Power Cable Cover

2009-04-24T08:05:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I updated this blog, but the other day I found something so cool that I just couldn’t keep away from writing about it. Last weekend I bought a Guard Dog® Drop Over Cable Protector and it’s awesome. I might have mentioned that I have plenty of cables passing through my garage and I have had a lot of problems with my connections as my car always succeeded to break the wires. But this cable cover could withstand all of the weight from my car and that without even getting a scratch. The Guard Dog® is so strong that it can withstand weights of 10.500 lbs per tire or 21,000 lbs per axle, so it really doesn’t matter if you drive a Fiat Ponto or a hummer, whatever you do your cables will be protected. Apparently it is constructed in a 5-bar patented surface, you could figure that I would weight a lot but actually it is really light.

The Guard Dog® protector has 3 channels, so there’s plenty of space to organize your cables. You can use it with pipes, conduit, hoses or cables and they would all be safe. So for you guys who also have wires and cables in your garage or anywhere where your cables take a lot of damage from vehicles etc, buy this cable cover, you won’t regret it!

Metal Cable Covers: What Makes Them Different

2008-08-08T23:53:00.001-07:00

Metal cable covers, what makes them different? In previous articles we’ve touched briefly on the different types of cable covers in regards to their level of quality, weight capacity and specific use. We’ve yet to really discuss the type of material that certain cable covers are made of.

Well, that’s about to change. This article’s purpose is to focus on metal cable covers and how important a purpose they serve in the grand scheme of things. With technology whether we’re discussing high end computer systems or fancy machines relies on cables. That’s plain and simple we’ve made no secret about that in our other articles and to enter into denial at this point is foolhardy as it will only diminish our character to you our dear readers.

Trust us, if you don’t read what we have to tell you about the world of technology then we’re going to be pretty useless in any other respect. So now that we’ve reiterated to you that the overabundance of cables hasn’t changed a bit since the last article we wrote we can then further explain why the best cable chords are needed in settings like a big company. Most often metal cable covers are the type we can count out for our heavy duty needs.

You have to think about things this way, big businesses are very busy companies. With machinery that can’t afford to stop running and phones lines/computers that can’t stop corresponding we have a whole mess of cables, chords and wires to account for. Not all of them can just be covered by ordinary rubber or PVC cable covers.

Sometimes we run out of room inside these buildings so every once in a while the chords extend to an outdoor setting. That’s metal cable come into play and they’re definitely a different breed than their rubber and PVC counterparts. While one can’t argue the job that at any capacity (from light to heavy) rubber and PVC cable covers perform is great, the metal cable covers are in a class all their own.

These cable covers anticipate the frequent arrival or heavy duty vehicles from supply trucks all the way to high end delivery vans and trailers. So thousands upon thousands of pounds of weight roll over on these cable covers every day therefore you need to have something that’s the absolute best.

Metal cable covers are reliable for that. The actual costs are a rather good deal. A basic outdoor housing bridge metal cable cover that can sustain a vehicle’s weight the size of a fire truck is in the $300 range. After a whole first month’s worth of use the item has paid for itself more than ten times over.

If you’re concerned about finding material of a strong enough capacity, worry not. These material manufacturers are aware of how every single case is different from the next. Understanding this many companies offer custom orders that allow you to design the ultimate cable cover bridge that could sustain an all night convoy or a platoon of Army tankmen. These costs vary greatly but starting at under $200 you can begin your ultimate high capacity metal cable cover project if your main concern is high vehicle traffic.

Now, we’re not saying that a fleet of truck drivers are going to confuse your building for being an all night diner or that the military is going to think they’re arriving back at base. If such a crazy day actually ever did come at least you know that you’re prepared for the unexpected and that your cables would be safe because of the wise investments you made in purchasing adequate metal cable covers.

Cable Covers: Safety First Why That Shouldn’t Be A “Shock”

2008-08-08T23:51:00.002-07:00

We know a lot of you reading have to be absolutely excited when it comes to working on things like networks and high end machinery and such, after all why else would things like cable covers interest you? So that’s why going over safety with you guys shouldn’t be a shock. Don’t take it the wrong way but we feel that if we’re telling you everything else about cable covers that since everyone’s level of expertise on the subject is different than providing safety information is vital. Especially if we are talking about something like electricity which all in all seriously truly is more than just a shock!

Needless to say the tone of this article will be a little more serious compared to our prior literary outings. So let’s begin on what we can do to make sure we are protecting ourselves as well as our equipment. Of course our own safety is priority number one but next in line definitely has to be equipment safety as well. Because in the event equipment safety is at risk than our own safety will be put at risk too.

Sometimes we forget to think that what could be a simple short circuit with a tiny spark could end up becoming something A LOT bigger if we are not attentive to its happening. That’s why in the event you have to examine and trouble shoot any cable covers issues make sure that you disable the power source nearest the cables. Remember, this is a similar situation to a wire molding project where you have to ensure that wires from the outlet source are in working order.

