standard, with fibre core), with a nominal cable strength of 1770 N/mm2. Fast links, chain links, screw hooks or fasteners can always be used as links in safety cables. A safety wire must be fastened to ensure that the drop height of the object to be fastened is as low as possible. The drop height must never exceed 20 cm! If an object falls into the safety element, the rope is exposed to impulse voltage. This impulse force is partially absorbed by stretching the cable. When attached to mobile lamp hangers, the safety cables must be fastened in such a way that the fall height does not exceed 5 cm so that the impulse forces acting on the lamp hanger do not become too great when a load falls. A safety element that is loaded or visibly damaged must not be used. The safety rope must not be used as a connecting rope for general lifting operations.
