Cable Management
Investing in product development As projects become more demanding, manufacturers must invest in products that respond to changing installation requirements. One example of this approach can be seen in the evolution of CMP’s cleat ranges to better address different cable sizes and installation demands. The Everest and Olympus ranges were developed for larger MV/HV cable diameters (typically 100–200 mm), offering increased strength, deeper cable contact and four-point clamping for high-load applications.
Recognising that some smaller cable installations can also benefit from a more robust solution, CMP introduced the Everest-S (trefoil) and Olympus-S (single cable) ranges. Everest-S covers 52–100 mm, while Olympus-S extends from 50–110 mm. Both retain the core design approach but with a more compact profile and two-point clamping. Positioned between standard and larger MV/ HV cleats, they provide additional strength where needed – such as longer support spacings or vertical installations - without over-specifying. In parallel, increasing power densities –
“Innovation is increasingly shaped by customer needs… Whether improving installation efficiency, increasing flexibility or enhancing product longevity, advancements are focused on helping installers and specifiers meet evolving project demands.”
particularly in sectors such as data centres - have driven the development of quad cleat designs, including Saturn QSDSS and heavy-duty Mercury QHDSS, allowing phase conductors and neutral to be secured within a single cleat to optimise space. Supporting accessories, such as intermediate restraints, further improve installation efficiency and reduce on-site time and cost.
Such developments reflect how innovation is increasingly shaped by customer needs. Whether improving installation efficiency, increasing flexibility or enhancing product longevity, advancements are focused on helping installers and specifiers meet evolving project demands.
Looking ahead
As expectations around safety and compliance continue to grow, cable cleats can no longer be treated as an afterthought. Choosing the right product – supported by proven testing and technical expertise – helps ensure installations perform as intended, both immediately and over the long term.
It gives everyone involved confidence that safety, reliability and performance have been built in from the outset.
