18″ Lighting Safety Cable

Description

Product Description

The 1/8″ Stage Lighting Safety Cable with Carabiner is designed to provide an additional level of security when installing and suspending stage lighting fixtures, speakers, displays, and other overhead equipment. The cable acts as a secondary safety connection, helping retain equipment in the event that the primary mounting point, bracket, clamp, or attachment system becomes loose or fails.

Made from durable steel wire rope, the 1/8″ safety cable offers a flexible and easy-to-handle solution for entertainment, theatrical, event, and production environments. The cable can be routed around a suitable structural support and connected back to the equipment using the included carabiner, creating a convenient secondary retention point.

The included carabiner provides quick and easy attachment, making the safety cable practical for installations where equipment needs to be mounted, removed, or repositioned regularly. Its compact design helps minimize interference with lighting fixtures and other stage equipment.

This safety cable is particularly useful in environments where equipment is installed overhead and where an additional retention system is required to help protect people, equipment, and property below.

Installation & Safety Guidelines

1. Inspect the cable and carabiner before each use. Do not use the product if the wire rope is kinked, frayed, crushed, corroded, or otherwise damaged.
2. Attach the safety cable to a suitable structural support or approved attachment point capable of supporting the equipment.
3. Route the cable around the appropriate part of the fixture or through the manufacturer’s designated safety attachment point.
4. Secure the carabiner to the appropriate connection point and ensure it is fully closed and properly engaged.
5. Keep the safety cable as short as practical while allowing enough length for proper installation and movement required by the equipment.
6. Ensure the safety cable does not interfere with electrical connections, moving components, ventilation openings, or other equipment.
7. Verify that the cable and carabiner have a suitable rated capacity for the equipment and application.
8. Follow the lighting fixture manufacturer’s installation instructions and all applicable local safety requirements.

Important Safety Note

This product is intended as a secondary safety/retention device and should not be used as a substitute for the primary mounting system. The primary clamp, bracket, mounting hardware, or suspension system must be properly installed and rated for the equipment being supported.

Do not use a standard stage lighting safety cable or general-purpose carabiner for lifting people, fall protection, or other life-safety applications unless the complete assembly is specifically rated, tested, and certified for that purpose. Never exceed the manufacturer’s stated Working Load Limit (WLL) or rated capacity.
