In this post, you’re going to learn exactly how these cable strain relief solutions protect your assets and extend cable lifespan.
We’ll cover everything from stainless steel wire mesh grips for harsh environments to high tensile strength mesh grips for vertical runs.
So if you want to ensure safety and durability in your next project, this guide is for you.
Let’s dive in.
Understanding Wire Mesh Grips and Their Mechanism
Dealing with cable failure is a nightmare for any project manager. When power cables are subjected to constant tension, vibration, or gravity, the connection points are usually the first to fail. At XLUIG, we engineer our XLUIG Wire Mesh Grips to solve this exact problem by fundamentally changing how cables are secured.
How Woven Mesh Designs Tighten Under Tension
The genius of our cable strain relief solutions lies in the physics of the weave. We utilize a design often compared to a “Chinese finger trap.” Here is how it works in the field:
- Tension Conversion: As longitudinal tension is applied to the cable, the wire mesh elongates.
- Compressive Grip: This elongation causes the mesh diameter to contract, tightening firmly around the cable’s outer jacket.
- Even Distribution: Unlike a single point of pressure, the gripping force is spread evenly across the entire length of the mesh.
This mechanism ensures that the harder you pull, the tighter we grip. It allows our power cable support grips to hold heavy loads without slipping, all while protecting the structural integrity of the cable inside.
Mesh Grips vs. Traditional Clamps
We often get asked why industrial cable management grips are superior to standard plastic glands or rigid metal clamps. The difference comes down to conductor protection and longevity.
- No Pinch Points: Traditional clamps apply crushing force at a single point, which can damage insulation and crush internal conductors. Our mesh eliminates these stress concentrations.
- Vibration Resistance: Screws on rigid clamps can loosen over time due to system vibration. Our woven design naturally dampens vibration and maintains a secure hold without constant maintenance.
- Flexibility: Rigid fixtures create a hard pivot point where cables often snap. XLUIG Wire Mesh Grips provide a flexible transition, reducing the bend radius strain at the connection point.
By choosing a woven solution, you aren’t just holding a cable in place; you are extending the lifespan of your entire power system.

Cable Compatibility
Our grips are versatile and designed to fit a wide spectrum of cable diameters. The mesh acts like a cage, contracting firmly around the cable as tension is applied. This ensures that even under significant load, the stress is distributed evenly, preventing damage to the insulation or the internal conductors.
Primary Applications in Power Systems
In the energy sector, equipment failure is not an option. We engineer XLUIG Wire Mesh Grips to handle the rigorous demands of modern power infrastructure, ensuring stability from generation to distribution. Our solutions are designed to secure critical connections and facilitate safe installation in challenging environments.
We support engineers and contractors across several key areas:
- Substation Terminations: Proper strain relief in substations is vital for protecting switchgear and transformers. Our grips absorb tension at the connection point, preventing cable pull-out and ensuring consistent power distribution strain relief.
- Underground Distribution: For navigating complex duct banks, our cable pulling socks power systems provide the necessary hold to pull heavy conductors through conduits without damaging insulation. Our MGS single-stranded double-sided cable grips are particularly effective for these demanding pulling operations.
- Vertical & Overhead Support: We provide robust vertical cable run support for transmission lines and risers. This prevents the weight of the cable from crushing its own insulation over long drops.
- Renewable Energy: In wind and solar farms, cables face constant vibration and environmental stress. Our MGT cable grip configurations lock cables in place, mitigating fatigue in high-vibration tower settings.
Whether you need wire pulling grips for utilities or permanent support for industrial feeds, our mesh designs deliver the reliability required for continuous power delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions About XLUIG Wire Mesh Grips
We understand that selecting the correct cable management hardware is critical for system integrity. Here are the direct answers to the most common technical inquiries regarding our XLUIG Wire Mesh Grips and their application in power systems.
What is the difference between single weave and double weave grips?
The difference lies in tensile strength and flexibility. Single weave grips are designed for light to medium-duty applications where the cable needs moderate support and greater flexibility. In contrast, double weave wire mesh grips utilize a denser mesh pattern, providing significantly higher breaking strength and durability. We recommend double weave models for heavy power cables or long vertical runs where the grip must withstand substantial weight and tension without slipping.
Can XLUIG grips be used in corrosive saltwater environments?
Absolutely. For offshore rigs, marine applications, or coastal power facilities, we manufacture corrosion-resistant cable grips using high-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel. Standard galvanized steel is suitable for general indoor use, but our stainless steel options provide the necessary resistance against salt spray, chemicals, and extreme weathering to prevent structural failure in harsh conditions.
How do I select the right size grip for my cable diameter?
Proper sizing is non-negotiable for safety. You must measure the exact outside diameter (OD) of your cable. Our grips are engineered with specific working ranges (e.g., 0.50″–0.62″). The grip acts like a “finger trap”—it needs to fit snugly to tighten effectively under tension. If the grip is too loose, it will slip; if it is too small, it won’t slide over the cable insulation. Once the cable is properly secured and pulled, technicians can safely proceed with terminations using components like an 8 AWG long barrel lug for final connections.
Are these grips reusable for temporary cable pulling?
Pulling grips are generally reusable, provided they are inspected thoroughly between jobs. You must check the mesh for any broken wires, distortion, or abrasion. If the mesh structure is compromised, the tensile strength is reduced, creating a safety hazard. However, support grips and strain relief grips are typically intended for permanent installation to secure the cable for its operational lifespan.
