Cable pulling sock tip electro base ROD-Gx3L-5-10mm 3 loops Ø5–10 mm length 450 mm

Cable pulling sock tip electro base ROD-Gx3L-5-10mm is a 450 mm long accessory designed for guiding and securing small-diameter cables and rods during installation. The textile or woven sock-like tip ends in three reinforced loops and fits over conductors with diameters from 5 to 10 mm, providing a compact, tapered profile for easy threading through conduits, ducts and tight passages.

Advantages

The three-loop design distributes pulling force evenly around the conductor to reduce slippage and local strain. A 450 mm length offers sufficient reach for most short conduit runs and makes it easier to feed the cable through bends and junctions. The sock tip’s flexible construction conforms to the shape of the cable while retaining secure grip, simplifying installations where precise handling is required. Materials are selected for abrasion resistance and smooth passage through common ducting.

Suitable for

• Pulling small-diameter electrical cables through conduits and raceways
• Guiding rods or tracer wires in confined or curved ducts
• Temporary attachment for tensioning or positioning cables during installation
• Use in residential, commercial and light-industrial electrical installations

Key specifications

• Overall length: 450 mm
• Gripping diameter range: 5–10 mm
• Number of loops: 3
• Construction: flexible woven sock with reinforced loop ends
• Designed for use in conduits, ducts and cable raceways

How to use

Slide the sock tip over the end of the cable or rod so the conductor seats fully inside the woven body and the three loops lie flat. Secure the loops to the pulling line or eye of a winch according to the pulling method in use, ensuring the load is centered to avoid side loading. Pull the assembly through the conduit at a steady pace, keeping tension controlled and avoiding sudden jerks. After the cable is in place, detach the sock tip by sliding it off or cutting it away if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the sock tip and loops before each use for signs of wear, fraying or damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe pulling practices: avoid excessive tension beyond the cable’s rated tensile capacity, lubricate long or tight pulls where applicable, and choose a pulling arrangement that minimizes sharp bends.
