Power cables in applications like data centers carry high fault currents. During a short circuit event, the electromagnetic forces between conductors can become extreme in a fraction of a second. Without proper restraint, cables can whip, collide and fail. This creates risk to equipment and the surrounding infrastructure.
Cable cleats are designed to control this risk. They hold cables in place during fault conditions and limit movement caused by short-circuit forces. When properly specified and installed, they protect both the cable system and the broader power network.
