Side Entry Wire Saddles
Side entry wire saddles are cable management clips designed to secure wires and small cables while allowing them to be inserted from the side rather than pushed down from above. The open side profile enables cables to be fed in laterally, making these saddles ideal for installations where wiring is already in place, where top access is restricted or where future maintenance and changes are anticipated.
What are side entry wire saddles?
Side entry wire saddles feature a smooth curved saddle body with an open side channel that supports the cable while holding it neatly against a panel, frame or enclosure. Once the saddle is fixed in place, cables can be slipped into position from the side, allowing quick installation, removal or repositioning without disturbing surrounding wiring.
They are typically mounted using screw fixings or push-fit mountings depending on the design. Once installed, the saddle helps to maintain organised cable routing while reducing strain, abrasion and unwanted movement.
Side entry wire saddles may also be referred to as side load wire saddles, lateral entry cable clips, open-sided cable saddles or side entry cable supports. These names are commonly used across electrical and industrial industries to describe wire saddles that accept cables from the side.
Typical applications
-
Widely used in electrical enclosures and control panels where cables often need to be added, removed or re-routed during installation and maintenance.
-
Commonly used within machinery and industrial equipment where wiring layouts may evolve over time.
-
Within domestic appliances and automotive applications, side entry wire saddles are used to retain wiring looms and internal cables neatly while allowing easier access for servicing or retrofitting.
-
Their design makes them particularly suitable for confined spaces where vertical access is limited.
