FastDrop™ cable management system is a UL94V-0 rated flame retardant, impact resistant polycarbonate radius control module that can handle large bundle loads of cables. FastDrop can be installed both horizontally and vertically, and it can be mounted three ways: with sheet metal tabs, screws for affixing to racks or equipment, or zinc-plated carbon steel clips that quickly snap on any edge. Two FastDrop modules can be mounted facing each other to create a 180° return. It is also ideal for medical liquid and gas management systems and for other fields that employ a wide variety of cables and hoses. For example, FastDrop modules can prevent fluid-providing medical tubing from bending too tightly and cutting off liquid, vacuum or oxygen supplies, which can be crucial during complex surgical operations or at bedside in intensive care or recovery rooms. Three sizes are available in beige and black: 1 inches (2.5 cm), 1.75 inches (4.4 cm), and 3 inches (7.6 cm). Free samples of FastDrop are available upon request: (508) 229-2000 x13.
