Cable Clips & Clamps

Cable clips and cable clamps are essential tools for securing and organising cables, ensuring they remain tangle-free and protected from damage. Available in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs, these accessories cater to different cable types and quantities. Whether you're managing a few wires or large bundles, the mechanism of each clip or clamp varies slightly to offer the most effective solution for your needs.

How Do Cable Clips & Clamps Work?

Cable clips and cable clamps are designed to simplify cable management and ensure your cables are securely held in place. Here's a quick guide on how RS NZ’s cable clips and clamps work:

• Design and Installation: Cable clips and wire clips are typically small, sturdy devices that can be easily attached to various surfaces such as walls, desks, or ceilings. They feature a central channel or opening where the cable can be inserted. Some cable clips come with adhesive backing for quick installation, while others may require screws or nails.
• Securing Your Cables: To use a cable clip or wire clamp, simply position it in the desired location along the cable's path. The opening of the clip or clamp should face the direction in which the cable will be inserted. Insert the cable into the central channel, ensuring it fits snugly without being overly compressed or stretched. Cable clamps, on the other hand, often have adjustable straps or locking mechanisms to provide a tighter grip on cables.
• Adjustability and Organisation: Many cable clips and clamps offer flexibility in adjusting the position of the clip or clamp along the cable's length. This allows you to achieve neat and organised cable routing, preventing tangles and keeping your workspace tidy. Effective cable management not only improves aesthetics but also helps prevent accidental damage to cables.

Types of Cable Clips & Clamps

Cable clips and clamps come in various forms to accommodate different cable types, sizes, and applications. Here's a brief overview of some common types:

P Clips

P clips, also known as plastic cable clamps or push-in cable clips, are versatile and widely used for securing cables to various flat surfaces, such as a wall or panel. They are typically made from durable plastic and feature a P-shaped design with a flexible arm that snaps shut to hold the cable in place. P clips are available in different sizes to accommodate various cable diameters and can be easily installed with screws or nails.

Saddle Clamps

Saddle clamps are designed to secure cables to round or curved surfaces, such as pipes or conduits. They feature a saddle-shaped design that wraps around the surface, with a clamp mechanism that tightens to hold the cable securely. Saddle clamps are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications where cables need to be routed along curved surfaces.

Girder Cable Clips

Girder cable clips are specifically designed for attaching cables to steel girders or beams. They feature a robust construction with a hook or clamp mechanism that securely grips the girder flange. Girder cable clips are commonly used in construction and infrastructure projects to secure electrical wiring and communication cables along steel structures.

Adjustable Clamps

Adjustable clamps, also known as cable grips or bundling clamps, feature an adjustable clamp mechanism that can be tightened or loosened to accommodate different cable diameters.They are are often used in data centres, telecommunications, and industrial settings where cables need to be bundled together or secured in tight spaces.
