Product description

  • Cableboss CB15-04 is a pre-formed metal bracket that enables the easy positioning and running of multiple cables in ceiling voids and walls.
  • CB15-04  can be fixed vertically or horizontally to any substrate. The four cable aperture provides simple and consistent cable separation, while delivering an effective containment system.
  • Use the pre drilled 6mm holes to fix with screws or simply nail gun it in!
  • When running cables simple fix bracket to substrate, ‘drop-in’ or ‘pull-in’ the cables utilising the unique cable gate design. Once the aperture is full, pull down the ‘cable gate’ to retain the cables within the aperture.
  • Fire tested to meet 120min duration to BSEN50200 standards – INSERT Picture ICON
  • Load tested achieving  18kg SWL per aperture based on 3:1 ratio*

How to install CB15-04

  1. Fix by screwing or nailing (fixings not provided)
  2. Pull cable in or load them via “cable gates”

 

CB15-04 can be used in a wide variety of commercial applications for running and positioning cables, such as apartments, hotels, shops, offices and factories.

What the purpose of CB15-04?

Cableboss metal containment brackets or “metal clips” are designed for commercial buildings where the IET 18th Edition Wiring Regulations require all cables to be fixed with metal fixings, as plastic is no longer acceptable.

Is CB15-04 Fire Tested?

The IET 18th Edition states that the only method used for fixing wiring in entry and exit routes should be “suitable metal fixings’  because metal has a much higher melting point than plastic and metal will therefore guard again premature collapse.

 

CB15-04 has extensively tested all of its metal containment brackets to ensure that meet the very highest standard. All brackets meet 120min duration to BSEN50200 standards

Is CB15-04 load tested?

Yes – CB15-04 has been tested and achieves 18kg SWL per aperture based on 3:1 ratio*

 

*Load test results reflect self certified laboratory conditions and do not guarantee field performance.

What size cables can the brackets take?

15mm cable gate slot  - 25mm h x 40mm cable aperture

Can I fix the brackets with a nail gun and screws?

Yes, all brackets are designed to work with your preferred nail gun (such as the Pulsa Spit 27E). Cableboss containment brackets feature two fixing areas on the fixing tabs. A pre drilled 6mm hole designed for screws. Also, a space on each tab allows for nailing directly through the tab and securing the substrate behind.

Can Cableboss CB15-04 be fitted in multiple ways?

CB15-04 can be fitted horizontally and vertically to a ceiling or wall. Depending on the purpose and the depth of the void will determine that ideal position for your purpose.

What are the Cable Gates for on CB15-04?

We know that pulling cables can sometime be the quickest method of installing in long runs, however we also know that some cables just don’t want to be pulled and can snag and snatch.


CB15-04 features a ‘cable gate slot’ and open ‘cable gate’. This means that you can easily pull multiple cables into the aperture, but additionally it’s possible “place” cables via the cable gate slot into the aperture. Once the cables are installed, simple pull down the “cable gate” to secure the cables in the aperture. The Cableboss “cable slot and gate” will dramatically speed up install when using multiple brackets on a long run.

Why are  CB15-01 and CB15-02 / 04 different sizes?

CB15 -01 is designed to be used for fitting and positioning single cables where space is limited. Fixed vertically it will project 90mm from the substrate or horizontally 35mm. Great for installing FP200 cables.


CB15-02 / CB15–04 is designed for fitting multiple cables and provides easy cable separation. At 315mm (12.5 inches) long it will fit vertically in most apartment or office ceiling voids. If space is limited CB15-04 can be fixed horizontally.

Can you use Cableboss metal bracket as “approved” 

containment?

CB15-04 is designed to provide a simple and effective solution for cable containment. This product supports routed cables and aims to dramatically speed up cable containment install, compared to other containment systems. All Cableboss metal cable support brackets are fire tested to 120mins and approved by electrical specifiers.

Can I use the Cableboss CB15-04 bracket again?

Yes, providing the brackets are accessible. For example if,  CB15-04 was used for site set-up to temporary fix cables around walls, providing screws were used, it would certainly be possible to unscrew, remove and use again.

About Cableboss

This all started a few years ago.

 

We run a building company in Bristol, UK, and noticed how much time was being lost during electrical installations on our sites. First and second fix electrics should have taken two visits—but more often than not, electricians needed a third. Why? Because cables were being moved, lost, or buried behind plasterboard, leading to extra labour, unnecessary access holes, and additional costs.

 

Typically, electricians returned after plasterboarding to cut downlighter holes and pull through their cables—hoping nothing had shifted. But if cables had moved, they’d drill, search, and repair—all before plastering. It was inefficient and costly.

We kept hearing the same frustrations:

 

From the building team:
“Why can’t the electrician just cut the holes where the cables are supposed to be?”
“Another access hole? Again?”

 

From the insulation and plasterboarding crew:
“There’s no way to know if the cables were meant to be left in place or pulled through.”
“How was I supposed to know that cable needed to be 600mm off the wall?”

 

From electricians:
“Who’s moved my cable?”
“Now I need to drill a hole to find it—again.”
“I lost the photo of where that smoke detector cable was. I accidentally deleted it while clearing out my phone!”

 

Surely, there had to be a better approach to cable support and management—a way to keep cables fixed in position and make their locations easy to record and recover?

There wasn’t. Everyone just accepted the inefficiency and repeated visits. Until now.

 

In 2020, we set out to change the game. Over two years of development, countless prototypes, and even app concepts, we created the Cableboss system: a simple, robust solution for cable support and management that keeps cables fixed in place and provides a way to accurately record their location.

 

The result?
A tool that dramatically reduces wasted time, missed cables, and unnecessary visits. Combined with the Cableboss mobile app, our system is the new standard in cable support and management.

 

Feedback from electricians and wholesalers has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s simple. It’s cost-effective. And it works.

 

Try it for yourself— Cableboss is the future of cable support and management.
