Rails/Tracks, Installation Accessories, and Cable Suspension Kits
The Rail/Track Tension Cable System features 1.5mm diameter suspension cable kits, equipped with spring tensioners and quick-fit toggles for straightforward attachment to the top and bottom channels. This system is ideal for standard ceiling-to-floor or wall-to-wall suspended setups. The inclusion of tracks adds versatility to your cable displays, facilitating easy changes and updates in a cost-effective manner. The kits come with 4-meter (13′ 1-1/2″) long cables, which can be customized or shortened on-site during installation. Should your project require it, we can also provide kits with extended cables or additional crimped cables up to 8 meters (26′ 4″) or more, upon request.

Note: Aluminum rails are offered in lengths of 4, 6, or 8 feet, with custom sizes available upon request. For installation, rail/track systems must be securely mounted to a solid structure or blocking. This includes attaching tracks to ceiling struts, structures above the ceiling line, or wall studs. The spacing for anchoring depends on the track’s sectional size, requiring anchors at least every 12 inches for ceiling installations and every 32 inches for wall applications. The overall durability and capacity of the assembly are contingent upon the secure attachment of the anchors to the ceiling or wall. The total weight the display can support is determined by both the strength of the individual anchors and the number of mounting points used.
Cable Suspension Kits for Rail/Track Assembly
Use the CQQ Quick-Fit Cable Kit for suspending displays between top-to-bottom, ceiling-to-floor, or wall-to-wall mounted rails/tracks. Supplied with two quick-fit toggles, a spring tensioner for easy inside-channel attachment, and 4 meter (13’-1-1/2”) long cables that can be adjusted and shortened in place during installation. Quick-fit toggles enables for quick repositioning or removal.
Use the CA4 or C101-4M Basic Cable Kits for suspending displays between top-to-bottom, ceiling-to-floor, or wall-to-wall mounted tracks. Supplied with top/bottom fixings and 4 meter (13’-1-1/2”) long cables that can be adjusted and shortened in place during installation. Use PA8 toggles to attach cables to channels. Basic cable sets are recommended for use with displays that do not require frequent updates.
Use the MSB-25 Wall Brackets and PA8 Toggles to mount the double-sided rails to wall. Position the MSB-25 brackets so it is covered by the rail. Aluminum rails/tracks are supplied in 48″, 60″, 72″, 84″, 96″ or custom lengths. Projection from wall — 25mm (1″) on channel center. Use 370 104 decorative end caps to finish the ends. Rails 72″ to 96″ lengths require at least four wall brackets for mounting.

Note: Rods are available in standard sizes such as 0.5m (1′ 7-11/16″), 1m (3′ 3-1/32″), and 1.5m (4′ 11-1/16″). Use threaded rods to create longer lengths — join two or more rods together to make any size. Once screwed together the rods look like a continuous rod. Cut the rod with a hack saw at the bottom to achieve the overall required length. Please note that end caps for 10mm diameter rods require threads to fit and you will not be able to use them if rods are cut to a custom sizes.
