Wire Cable Grip in Jeddah is a cable installation accessory designed to grip and pull suitable cables, wires and similar lines during controlled installation work. The Cablegrip Type K I-K uses a double-braided steel mesh with one open end and a pressed-on thimble at the other end. Its steel construction provides high tensile strength and good wear resistance for suitable cable-pulling applications.

A Wire Cable Grip, also known as a cable pulling grip, cable pulling sock, wire pulling sock or cable grip sock, is a flexible mesh device used to create a secure pulling connection around a suitable cable.
The Type K I-K design has a double braid. One side remains open for positioning around the cable, while the opposite side has a pressed-on thimble that provides the connection point for suitable pulling equipment. The grip uses steel strands with a 1 × 19 construction.
The steel mesh tightens around the cable when pulling tension is applied. This creates a distributed gripping action around the cable rather than relying on a simple tied connection.
The Type K I-K range is available in steel and stainless steel. The listed variants cover working cable diameters from approximately 6 mm to 200 mm, with permissible tensile forces depending on the selected size and material.
The exact grip must match the cable diameter and required pulling force. Workers should check the working diameter, permissible tensile force, overall length and material before selecting a cable grip.
Electrical Cable Installation: Electrical contractors can use suitable wire cable grips when pulling cables through prepared routes, ducts and cable pathways.
Underground Cable Installation: Suitable grips can assist with controlled cable pulling through underground routes when the cable diameter and pulling force match the grip specifications.
Cable Duct Work: The pressed thimble provides a connection point for suitable pulling equipment when routing cables through ducts and conduits.
Industrial Electrical Projects: Industrial contractors can use cable grips during electrical installation and maintenance projects in plants, workshops and facilities.
Power Distribution Projects: Suitable wire cable grips can support cable installation during power distribution work when the selected grip matches the cable.
Building Electrical Work: Installation teams can use cable pulling grips for suitable cable-routing operations in commercial and industrial buildings.
Infrastructure Projects: Contractors can use suitable cable grips during infrastructure and utility installation where controlled cable pulling is required.
Cable Replacement: Maintenance teams can use an appropriate grip when replacing existing cables, provided the cable diameter, pulling route and permissible pulling force remain within the specified limits.
Nassguard supplies Wire Cable Grips in Jeddah and Riyadh for suitable electrical installation work. Contractors in Dammam and Jubail can use suitable cable pulling grips for industrial and infrastructure projects. The product is also supplied in Al Khobar and across Saudi Arabia.
The Type K I-K Wire Cable Grip provides a practical connection between a suitable cable and pulling equipment. Its double-braided steel mesh distributes the gripping action around the cable.
The pressed thimble provides a defined connection point. This makes the grip suitable for use with compatible pulling arrangements, including swivel connectors where the installation setup requires them. The manufacturer documentation also identifies Type K I-K as suitable for use with swivel connectors.
Steel strands provide high tensile forces and good wear characteristics. This makes the construction suitable for demanding cable-pulling applications when the selected size matches the installation requirements.
The product range also gives contractors flexibility. For example, listed steel variants include working diameter ranges such as 10.10–15 mm, 15.10–20 mm, 20.10–25 mm and larger ranges up to 160.10–200 mm. Permissible tensile force increases with the selected configuration.
Stainless-steel versions are also available. One listed stainless-steel Type K I-K configuration has a 15.10–20 mm working diameter range, 900 mm overall length and 5 kN permissible tensile force. Its listed operating temperature range is -40°C to 150°C.
| Material | Working Diameter | Overall Length | Permissible Tensile Force |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | 15.10–20 mm | 900 mm | 5.0 kN |
| Stainless steel | 40.10–50 mm | 1,350 mm | 20.90 kN |
| Stainless steel | 70.10–80 mm | 1,600 mm | 30.90 kN |
| Stainless steel | 130.10–170 mm | 1,825 mm | 69.80 kN |
| Stainless steel | 160.10–200 mm | 1,850 mm | 74.80 kN |
| Steel | 10.10–15 mm | 800 mm | 4.70 kN |
| Steel | 20.10–25 mm | 1,000 mm | 8.90 kN |
| Steel | 50.10–60 mm | 1,450 mm | 23.20 kN |
| Steel | 100.10–130 mm | 1,700 mm | 51.00 kN |
| Steel | 160.10–200 mm | 1,875 mm | 79.70 kN |
Before using a Wire Cable Grip, workers should measure the cable diameter and compare it with the grip’s specified working diameter range.
The pulling force should remain within the permissible tensile force of the selected grip. Workers should also check the cable condition, pulling equipment and installation route before starting.
Inspect the steel mesh, pressed thimble and connection area for broken strands, corrosion, deformation or other visible damage. A damaged grip should not be used.
The grip should remain correctly positioned around the cable during the pulling operation. Sudden loading and excessive pulling force can increase stress on the cable and grip.
Workers should also ensure that the pulling arrangement remains aligned with the intended direction of travel. The selected cable grip should be suitable for the cable type and installation conditions.
