The maximum cable and/or hose diameter equals the inner height of the selected e-chains ® and
e-tubes plus minimum clearance. This minimum clearance is 10% for electrical round cables and

e-chain interior separation
®
Cables and hoses with very diff erent diameters
should be laid separately. Separators are used
for this. Cables and hoses must under no
circumstances have the opportunity to tangle.
Therefore, the clearance height of a
compartment with several similar cables or
hoses next to one another must not be more than
one and a half times the cable/hose diameter.
