also providing for cable management in CAB’s patented solar hangers. The hangers are avail- able in numerous configurations to support a variety of cabling. CAB can help identify which of the hangers will work best for a project. www.cabproducts.com
HellermannTyton
HellermannTyton’s PVDF Solar Tie is
a commercial-scale, plastic solar tie designed to last more than 25 years. The cable tie’s unique material and pawl design are responsible for its extended lifespan and performance. Manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF, this outdoor tie exhibits high UV, chemical, and thermal resistance for a plastic
resin, with a maximum operating temperature of 284°F. It was designed to replace metal ties, known to sometimes slice through electrified solar cables and lead to catastrophic faults. Some metal ties require a hand tool to crimp them closed, a time- consuming inconvenience. www.hellermann.tyton.com
HellermannTyton
HellermannTyton’s Solar Locking Clamp is an easy-to-install solar wire manage- ment fastener. Engineered to fit the predrilled holes on most solar modules, the integrated fir tree can be inserted effortlessly. This fastener’s high extrac- tion resistance makes it suitable for use on single-axis trackers. The solar locking clamp was inspired by install- ers who run standard cable ties directly through sharp module holes, a solution that fails prematurely. A molded-in saddle allows users to add a Solar
Tie to extend the bundle capacity. Manufactured of high impact modified, heat-resistant, UV stabilized material, the locking clamp is a solution for long- term performance in any climate. www.hellermann.tyton.com
