What is Cableboss?

Cableboss helps electricians’ position and fix cables in between ceiling and wall voids. The two-part system consists of a pre-formed and mobile app. The bracket allows electricians to fix and position cables in ceiling and wall voids.  The second part of the system is a dedicated mobile app which provide a simple way for electricians to log and record cable locations and any other notes that may be relevant to a particular job.

What’s the purpose of Cableboss?

Cableboss provides a simple way to Fix, Record and Recover the cables in walls and ceilings. Currently cables simply hang between ceilings spaces and cannot be easily fixed in exact locations, so the opportunity for cables to be moved is high. Recovering cables which are just out of reach can result in secondary access holes being cut wasting time and money for the electrician in addition the repair works required. 

Cableboss secures the cable to a specific location and the app records that information so cables can be easily retrieved at second fix, meaning that electrical installs should be carried in two visits and not three.

Can Cableboss help me save money?

More often than not, first and second fix electrics is carried out in three visits:

1. Visit 1 - Fix cables and leave them roughly positioned – crossing your fingers they don’t get moved.
2. Visit 2 - Return to cut holes in plasterboard and pull cables through ahead of plastering.
3. Visit 3 - Return to connect lights.

With Cableboss, the cables cannot be accidentally moved and their location is recorded thanks to the mobile app, meaning that you can complete installation in two visits, safe in the knowledge that the cable stays exactly where you left it.

Why does Cableboss flex?

The bracket is purposely flexible to allow for vertical movement. If the bracket was too rigid, and didn’t flex upwards, the cable tail could get in the way of fitting the pasterboard. The bracket does not move horizontally which ensures the cable stays in its location and can be retrieved once the access hole is drilled.

Can I use the Cableboss bracket again?

No, the bracket will remain in the ceiling and/or wall space
