Cable Pulling Grips
When laying cables through pipes, shafts, or conduit systems, a secure connection between the cable and the pulling aid is crucial. Cable pulling grips transfer the pulling forces evenly to the cable jacket, avoiding localized point loads and thus reducing the risk of damage, particularly on narrow or long stretches or with communication cables.
A cable pulling grip is a braided, tubular element that is pushed over the cable end and tightens automatically when pulled. This design distributes the pulling force over a large surface area, which prevents slipping and protects the cable. For cable pulling, the tedious removal of the cable jacket and insulation is eliminated.
Cable pulling grips are pushed over the cable end and tighten automatically under tension. The pulling force is distributed evenly over the length of the grip, which protects the cable jacket and reliably prevents slipping.

Multiple Cat.6 LAN cables must be pulled through a pipe. Connecting individual wires and cable cores is laborious:
Enclose the cable jacket with a cable pulling grip; no time-consuming stripping and connecting of fine copper wires, which would taper under increased tensile force and thus negatively affect the LAN measurement values.
► Our recommendations: Cable pulling grip with thread, loop, or quick-release (hook)

Pre-assembled LAN connection cables must be routed through a hollow floor without damaging the connectors:
Instead of attaching the LAN cables to the cable pulling system with wire and wrapping them with excessive electrical tape, it is advantageous to use a cable pulling grip with a protective cap. This provides ideal protection and is very time-saving.

Heavy connection cables must be pulled through conduit systems. Connecting to the cable pulling system is time-consuming and must withstand enormous tensile forces:
Due to the high tensile forces, the cable pulling grip contracts and holds the cable reliably by its jacket with up to 5800 kg of tensile force.

Cable pulling grip with loop
Flexible stainless steel mesh adjusts to cables with Ø 4–15 mm. The integrated swivel prevents twisting and reduces friction in the pipe. The slim looping technology enables fast, ergonomic pulling and is compatible with fiberglass rods and guide tubes – durable, rust-proof, and reliable for telecom and electrical installations.
