What is cable mounting?
Cable mounts, also known as Primary Support Modules (Instrument Supports), utilize adjustable, high-strength cables to clamp instrument assemblies to process lines 3″ through 36″ in diameter. These Primary Modules can be used independently or together with Secondary Modules to construct a universal support package for any instrument in any position.
