Teck, Vertical Riser Teck, & AIRGUARD® Cables

Teck, Vertical Riser Teck, and AIRGUARD® address distinct installation needs for industrial and vertical‑riser installations. Each product targets specific installation needs: Teck for general industrial feeders, Vertical Riser Teck for continuous vertical runs, and AIRGUARD® to deliver high crush resistance and corrosion protection on long runs.

Understanding the differences in application can help ensure the right cable is selected for the job.