We want and need the flow of power to perform the amazing technological tasks that is has the capacity too but a lack of respect when working around it can be more harm than good. This is no different when working on cable covers for any purpose. Wearing rubber soled shoes and rubber gloves offer a source of protection.

This won’t turn you into Superman but you are a bit better prepared in the case an electric current tries to get a little crazy. Other things to be aware of are where electric shock is a possibility for instance you’ll want to avoid having wet hands and just plain avoid anything else that’s going to attract electricity. That means if a frayed wire that is still live is flying around don’t go running after it, electric current doesn’t discriminate and organic matter namely us human beings are ripe for the picking as a result.

In severe storms any maintenance or repair work on cable covers should outright be avoided. After all, the cable cover will still be there or in the event of irreparable damage a mere replacement can be furnished after the fact. It’s a payable price unlike the unconditional value of the safety of human life.

Ensure that all equipment you’re working with is in good condition because that can become a catalyst to an electrical disaster when working with cable covers. In the event someone else’s safety is in danger then be careful to prevent another accident by avoiding direct contact with the person. Now don’t get us wrong we want you to be able to help but go about in this way:

DO NOT stand on a wet surface and make sure you yourself aren’t wet.
IMMEDIATELY stop the power source by unplugging the appliance or turning off the circuit breaker. Merely turning off the apparatus does not guarantee the electrical current will stop.
Non-conductive materials that will negate the flow of electricity are needed to aid the victim. You can extend these materials much in the same way as a life saver is used for someone who’s drowning (Examples of non-conductive materials are a piece of wood, rope, cloth or rubber)
Be certain that you aid the person with one of these non-conductive objects but avoid direct contact at the same time. Use only the material as your method of contact with the victim.
Seek immediate professional help and hope for the best. Continue to stay at the victim’s side to assure them they’ll be alright.

There’s not enough that we can say about safety. We just hope and wish you the best when it comes to good safety practice when working around cable covers. When in doubt never be afraid to double, triple or even quadruple check to make sure that things like power sources are turned off or that you’re properly grounded to the flow of electric current.

Sure, it may be aggravating to invest a more than normal amount of time in double checking and triple checking however for the few extra seconds with invest in this practice is for the best. In closing dear reader, it should be no “shock” to you by now that we’re out here to provide information in your best interests! Stay safe! And be a good cable organizer!

Cable Covers: What To Use Indoors And What To Use Outdoors

2008-08-08T23:50:00.000-07:00

Cable covers like we’ve mentioned before have different tolerances and capacities since every application is different than so will the materials that we use to make certain cable covers. For instance what we use for indoor cable covers will be different from outdoor cable covers. One reason for this that with an indoor environment we have a little more control of what’s around us other than outdoor environment where things are just a little more unpredictable.

For indoor home settings, your needs are dependent on what type of cable covers you will need. Mat styled cable covers are another good option for home settings. Smaller offices can benefit from mat styled cable covers.

If you need to run any cables outside your house you’ll want to make sure you purchase a cable cover that can withstand the elements. Depending on what part the country that you live in this varies greatly. Obviously metal covers could potentially suffer from rust with rain and snow.

Indoors we typically run the gamut with cable covers from the very basic to the heavy duty. A basic office of a few machines will probably have a PVC or rubber cable cover. For this setting that’s a more than adequate choice. Not as many people are going to be occupying a setting like this so there’s less potential for excessive pressure being placed on the cable cover.

Use of stronger cable covers in business for example would be on the main floor of a factory. It’s safe to say that the type of cable covers you’ll find are high capacity drop covers. These cable covers can withstand the weight and continuous flow of heavy foot traffic as well as in-house vehicles like fork lifts. In the process this allows everyone to do the job they have to do without compromising the functioning of a computer network or any other essential machinery and that’s only mentioning indoor settings.

Outdoor settings for businesses that cover a lot of ground when running important equipment and computers have a lot more variables to deal with then a home setting. Businesses of all kinds have dealings with other enterprises; this involves such important functions like deliveries. Now vehicles that are delivery goods are going to vary in size and inventory. Both of these things affect how much weight is loaded on the vehicle.

It’s important to make sure that if cables are running underneath certain areas of the building grounds than it’s necessary to have a cable cover that can handle unfathomable amounts of weight. A good example would be a cover with a modular hose bridge system. It’s designed to handle heavy impact and it’s very tolerant of weather changes. Its load capacity is high and can handle practically any vehicle’s mass.

Hopefully, we’ve been able to help narrow down what you are looking for in a cable cover and that you know what’s best for indoor/outdoor settings. Although we couldn’t list everything we at least gave you the very basics so now you have a foundation to build your research on. We have kept in mind the difference among capacities is vital for product selection and applies to all parties concerned. Ranging from the home user to the big company we’re always glad to assist in the quest for product knowledge and we continue to wish you luck in making the right choice!

The Different Variety Of Cable Covers

2008-08-08T23:49:00.002-07:00

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. Hopefully, we’ve given you at least a clearer perspective on what you need now that you’ve read our article. Good luck and thanks for reading!

