The Different Variety Of Cable Covers

Variety is common; you can say that there are many different varieties of variety. Cable Covers are no exception to this rule and for us technology junkies we wouldn’t want it any other way. Pardon the frequent puns as we explain to you faithful reader the differences of cable covers and how many are not created equal. There we go again with the puns but please don’t think we’re not about business. But why not attempt to amuse you (no matter how bad our efforts are) and educate you simultaneously.

Well, let’s get started. Different capacities for cable covers are light, medium and heavy. Now that’s just the beginning within these three categories of cable cover there are hundreds upon hundreds of different covers that are intended for the smallest job all the way to the biggest.

Don’t worry though we did the legwork for you and will give you some facts and figures that may interest you as well as the names for these different types of covers. After reading this article you’ll no longer be unprepared in your search to complete whatever technological endeavor you have started.

All three capacities have their role in the grand scheme of things. Each capacity has models of cable cover that are intended for home and business of all sizes. Rubber and PVC are two materials used for the manufacture of this and other varieties of cables covers. There are also variations on these cable covers.

There are standard covers which are the first ones you make think of but there are also dropover protectors, mat protectors and standard style covers with power extensions (extra outlets). All suit different needs and run in different lengths.

Let’s briefly discuss some of the more popular variety of cable covers that can potentially serve your needs. Standard protectors are the good old standby of cable covers. For your average set up there’s nothing wrong with this type of cover it’ll do the job it needs to do to protect your cables and anyone walking by your machine. Power extensions are another good choice if you need an extra source to plug into.

Drop covers are cable covers which resemble a crosswalk. This resemblance is appropriate considering that drop covers were intended for areas where frequent walking occurs. Other avenues that utilize cables covers like these are movie sets and factories again due to the amount of people that you tend to have walking around the place.

The drop cover varieties of cable covers also have the ability to for unlimited length. Like a puzzle you can fit piece after piece. In an environment where you’re going to have long cables this is a lifesaver.

Special floor mats designed for cable covering are also available. In my cases this may work just as well for you. Again it really is a matter of personal preference if this is a home operation. In a professional setting the rules are completely different. Although the floor mat cable covers are not uncommon in say an office where foot traffic exists but it isn’t to the same degree or frequency of a factory’s main floor for example.

Admittedly shopping for a cable cover may not be the easiest thing to do. With a versatile variety and different levels of strength you need to know what your exact needs are before a purchase.
