Installed around the world in stadiums, nuclear power plants, shopping malls, terminals, metal plants and more, the Wibe cable ladder system by Schneider Electric is part of one of the most comprehensive cable support solutions on the market.
Wibe cable ladders offer excellent qualities for the routing of cables in light, medium and heavy-duty applications, as they can be mounted in any direction or angle, delivering the cables safely and efficiently through the building. There are five available finishes: pre-galvanised, hot-dip galvanised, Zinkpox, thermo-plastic coating and AISI316L stainless steel. According to the finish chosen, it is suitable from non-aggressive indoor environments, such as offices, stores, IT-centres and more, to demanding applications such as windmills and food industries, and harsh outdoor environments including oil and gas, chemicals and offshore platforms.
The standard ladders all have the unique Wibe hexagon-shaped side-profile and are available in a variety of widths: 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800 and 1000 mm. Part of the range is available with two different types of rungs, round or profile-shaped. All hot-dip galvanised and stainless steel ladders are supplied in six metre lengths and pre-galvanised ladders in four or six metre lengths. The Wibe cable ladders are compliant with international quality standards such as IEC 61537 and E90 according to DIN 4102-12 for fire resistance.
