Igus 10-3-038-0 3' Fixed Open Cable Carrier 3 Ft

Product Description

The IGUS 10-3-038-0 3' is a fixed open cable and hose carrier manufactured from Igumid G, a glass-fiber-reinforced nylon compound engineered for demanding industrial cable management applications. This carrier measures 3 feet in overall length and is designed to guide, protect, and organize cables and hoses in continuous or articulating motion systems. The inside width is 1.5 inches and the inside height is 0.71 inches, providing a compact routing channel suited to light-duty automation and machine tool installations. The 1.5-inch bend radius allows tight routing in confined equipment envelopes. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and automation integrators typically specify and install this type of carrier.

This cable carrier is suited for use in industrial automation equipment, CNC machinery, packaging lines, and similar applications where cables or pneumatic hoses must be guided through repeated motion cycles. The fixed open design allows cables to be laid in from the top without disassembling the carrier, which simplifies initial routing and field service. With 23 link sections and a link-to-link pitch of 1.2 inches, this carrier delivers consistent articulation across its full 3-foot span. It is appropriate for both OEM machine builds and retrofit cable management upgrades in production environments.

Key Features

• Fixed open design allows top-loading of cables and hoses without full disassembly
• Igumid G construction provides lightweight, glass-fiber-reinforced durability
• 1.5-inch bend radius suits tight routing in compact machine enclosures
• 23 link sections with 1.2-inch pitch deliver smooth, consistent articulation
• Meets VDE 0304, IEC Class IIC, and UL 94 HB flammability standards
• Outside width of 1.93 inches and outside height of 0.91 inches for predictable envelope planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and retrofit cable carrier for industrial automation systems requiring a fixed open, light-duty cable and hose management solution with a 1.5-inch inside width channel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machine builders, automation technicians, or maintenance electricians. De-energize all associated equipment and relieve pneumatic pressure before routing cables or hoses through the carrier. Secure the fixed end bracket to the machine frame according to the equipment manufacturer's mounting guidelines and applicable NEC or local electrical code requirements. Avoid exceeding the rated bend radius during installation, as over-bending can stress cables and reduce service life.
