Ellis has extended its range of plastic trefoil cable cleats, making it suitable for electrical cables up to a diameter of 83mm.

Trident, which is a trefoil polymeric cleat, was introduced by Ellis in 2016 in order to give the company greater traction in Europe, where similar products are in high demand, now features nine different sized products covering Ø24-83mm.

Richard Shaw, managing director of Ellis, said: “We developed Trident to put us on a level playing field with those who already manufactured and sold all-plastic trefoil cleats – especially in Germany and Holland were such products have been popular for a long-time.”

“The success we’ve enjoyed since, both in these specific markets and others – including here in the UK –, meant we had absolutely no hesitation in extending the range to cover all the most-used cable sizes.”

Trident has an FEA optimised design that is both elegant and cost effective and is manufactured as standard in V0 0H 30 per cent glass filled nylon. It is also available in a London Underground Limited (LUL) approved polymer that meets London Underground standard 1-085. Both versions of the product have been short-circuit tested to IEC61914.
