Page 13: Special Applications
Splicing differs from normal cable hanging in that there is only one grip on each cable as opposed to the normal two grips. Because of this difference, the load rating is reduced, but maintains a safety factor of 5. See the table below for reduced working loads. nVent.com/CADDY... - Page 14 The infinite loop is the strongest configuration of Speed Link. Because the cable is doubly supporting the load, the working loads are substantially higher than the standard installation method, yet still maintaining a safety factor of 5. See the table above for allowable working loads. nVent.com/CADDY...

Safety Factor 1 Max Load 1 = Working Load 1 x Safety Factor 1 By attaching to structure with another nVent CADDY product, the height adjustment of the system is moved on the end of the rope that is closer to the load. -
Page 16: Visibility / Angle Schematic
It would be difficult for the installer to surpass 90° on the installation of Speed Link. Competitive devices have maximum allowable angles of 60° or even 39°. The installer could easily create a non-conforming installation and potential safety hazard if angle or distance measurements are not done carefully. nVent.com/CADDY... -
