Routing and strain relief for multiple cables in solar installations

Multiple routing in solar installations

The QwicGrip cable holder offers a cost-effective fastening solution for the solar industry, streamlining installation with its push-in clamp that enables quick and easy one-handed cable laying. Each QwicGrip cable fastener can securely hold two cables ranging from 5.2 mm to 8 mm in diameter, and multiple cable holders can be linked together to manage larger cable runs in parallel.

By ensuring even cable spacing, QwicGrip cable fasteners also help minimise power loss due to electromagnetic interference. These cable holders are available in weather-resistant polyamide 6.6 (PA66W) and a more sustainable alternative, polyamide 11 (PA11). Derived from renewable castor oil sources, PA11 is an eco-friendly choice that offers durability in outdoor applications, with exceptional resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and UV radiation, even in subtropical conditions.

For parallel applications, cable ties with widths ranging from 4.6 mm to 8.6 mm can be used, corresponding to our T50 to T120 series. For perpendicular applications, a cable tie with a width of 4.6 mm is suitable, corresponding to our T50 series.

Interconnectable automative harness clips

The cable holders in the IAHC series are used wherever several cables have to be routed in parallel. As with the AHC series, the cables are fastened quickly and easily using the push-and-click system. Particularly practical: Several IAHC holders can be connected and combined with each other by means of a coupler. The fastened cables can all be mounted on a single fixing point.

With the T50SMVCOC19 wire holder the routed cable can move in any direction in relation to the mounting point.

The wire holders of the IAHC series are characterized by the following advantages

  • Fast assembly due to the simple push and click system
  • Parallel routing of several cables with few fixing points over long distances
  • Universally applicable across industries
  • Self-closing and reopenable for maintenance, saving time and effort
  • Colour: Black
