Poster pocket suspension
Cable displays are popular sign suspension kits incorporating tensioned vertical cables used to support variable height acrylic poster pockets. We offer various wire hanging display systems and our cable display parts are popular with the sign trade and self-installers alike.
Dual purpose cable kits - for wall or ceiling
Cable systems are frequently used for estate agent window display where the top of the cable is fixed to the ceiling and the bottom is attached to the floor. Our cable kits offer the additional option for wall to wall cable display - or hybrid systems where one anchor is wall fixed while the other is secured to the floor. This is made possible thanks to the ingenious swivel cable anchor fittings.
One end of the cable (usually the top) is secured inside the threaded barrel of the tensioner fitting. A few turns of the barrel tensions the cable. A small spring inside the fitting maintains the tension.
For extra convenient assembly the other anchor incorporates a cable gripper - no ferrules and grub screws required - with top button release (in case you need to slacken the cable or disassemble).
Each anchor is manufactured with a screw on boss which attaches to the wall or ceiling. The main body is attached to the boss with a few turns.
Two types of pocket side clamps - Classic or Gripper
Classic edge clamps to secure acrylic pockets to the cable have a grub screw to attach the pocket and a separate grub screw to fasten the fitting to the cable.
Gripper edge clamps only use grub screws to attach to the 'wings' of the pocket. Gripper fittings are threaded onto the cable and a self locking internal gripper mechanism holds the clamp on the wire. The clamps can be slid up the wire freely. To lower simply depress the button where the cable emerges and the clutch is released. The clamp fitting can be lowered, bringing the pocket with it. Fine adjustment is possible.
Both types of clamp are supplied in single and double-sided versions. The single fittings are fitted on the outer cables and the double clamps are used on the intermediate cables of 2-Bay, 3-Bay or 4-Bay multi-column arrays.
All cable display components have an attractive matt silver finish.
They are intended for applications such as securing poster pockets and thin rigid sign panels (up to 3mm thick)
They are not intended for use supporting glass shelves
They are intended for vertical installation, not as horizontal catenary wires
Installing cable displays
Successful installation requires the ability to drill into walls, floors or ceilings with precision to ensure cables end up vertical and correctly spaced apart. Screws and plastic plugs are supplied for typical installations but the installer should be able to assess any special fixing requirements due to individual site circumstances. They should also be used to considering whether buried electric cables or pipes might cause issues. We suggest that installation is carried out by a trades person or competent DIYer.
How anchors are fixed to wall, floor or ceiling
Swivel anchors comprise a threaded circular base plate which is attached to the wall, floor or ceiling using a single screw, plus the main body which then twists onto the base plate. This provides a concealed fixing. The swivel feature means that the same fitments can be used on a vertical surface (wall) or horizontal surface (ceiling or floor) or angled surface (sloping ceiling).
How cables are tensioned
The supplied cables are 4m long 1.5mm diameter galvanised wire with a termination at one end. The wires are very strong provided that the top and bottom anchors are fixed securely into a wall or ceiling capable of providing a suitable anchoring point.
To achieve taut cables there is a threaded adjustment in the top anchor fitting - a threaded barrel containing a small spring to compensate for any cable stretch over time. Initially the cable should be pulled tight from the opposite end with a few threads showing at the top anchor. The cable is gripped by the bottom anchor which has a convenient in built cable gripper. Initial tension is achived by pulling taut. Final tension is achieved by winding up the threaded barrel at the top anchor. (The anchors can also be reversed to enable tensioning form the bottom if preferred).
The supplied cables are 4m long so normally there is excess cable to be trimmed off once the cables are all fitted and correctly tensioned. Always leave a short tail visible so cables can be re-tensioned if required.
