Cable Matting & Protection Covers
FAQs

Cable matting helps maintain safety, organisation, and compliance with workplace standards.
Cable matting for flexible mats or strips laid over cables, blending into flooring while providing a neat finish.
Floor cable protectors like heavier duty covers, often with dedicated channels, that provide extra protection against foot traffic, trolleys, or light vehicles.
Both serve to reduce trip hazards and extend the life of cables but are chosen based on the level of protection required.
Matting tapes are adhesive backed tapes designed to temporarily secure cables or cable matting to the floor. They are especially useful in events, exhibitions, and temporary office setups, where quick installation and removal are needed. Many are low residue to avoid damaging floors or leaving marks.
Consider:
- Traffic level, like light foot traffic may only need basic cable matting and heavy traffic requires durable protectors.
- Environment, either indoor vs outdoor use, carpeted vs hard floors.
- Cable volume, some protectors offer multiple channels for separating power and data cables.
- Installation type, choose matting tapes for temporary fixes, or heavy duty protectors for permanent/semi permanent setups.
