Ensure the safety of your crowd by using Admirals certified safety cables! Are you hanging fixtures, luminaires, moving heads, speakers or other staging equipment above a crowd of people? Then you need to use an independent, secondary safety-device according to BGV-C1 and VGB regulations. Our safety cables are BGV-C1 certified and can be used single or double stranded to carry and secure their load.

Did you know that safety cables with carabiner-hooks can’t be certified because the carabiner-hook has a chance of breaking or opening when equipment falls? Admirals safety cables are all wire rope constructions, pressed with standard aluminium ferrules and on both end fitted with a thimble. The special safety quicklink to secure the safety cable is certified, which makes these Admiral safety cables a musthave safety-device!

Admiral safety cables should be mounted in a loop and be as short as possible so that, if the load falls, the safety cable is in the best position to absorb the weight. When mounting static equipment the maximum drop height, in case the equipment falls, should not be more than 20 cm. Please note that the maximum drop height when using moving equipment is a lot less, only 5 cm. Always have these safety regulations in mind when mounting your staging equipment.

Whether you use them to secure the barndoors on your fixtures or quickly want to adjust the height of a microphone, our Light-duty cable RIVKAL60 is just what you need. This 60 cm long, black cable has a carabiner-hook with extra locking that gives the hook extra strength, needed when items do fall.

These lightweight cables can’t be used as an independent, secondary safety-device according to BGV-C1 and VGB regulations but are brilliant to use for fixture accessories and other lightweight items. Are you in need of a secondary safety-device to secure your fixtures or other staging equipment? Then we recommend to use our certified safety cables RIVKAN36 and RIVKAN36B (the black version).

Safety Cables

As soon as you hang a Parcan, speaker, moving head, mirror ball, bracket, projector, flat screen, or anything else above an audience, you're practically obligated to use a safety. A safety is an EXTRA metal cable that doesn't carry any weight but is there to prevent a device from falling should it become detached from its primary mount. They come in all shapes and sizes.

The Saveking series is a new and innovative series of safety cables that comply with the latest EC-RL2006/42/EC regulation, as well as BGV-C1. A unique feature of this series is its built-in braking system that absorbs the initial shock of a device falling from its mounting. This braking allows the overall diameter of the steel wire to be smaller than with traditional safeties, resulting in lighter weight and lower costs. In addition, there is a clear indicator of the safety cable's status: if the seal is broken, you must replace the safety.
