Single-Channel Cable Protection
The Checker Distributors RFD9-5 is a heavy-duty rubber cable protector designed for temporary indoor or outdoor cable routing. Its single channel accommodates cables up to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The unit suits event crews, maintenance teams and facility managers who need to prevent tripping hazards and protect wiring from foot traffic.
Split Design and Linkable Pins
The protector is supplied split, allowing cables to be laid in without threading. Linkable pins on each end let multiple five-foot sections join together for longer runs. This modular approach speeds up setup and teardown while keeping the channel aligned across the full length.
Load Capacity and Limitations
Each axle can support up to 440 lb, making the protector suitable for pedestrian areas and light wheeled equipment such as hand trucks. It is not rated for vehicle traffic, forklifts or heavy machinery. The product is not ADA compliant, so it does not meet accessibility requirements for public pathways.
