Flex Cablegrip in Saudi is a specialized cable-pulling accessory designed to provide a secure grip on suitable cables during controlled installation work. The Flex-Cablegrip Type K I-L uses a galvanized steel, single-braid construction with a pressed-on loop. It is particularly suitable for fiber optic cables, where controlled pulling and careful handling are important.
Nassguard supplies Flex Cablegrips in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail and Al Khobar, with supply available across Saudi Arabia.
A Flex Cablegrip is a flexible wire-mesh pulling grip designed to hold a suitable cable during installation. It is also known as a cable pulling sock, cable pulling grip, wire cable grip, cable grip sock or cable installation grip.
The Type K I-L has a single-braid construction. One side is open, while the other side has a pressed-on loop that provides the connection point for suitable pulling equipment.
The product uses galvanized steel rope with 7 × 7 construction and a stated rope tensile strength class of 1,960 N/mm². The manufacturer specifically identifies this Flex Cablegrip as particularly suitable for fiber optic cables.
The grip works by tightening around the cable as pulling force is applied. This provides a distributed gripping action and helps create a practical connection between the cable and suitable pulling equipment.
The Type K I-L range includes different working diameter ranges, lengths and permissible tensile forces. Therefore, the correct configuration should always match the cable being installed.
Fiber Optic Cable Installation: The Type K I-L is particularly suitable for fiber optic cables and can provide a controlled gripping connection during suitable fiber-optic installation work.
Telecommunications Projects: Telecommunication contractors can use suitable Flex Cablegrips when installing fiber optic infrastructure through prepared routes, ducts and cable pathways.
Cable Duct Installation: A suitable Flex Cablegrip can help installers pull cables through ducts and conduits while maintaining a dedicated connection between the cable and pulling equipment.
Underground Cable Work: Suitable Flex Cablegrip configurations can support controlled cable pulling during underground installation when the cable diameter and pulling force remain within the product specifications.
Data and Communication Infrastructure: The product can be used for suitable communication-cable projects where the cable diameter and pulling requirements match the grip specifications.
Industrial Cable Installation: Industrial contractors can use suitable Flex Cablegrips during electrical and communication infrastructure installation.
Nassguard supplies Flex Cablegrips in Riyadh and Jeddah for suitable cable installation projects. Contractors in Dammam and Jubail can source appropriate cable pulling grips for industrial and infrastructure work. Supply is also available in Al Khobar and across Saudi Arabia.
The main advantage of the Flex Cablegrip Type K I-L is its design for controlled cable pulling, particularly with fiber optic cables.
Its single-braid mesh provides flexibility around the cable. The pressed-on loop gives installers a defined connection point for suitable pulling equipment.
The galvanized steel construction also provides a practical solution for general cable installation environments. The manufacturer lists the Type K I-L with different sizes, including working diameter ranges from 6–10 mm through 30.10–40 mm in the variants shown.
The available configurations also have different overall lengths. Listed variants range from 675 mm to 1,100 mm. Permissible tensile force varies by size, with listed examples from 2 kN to 5.3 kN and a larger listed configuration of 7.7 kN.
For fiber optic installation, correct selection matters. The grip should match the cable diameter, while the pulling force should remain within the documented limit.
| Working Diameter | Overall Length | Permissible Tensile Force |
|---|---|---|
| 6–10 mm | 675 mm | 2 kN |
| 10.10–15 mm | 775 mm | 2 kN |
| 20.10–25 mm | 900 mm | 3.8 kN |
| 25.10–30 mm | 1,025 mm | 5.3 kN |
| 30.10–40 mm | 1,100 mm | 7.7 kN |
Before using a Flex Cablegrip, measure the outside diameter of the cable. Compare it with the working diameter range of the selected grip.
Next, check the required pulling force. The pulling force must remain within the permissible tensile force specified for that particular configuration.
Inspect the wire mesh and pressed loop before use. Look for broken wires, corrosion, deformation, excessive wear or other visible damage.
For fiber optic applications, the installation team should also follow the cable manufacturer’s handling and pulling requirements. The cable grip should be suitable for the cable construction and installation method.
Avoid sudden loading and excessive pulling force. The pulling arrangement should remain controlled and aligned with the intended cable route.
1. What is a Flex Cablegrip used for?
A Flex Cablegrip is used to provide a controlled gripping connection around a suitable cable during pulling and installation work. The Type K I-L is particularly suitable for fiber optic cables.
2. What makes Type K I-L different from a standard Cablegrip?
The Type K I-L uses a single-braid galvanized steel construction with one open end and a pressed-on loop. It is specifically identified as particularly suitable for fiber optic cables.
3. What material is used in the Flex Cablegrip?
The Type K I-L uses galvanized steel rope with 7 × 7 construction and a stated tensile strength class of 1,960 N/mm².
4. What cable diameters are available?
The listed configurations cover working diameter ranges from approximately 6–10 mm to 30.10–40 mm.
5. What is the permissible tensile force of Type K I-L?
The permissible tensile force depends on the selected size. Listed configurations range from 2 kN to 7.7 kN.
6. Can the Flex Cablegrip be used for fiber optic cables?
Yes. The Type K I-L is specifically described as particularly suitable for fiber optic cables. The selected grip must still match the cable diameter and pulling requirements.
