L-shaped fixing bracket for pigtail cable channel

L-shaped fixing brackets are used to securely mount pigtail cable channels to walls, steel supports, or other structures, providing stable support and alignment for cable runs. OverviewL-shaped brackets, also known as channel L brackets, are designed to attach cable channels, struts, or ladders to walls, beams, or other support structures. They are typically made from galvanised steel for durability and corrosion resistance, and are compatible with standard channel sizes such as M10 or M12 fixings.

These brackets are essential for maintaining proper cable routing, preventing sagging, and ensuring compliance with installation standards.

Key Features

Material: Galvanised steel or robust coated steel for long-term durability. Dimensions: Common sizes include 48mm x 48mm with 90-degree angles, suitable for standard pigtail cable channels. Mounting Holes: Typically 14mm holes on each side to accommodate M10 or M12 bolts.

Standards Compliance: Many brackets are manufactured according to BS6946: 1988, ensuring compatibility with standard channel systems. Versatility: Can be used to fix horizontal or vertical cable runs, attach channels to walls, or reinforce joints between channel sections.

Installation

Position the bracket at the desired mounting point on the wall or support beam. Align the cable channel with the bracket, ensuring a 90-degree fit if required. Secure with bolts (M10 or M12) through the pre-drilled holes.

Optional cable securing: Use cable ties or quick-installers to attach pigtail cables to the channel for additional stability.
