In order to ensure the greatest level of accessibility, the modular DEFENDER® 2DM cable protector was inspired by our popular DEFENDER® MIDI cable protector. The modular system comprises a MIDI-compatible middle section and a flat ramp, which can be expanded and combined as needed, both in terms of length and width. Plus, it's also extremely easy to handle.
'Accessibility' has become a topic of mounting concern for both public authorities and event organizers over the past few years. With most common cable protector systems, a compromise usually has to be made between wheelchair access and trafficability. But this is not the case with the new DEFENDER® 2D M: each middle section can be equipped with a 6° inclined, wheelchair ramp that can be driven over completely without any problems. The flat incline makes it easy for wheelchair users to roll over the protectors with no trouble at all. They're also so stable that even forklifts and trucks can drive over them.
The system length and width can be expanded, and thus guarantee easy access and safety to areas where five channels are typically not enough, for example, near power generators or FOH areas. Sound, lighting and mains cables can be laid out individually, effortlessly and safely. The middle sections are designed to be symmetrical all the way around to facilitate assembly so that you never have to look for the right attachment piece ever again. As such no assembly diagrams are required. The symmetrical set-up makes it possible to achieve excellent longitudinal and lateral stability by arranging middle sections and ramps. It also means there are no loose parts which can easily be lost such as adapters and spanners. The connections were engineered to provide enough room to play around for simple assembly but also to offer a sufficient level of stability. Adapters for joining middle sections longitudinally are also available should the cable protectors need be installed without ramps.
