No cable can meet the demands posed today in terms of abrasion resistance, tensile strength and form consistency or impact resistance without having appropriate cable protection. Wire conduits have to meet these demands and also provide protection against dirt and dampness or resistance against extreme temperature loads.
From excellent flexibility, to high flame-retardant properties to exceptional mechanical protection, thick-walled or thin-walled, HellermannTyton guarantees the highest quality and safety in all cable protection areas. Wherever cable protection is needed, there are unique requirements. Whilst cable protection in plant and machinery construction requires high levels of mechanical impact resistance and abrasion resistance, a wire conduit or braided sleeving used in public buildings or in rolling-stock must meet the highest fire safety standards.
In addition to the outstanding material properties of the flexible cable protection conduits from HellermannTyton, customers also benefit from system solutions. For each metallic or non-metallic cable conduit in the HelaGuard series, there are a number of accessories available, for example:
Whether construction or retrofitting, for example with braided sleeves that can be re-opened or closed, find the right cable protection solution for your application now.

The Heladuct Flex flexible cable supports are a space-saving wiring system which holds the routed cable clearly open to view. Cables can be routed in or out over the whole length of the support. The supports can be rapidly mounted either with screws or an adhesive strip.
The premium foam bonding layer smooths over irregularities in the underlying surface and works particularly well on powder-coated surfaces. Due to their flexibility, it is possible to install the supports at angles of 90° and higher.
Heladuct Flex is commonly used in switching cabinets. They are also used in the furniture industry, where cables need to be routed rapidly and attractively.
Cable protection is used to safeguard cables from mechanical damage, environmental hazards, and accidental interference. Implementing cable protection measures helps ensure the integrity, longevity, and reliability of cable systems. Cable protection can be applied to different kinds of cables and there are several methods of cable protection available such as physical protection (trays, conduits, and ducts), routing and support (trays, cable ties, clamps, and brackets).
Overall, cable protection is important for maintaining reliable and safe operations, prolonging cable lifespan, reducing downtime, and protecting data and communication systems. It is an essential aspect of infrastructure design and maintenance across various industries.
Cable protection is beneficial in a wide range of industries where cables are used for power transmission, data transmission and overall communication infrastructure. This includes the following: construction and infrastructure, power generation and distribution, telecommunications and data centers, oil and gas, manufacturing as well as the transportation sector.
Cable protection systems are designed to provide physical protection against various environmental factors that can harm cables, including moisture, chemicals, oils, corrosive substances, mechanical stresses, and extreme temperatures. Corrosive environments, such as coastal areas with high salt content or chemical processing facilities, require cables to be protected to prevent degradation over time. In such scenarios, cable protection solutions made of materials resistant to corrosion, such as stainless steel or PVC, are commonly used.
It is important to exercise caution when removing cable protection to avoid damaging the cables or any underlying components. Safe cable protection removal will depend on the specific type of protection in place. To remove cable sleeves for example, simply unfasten any velcro or adhesive closures and slide the sleeve off the cables. To remove cable conduits, you will need to unfasten any brackets or clips holding them in place and then slide the conduits off the cables.
Protecting cables against rodents is essential to prevent damage and safety hazards. Rodents, such as rats and mice, have a natural tendency to gnaw on various materials, including cables, which can lead to costly repairs or disruptions in services. To prevent this, you can take the following measures:
