Capping Steel No.8B – 100mm Max Cable Diameter – 1200mm Length
The Capping Steel No.8B is a heavy-duty cable protection solution designed for use with large-diameter telecom and utility cables up to 100mm. At 1200mm in length, this steel capping is ideal for installations where shorter, more manageable sections are preferred – such as wall-mounted routes, pole risers, or tight duct exits.
Manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel, the No.8B capping delivers excellent resistance to mechanical impact and environmental exposure. Fully compliant with BT Openreach specification Ref: 01627, it provides a reliable solution for safeguarding fibre, copper, and power cables in open-air and underground environments.
