The OBO Bettermann SOM cable clamp type 3080 LGR is a fastening element made of polystyrene (PS) in light grey colour (RAL 7035), specifically designed for use in electrical and IT trades. It is used for the secure fastening of cables, conduits or other round components with a diameter between 6 and 17 mm. The clamp is equipped with plastic screws, ensuring high corrosion resistance and enabling use in damp or aggressive environments. The integrated elongated hole opening allows flexible mounting using wood screws or hammer drive anchors with a diameter of 5 mm, enabling the clamp to be attached to various substrates such as wood, plasterboard or concrete.

Applications

The clamp 3080 LGR is suitable for use in electrical installations, IT infrastructure, as well as in building and industrial technology. It is frequently used for guiding and securing cables, conduits or pipes, particularly in areas where high mechanical load capacity and corrosion resistance are required. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) ensures discreet integration into standardised installation systems.

Functions and equipment in detail

The clamp features a clear, form-stable construction made of polystyrene, ensuring secure and durable fastening. The plastic screws used for mounting the clamp are made from a corrosion-resistant material, ensuring long-term functionality even in damp or slightly aggressive environments. The elongated hole opening allows variable positioning of the fastening screw, which is advantageous during mounting on different substrates or when adapting to various installation conditions.

Technology explained simply

The use of polystyrene (PS) as the material ensures high form stability while maintaining low weight. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) is a standard in electrical and IT installations, ensuring visual harmony with other components. The plastic screws used for mounting the clamp are specifically developed for use in electrical and technical installations to prevent corrosion and material failure. The elongated hole opening enables flexible fastening, as the screw can be positioned within the elongated hole to optimally adapt the clamp to the substrate.

Compatibility and accessories

The clamp 3080 LGR is designed for cables and conduits with a diameter of 6 to 17 mm. It can be mounted using wood screws or hammer drive anchors with a diameter of 5 mm. The use of hammer drive anchors requires a suitable drilling device and a hammer drill to correctly insert the anchors into the substrate. The clamp is part of the SOM clamp series from OBO Bettermann, developed for a wide range of installation scenarios.

Installation and mounting

Mounting is carried out by placing the clamp in the desired position and securing it using the included plastic screws. Alternatively, the clamp can be mounted through the elongated hole using wood screws or hammer drive anchors (5 mm) on substrates such as wood, plasterboard or concrete. The screws must be tightened securely but not excessively to avoid material breakage or deformation of the clamp. Mounting requires no additional tools, except a screwdriver or drilling device when using hammer drive anchors.

A benefit in operation is the high corrosion resistance of the plastic screws, ensuring a long service life of the clamp even in damp environments. The flexible mounting via the elongated hole enables adaptable fastening on various substrates, increasing the range of applications. The clamp is easy to handle and requires no special tools for installation, making the installation process efficient.
