Hubbell Wiring Device-kellems FT3Y5 Floor Cable Cover

Product Description

The HUBBELL WIRING DEVICE-KELLEMS FT3Y5 is a single-channel floor cable cover designed to protect and conceal low-voltage or data cables routed across floor surfaces. Constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC), it provides durable protection in high-traffic areas while reducing trip hazards caused by exposed cables. The cover measures 5 feet in overall length and 3 inches in overall width, with a maximum compatible cable diameter of 1/2 inch. The high-visibility yellow color makes it suitable for safety-conscious work environments. Electricians, AV installers, and facility maintenance crews commonly deploy this type of cover for temporary or semi-permanent cable management applications.

This floor cable cover is suited for light commercial and residential installations where a single cable or cord must cross a walkway, doorway, or open floor area. Typical applications include convention spaces, classrooms, retail environments, and job sites requiring OSHA-compliant cord management. The single-channel design accepts cables up to 1/2 inch in diameter, and the 3/4-inch channel width provides a secure fit without pinching. At 5 feet per section, multiple units can be joined end-to-end to span longer runs.

Key Features

• Single-channel PVC construction handles cables up to 1/2 inch in diameter
• 5-foot overall length per unit with 3-inch overall width for stable floor contact
• High-visibility yellow color supports hazard identification in active work areas
• Channel width of 3/4 inch and channel height of approximately 0.5 inches provide a secure cable seat
• Lightweight PVC material at 2.5 pounds per unit for easy repositioning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-channel floor cable cover compatible with cables and cords up to 1/2 inch in diameter; intended for surface-mount, non-penetrating cable management on finished floor surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require licensed trade credentials but is commonly handled by electricians or low-voltage technicians when part of a larger wiring project. Before routing any energized cord through the cover, ensure the circuit is de-energized and all applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) guidelines for cord management are observed. The cover should be placed flat on a clean, dry surface; avoid installation over uneven flooring that could cause rocking or a tripping edge. Do not exceed the rated maximum cable diameter, as forcing an oversized cable can deform the channel and compromise the cover's protective function.