The Cost of Cable Covers

2008-08-08T23:49:00.001-07:00

Like the title states this article will discuss the cost of cable covers. The answer to how much these convenient accessories cost vary greatly on what exactly you are looking for in a cable cover. Keep in mind that quality does indeed vary and in some cases you do get what you pay for. For people that have invested in a high end computer system or anything else involving multiple cords, wires and cables don’t fret. We’ll help educate you on why it’s imperative that you find the right cable cover at a fair cost

At the low end of prices expect to pay fewer than ten dollars all the way to the very high end at a substantial sum of several hundred dollars. Keep in mind though that these rates are all dependent on what exactly you’re looking for. The length of coverage you need is another factor as well as the amount of cables you need to provide protective coverage for.

For example an ordinary personal set up at someone’s house with the very basic things like a printer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse with all other related cables shouldn’t cost a consumer too much. Now for a high end computer network inside an office building will require something that’s appropriately higher end in its design and capacity.

The extra money you put into purchasing a cable cover definitely lives up to its reputation as protecting your computer cables. As we’ve talked about in other articles who really wants getting around their computer to be akin to an obstacle course. Having a cable cover installed helps to alleviate such aggravations.

So the price you pay is a small one for safety, piece of mind and efficiency. Those are the things that cable covers even the cheapest ones will do for you the consumer. The proposition of buying a cable cover is definitely not expensive though. Anything that protects a previous investment automatically has its own value increased ten fold.

For example, a PVC made cable cover costs $22, if you think about that price compared to the thousands of dollars you spent on a fully operational personal computer along accessories like scanners and printers. That twenty plus dollar purchase definitely has a hand in prolonging the life of your hardware. Obviously, the longer the life of your investment the more value you get back.

Buying a cable cover is any; no…it’s every investment’s trump card. Business at any level understands the need for cable covers in a technology laden environment. These days that practically applies to every place. Therefore a home business or personal user should follow the same logic but obviously won’t have to necessarily spend the hundreds to thousands of dollars that a business would have to.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t hurt to ask questions about the cost of cable covers at a computer/electronics specialty store (your local business folks). It’s a better alternative compared to a big box store. In most cases specialty stores typically have a more vested interest in the technology than a big box corporation whose primarily after dollar one.

With the right luck, the only real cost that you should be concerned about when purchasing a cable cover is quality time to ensure that you’re getting the best product for your very own needs.

Protecting Your Cable Covers From Pets and Vice Versa

2008-08-08T23:48:00.001-07:00

Like the above title states since we’ve invested in our cable covers we want to make sure that we protect that investment. That includes safeguarding it from variables in our household like our dears pets. Don’t get us wrong there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pets but circumstances dictate that we take caution with a cabled area when our furry friends are involved.

We all know that our faithful feline and canine friends will match our footsteps to nearly every point of our house and that’s including our computer area. Now as much as you love Fluffy or Fido you’ll want to protect both the pets and your computer area such as the brand new cable covers you installed. After all it’s in both sides’ best interests to ensure there’s protection from one another.

What danger could a cat or dog possibly pose to a cable cover? Well, actually they can do quite a lot whether it’s their intention to or not. After all pardon the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” but it’s definitely a justifiable expression. Cats are an inquisitive and daring breed of animal. Your cable covers may look like one giant ball of yarn to our sleek little friend. However, what kitty doesn’t realize is that serious consequences could be suffered by this misconception.

For our canine pals they’re just as susceptible to curiosity. Being a typically carefree and fun loving animal a dog with good intentions may want your attention and destroying your cable cover may be the way he or she does it. Like the cat, repercussions are also subject to man’s best friend.

Ensuring that your pets keep a safe distance from your cable covers is for the best. It’s important to keep your cable cover area safe but also you don’t want anything to happen to your pets either. Some scary things could occur if they’re given free reign to run amok through your computer area.

So what do we do to ensure that we can make this happen? The first and best method is to limit or completely restrict access to your cable covers from your pets. If they don’t know about the location then there’s no incentive for them to enter it.

Do what you can to keep the area as unappealing as possible. This may be harder with cats and smaller dogs because they are much lighter on their feet and can reach areas a lot easier than larger dogs. If the area looks uninteresting to the animal though they’ll be less than likely to try to see what’s going on.

Food is another thing to be concerned about if there’s anything our pets love doing it’s eating anything in sight…ANYTHING. If you’re limited to where you can have a setup that uses cables covers be sure not leave open food containers even if they’re empty in the surrounding area. Once your pets get a wiff of or see something they’re going to enquire as to what it is.

It’s the nature of the beast; pardon the less than funny pun. With all kidding aside a situation like this could be a catalyst puts your pet’s safety into jeopardy. In a multi-tasking society it may be a little easier said then done to not eat in front of the computer when doing any work or communication.

Keep these suggestions in mind though because safety is indeed paramount. After all your hard work in putting together your computer area you want to make sure that you’re indeed doing your best in protecting your cable covers from pets and vice versa.
