Saveking safety cable with double loop, Ø4 mm, 100 cm, 40 kg, DGUV, grey

Recommended Applications

This safety cable is the ideal solution for secondary safety securing of spotlights, profile spotlights, compact moving heads, LED bars and loudspeakers on aluminium truss structures used in touring productions, theatres and television studios. It is particularly suitable for lighting fixtures equipped with a bottom-mounted or bulky eye bolt, where optimising the attachment space is essential while maintaining compliance with suspended-load safety regulations.

Operational Advantages

• Length Optimisation (100 cm): The two quick links allow choke-loop attachment (one connector attached to the lighting fixture and the other closed directly around the cable itself around the truss tube), preventing the cable from being too short when used with fixtures featuring distant anchoring points.
• Reduced Weight on Structures: The shock-absorbing ring absorbs impact forces and allows a cable with a diameter of just 4 mm to provide the same level of protection as a standard 8 mm safety cable.
• Immediate Visual Inspection: The red marking on the braking clamp visibly deforms in the event of a fall or overload, allowing an immediate safety check before each reuse.
  
  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the Saveking® cable inspection marking work before use?

The shock-absorbing brake features a red indicator on the clamp. If the cable is subjected to a fall or overload, the ring tightens and deforms the indicator. If the marking appears altered or has shifted, the cable has already absorbed an impact and must be immediately taken out of service.

What is the operational advantage of having two connectors (two quick links)?

The main advantage of the two-ended attachment system with double connectors is maximum installation flexibility and increased usable cable length.

While with traditional single-loop cables both ends must be brought back and attached directly to the lighting fixture (reducing the cable's effective reach), the two quick links allow you to:

• Attach the first connector to the eye bolt on the lighting fixture.

• Wrap the cable around the structure/truss and close the second connector directly onto the cable itself or around the structure.

This choke-loop/redirect configuration makes it possible to secure lighting fixtures with distant attachment points, or those that would normally require longer cables, using a standard 100 cm safety cable. Furthermore, using the cable in a double-strand configuration increases the maximum safety working load from 40 kg to 60 kg.

Does the cable comply with regulations for installations in public venues and theatres?

Yes. The cable is manufactured and certified in accordance with DGUV 215-313 (formerly BGI 810-3) accident prevention guidelines and the DIN EN 12385-4 standard, which are standard requirements for rigging components used in the live events industry.
