The Cimco cable lubricant 142194 is a specially developed lubricant for use during cable installation in conduits and ducts. It is the Katimex® cable lubricant GLIT®, which features an improved formulation and provides significantly better lubricating properties. The product is used to reduce friction that occurs when inserting power cables, telephone cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. By applying Glit®, up to 90% of friction can be eliminated, greatly simplifying cable installation and reducing the risk of cable damage. The lubricant is also suitable for inserting pull tapes of all kinds, especially in combination with pulling heads such as Kati®Blitz and Kabelmax®. Application is done by simply applying the product to the pulling heads, making the cable pulling process more efficient and safer.

Cable lubricant is the central product type offered here. It serves as an aid in cable installation and is particularly used in the electrical and IT trades. The lubricating properties of the product are crucial for its functionality, as they minimize friction between cable and conduit. The formulation has been improved to achieve higher efficiency in lubrication. The product is silicone-free, meaning it contains no silicone-based ingredients that could cause problems in certain applications, such as in cable ducts where silicone may lead to adhesion or deposits. The skin-friendly formulation makes the product suitable for use by professionals without posing health risks from skin contact. Additionally, the lubricant is non-flammable, providing extra safety during work, especially in environments with increased fire risk.

Functions and equipment in detail
The cable lubricant 142194 is supplied in a tube with a capacity of 200 ml, equivalent to a weight of 0.2 kg. The tube is pumpable, meaning the product can be dispensed and applied in a controlled manner via a pump mechanism. This allows for precise dosing and prevents waste. Application is done directly onto the pulling heads, which are attached to the cables to facilitate their insertion into conduits. Using Glit® in combination with Kati®Blitz or Kabelmax® significantly reduces the required pulling force and minimizes cable stress. This is particularly important when installing sensitive cables such as fiber optic cables, where excessive pulling force can cause breaks or malfunctions.

Technology explained simply
The effect of the lubricant is based on a special formulation that forms a thin, even layer on the surface of the cable and inside the conduit. This layer reduces friction between the two surfaces, thereby decreasing resistance during pulling. The improved formulation ensures that the lubricating effect lasts longer and is evenly distributed. The product is non-volatile, meaning it does not evaporate quickly and maintains its effectiveness over an extended period. The pumpable tube enables clean and controlled application, preventing smearing or spillage. Skin compatibility is ensured by the ingredients used, which do not cause allergic reactions or skin irritation.

Compatibility and accessories
The cable lubricant 142194 is specifically designed for use with pulling heads such as Kati®Blitz and Kabelmax®. These pulling heads are attached to cables to facilitate their insertion into conduits. Combining Glit® with these pulling heads results in optimal lubrication and minimizes the required pulling force. The product is suitable for various cable types, including power cables, telephone cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. Its use is independent of cable thickness and length, as long as the conduit is adequately sized. However, it is important that the conduit is clean and free of contaminants to avoid impairing the lubricant's effectiveness.

Installation and mounting
Mounting of the lubricant involves simply applying it to the pulling heads attached to the cable. The tube should be held so that the contents are applied directly onto the surface of the pulling head. The amount should be chosen to create an even layer without overflow. After application, the pulling head is secured to the cable, and the cable can then be pulled into the conduit. The pumpable tube allows for precise dosing, ensuring efficient and clean application. It is recommended to clean the conduit before installation to ensure no contaminants interfere with the lubricant's performance.

Operational advantages
Using the Cimco cable lubricant 142194 offers several advantages in daily operations. Reducing friction by up to 90% significantly lowers the required pulling force, making work easier for professionals and minimizing the risk of cable damage. Skin compatibility and non-flammability enhance workplace safety. The pumpable tube ensures clean and controlled application, preventing waste. The improved formulation provides longer-lasting lubrication, increasing the efficiency of cable installation. The product is easy to handle and requires no special equipment or additional safety measures.
