Cable pulling sock electro base ROD-Gx2L-5-10mm Ø5–10 mm, length 450 mm

Cable pulling sock electro base ROD-Gx2L-5-10mm Ø5–10 mm, length 450 mm is a woven grip designed to pull cables with outer diameters between 5 and 10 mm. The 450 mm length and braided construction allow the sock to compress around the cable jacket, creating a secure attachment point for drawing cable through conduits, ducts or confined pathways. The product is intended for use in electrical installation, maintenance and cable routing tasks where controlled load distribution and jacket protection are required.

Advantages

The woven design provides uniform compression and distributes pulling forces along the cable length to reduce point stress. Its compatibility with cables 5–10 mm in diameter makes it suitable for a range of small to medium electrical and communication cables. The 450 mm active length offers adequate overlap for secure seating on the cable while allowing access for a pulling eye or connection. Using a dedicated pulling sock helps minimise damage to the cable jacket and facilitates smoother feeding through bends and constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Pulling single-core and multi-core electrical cables with diameters of 5–10 mm
• Feeding communication or control cables through conduits and ducts
• Installation and maintenance tasks in tight or curved cable routes
• Temporary anchoring during cable routing and positioning

Key specifications

• Cable diameter range: 5–10 mm
• Overall length (braided section): 450 mm
• Construction: woven/knitted mesh cable grip
• Function: compressive grip for pulling; distributes tensile load along cable

How to use

Slide the woven sock over the cable end until the braid covers the intended pulling length, ensuring the cable jacket is fully enclosed within the grip. Secure the free end of the sock by tying or using the provided eye or attachment point, then connect a suitable pulling line or swivel to the attachment. Apply steady pulling force, avoiding abrupt jerks, so the sock tightens evenly and the load is distributed along the cable. After the cable is in place, loosen and remove the sock from the cable end.

Usage recommendations

Check that the cable outer diameter is within the specified 5–10 mm range before use. Inspect the sock for wear or damage prior to each operation and replace it if frayed. Use appropriate pulling equipment and observe safe working loads for the pulling line and connectors to prevent overloading.
