A cable cover, also called a cable protector, is a type of guard used to protect electric cables from damage by pedestrians and vehicles passing over them.

As electronics continue to grow in popularity and necessity, electric cables are showing up more and more in urban landscapes and common areas, such as parking lots, warehouses, factories, sports fields, shopping malls, retail stores and offices. Unfortunately, these cables can be hazardous if they’re not properly protected against the foot traffic and vehicles that pass by them every day.

What causes tripping hazards with cables?

Even the most careful person can trip over an electrical cord that’s lying across a floor. That’s why cable protectors are so important. They help avoid tripping hazards by keeping cords secure and out of the way.

When electrical cords are not placed in cable protectors, cables that are not properly secured can create tripping hazards. This can be especially dangerous in public areas where customer safety is a top priority.

Benefits of Using Cord Covers

Cable protectors help avoid tripping hazards when electrical cords are in use. This is important for customer and employee safety, as well as reducing the risk of damage to your cords. In addition, cord covers can also help extend the life of your cords by protecting them from wear and tear. Costly repairs to cords and their attached machinery can be avoided by using cable covers.

Types of Cord Covers and Their Benefits

While there are many different types of cord covers available on the market, they all serve the same purpose: to keep cords safe and secure while in use.

The four main types of cord protectors are Rubber, PVC, Neoprene, and Canvas.

Rubber cable protectors come with a raised design that helps keep cords elevated off the ground for safety purposes. PVC is a more rigid material than rubber which is better for protecting sharp objects from puncturing through cables. Neoprene is a type of flexible material that provides greater protection from objects such as knives or nails that could puncture through cables if they came into contact with them. Canvas protects your cables by providing an extra layer between them and any objects that may cause damage such as staples or needles

All these materials provide unique benefits to suit your needs so be sure to choose one that best suits your need!

Where can you get cable covers?

Most hardware and home improvement stores sell cable covers. You can also find them online. Some companies that sell electrical supplies also sell cable covers.

If you need a specific type of cable cover, you may need to order it from a company that specializes in safety products. Safety specialists will have different types of covers for different types of cables and will be able to offer industrial versions of these products as well as ones suitable for domestic use.
