Get it Straight: A Pro's Guide to Catenary Wire Systems

When you need to run cables across a large, open space like a warehouse, workshop, or commercial ceiling, letting them sag looks unprofessional and can be a safety hazard. The professional solution is a catenary wire system—a strong, tensioned wire that acts like a suspension bridge, providing a neat, secure, and compliant pathway for your data runs, lighting grids, and other services.

At SCHNAP, our range of catenary products provides everything you need to create a rock-solid suspension system that is fast to install and built to last in tough Aussie conditions.

The Core Components of a Traditional Catenary System

Building a heavy-duty catenary run is straightforward with the right parts. We stock all the essentials:

• Galvanised Wire Rope: The high-tensile steel backbone of your system, galvanised for long-life corrosion resistance.
• Wire Rope Grips & Thimbles: Used to create strong, secure termination loops at each end of your wire run without kinking or damaging the cable.
• Heavy-Duty Turnbuckles: The key to a perfect installation. A turnbuckle is a threaded device that allows you to easily and safely apply the correct tension to the wire, ensuring a dead-straight, sag-free run every time.

The Modern Time-Saver: Adjustable Suspension Kits

For fast-paced fit-outs, modern suspension systems can dramatically speed up your workflow.

• CADDY Speed Link Kits: These innovative, adjustable kits are a popular, all-in-one alternative to traditional components. They allow for rapid, tool-free height and tension adjustments, saving you a huge amount of time on site.

Attaching Your Services

Once your catenary wire is tensioned and secure, we have all the cable brackets, hangers, and clips you need to easily attach your electrical conduits, data cables, or lighting fixtures to the line.
