Results
Talon® cable cleats utilize a rigid high-strength interlocking frame that simultaneously encloses cables and a support rung. Other unique value-added performance features and impressive test results include:
- LOW SMOKE ZERO HALOGEN — safe for personnel, sensitive electronic equipment and the environment
- 20+ YEARS UV PROTECTION — advanced UV formulation
- RAPID INSTALLATION — lowest total installed cost
