5 things to consider before installing a cable ramp

Cable ramps are the cord organizers and assemble wires to organize the space. When the wires are messed up, their temperature increases, leading to the tripping hazard.

Therefore, arranging the wires of all electrical devices and covering the cable ramps is highly beneficial. This organization saves from fire hazards and gives the area a neat and well-organized look.

A plus point of the cable ramps is their installation does not require a workforce, and you can do it with basic knowledge of cable ramp installation. So, don’t forget to learn the 5 necessary things before installing cable ramps.

Things to consider before installing a cable ramp

Cable ramp installation is easy, and you can do it yourself with little care. Just be sure about the cords and wires you want to install and determine whether you want to hide or conceal wires indoors or outdoors.

You must know these essential things before stepping out for installation:

  1. Make sure to arrange some essential cable ramp installation tools such as hammer and clamping tools. You may also need a drilling machine to make holes in the ground if they are not already present.
  2. After arranging the tools, prepare the installation site and check the area for any obstacles. Installation must be carried out on a smooth, clean and stable surface. The broken or unbalanced ground makes installation difficult and damages the cable protector under heavy vehicular or foot traffic.
  3. The cable ramp must have connectors or other accessories required for installation. Otherwise, it may result in delay during installation, or leaving the cable ramp on roads without properly mounting them can lead to improper installation, resulting in serious accidents.
  4. You should also know the number of wires that need to be covered and their diameter because each cable ramp has a specific number of channels and the space to hide wires. If there are bundles of wires, network cables, Ethernet cables, electrical boxes, and printers, you need more than one cable ramp depending on the wires’ thickness. Similarly, you can protect speaker cables, computer workstations, industry cables, CCTV, or security alarm cables with cable ramps.
  5. If the length of wires is longer than one cable ramp, you can interlock modular parts with connectors and increase the length as much as you want. Multiple cable ramps are tightly secured with each other, and foot or vehicular traffic cannot detach them.

Where to install cable ramps?

Cable ramps are the most straightforward approaches to making a pace well-managed and organized with cord covers. The wire and cable management with the cable covers allows better alignment that prevents wires from heating and, as a result, prevents tripping accidents.

The most common yet significant places where cable ramps are installed include:

      Indoor places

      Many cords and electrical wires at home often remain tangled and unnoticed. These messed-up wires are most susceptible to trips and lead to severe hazards.

      Therefore, whether you have a cleaner, computer, TV or other devices, install cable protectors and ensure a secure environment at your place. Cable protectors also arrange wires and give a neat look.

      Outdoor cable ramp installation sites

      You can install cable ramps to conceal wires on roads where foot traffic or pedestrians can damage the cords. Vehicular or foot traffic can damage wires; similarly, exposed wires are dangerous.

      So, use the best cable ramps to protect everyone. You can use these cord covers in the streets, driveways, raceways, garages, or warehouses and get an additional benefit from the bump as they also help reduce the vehicles’ speed.

      Industrial or official sites

      Industries, workstations, and offices are sites where bundles of wires can mess up due to extensive cabling. Plus, the job sites have employees working around the high-density cable network; damage to a single electrical cable or industrial cable can lead to a hazard.

      You can use low or medium-profile office cable covers, but construction and industrial units need heavy-duty cable ramps.

      Event organization

      Musical events or weddings involve using different electrical equipment in the crowd. So, it is best to cover wires with rubber or polyurethane cable ramps that arrange wires in the braided sleeving and anti-slip material to prevent slipping accidents.

      Conclusion

      Cable protectors or cable ramps are outstanding cable and wire organizers that serve as flame retardants by discouraging trip hazards.

      If bundles of wires, cables, cable ducts or wiring are in your home, garage, home office, or workstation, don’t leave them cluttered and nicely organized to prevent accidents.

      Cable ramps are ideal for concealing wires without adding harm. Instead, they protect the owners, pedestrians, and vehicles with their anti-slip surfaces. Recycled rubber or polyurethane cable cords make a firm grip and avoid slipping accidents outdoors and indoors.
