ABUS Universal Cable Lockout 2 m (6 ft) | Adjustable Lockout Tagout Cable Device

Flexible Multi-Point Lockout Tagout Solution for Industrial Safety

The Universal Cable Lockout (2 m / 6 ft) is a versatile lockout tagout (LOTO) device designed to secure multiple energy isolation points using a single adjustable steel cable system. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and maintenance environments, this cable lockout allows workers to safely isolate valves, electrical disconnects, levers, and mechanical equipment that cannot be secured using standard lockout devices.

By looping the cable through multiple energy control points and tightening it with the locking body, the system prevents equipment from being operated until all authorised personnel remove their safety padlocks.

This makes it an essential solution for complex or multi-point lockout situations in Canadian workplaces.

What Is a Cable Lockout Used For?

A cable lockout is a universal lockout device used when standard valve or breaker lockouts are not suitable. The flexible cable can be routed through multiple points of control, allowing a single lockout device to secure an entire system.

Typical applications include:

• Electrical panels with multiple disconnect switches

• Side-by-side circuit breakers

• Large industrial valves

• Mechanical levers and access points

• Irregular or oversized equipment

It is a key tool for implementing CSA-aligned lockout tagout procedures in Canada.

Key Features

6 ft (2 m) Flexible Steel Cable

The coated steel cable provides a strong yet flexible solution for securing multiple isolation points across a wide range of equipment configurations.

Adjustable Cinch-Lock Mechanism

The integrated locking body allows the cable to be tightened securely, removing slack and preventing tampering or movement once locked.

Supports Group Lockout

Designed to accommodate up to 6 padlocks, enabling multiple workers or contractors to apply personal lockout control during maintenance operations.

Universal Application

One device can be used across many different energy sources, reducing the need for multiple specialized lockout devices.

Durable Industrial Construction

Built from high-strength, chemical-resistant materials designed for demanding industrial environments, including manufacturing, utilities, and plant maintenance operations.

Re-tightenable Design

The cable can be re-adjusted even after locking, ensuring a secure fit during extended maintenance procedures.

Why Use a Cable Lockout?

Cable lockouts are essential when dealing with equipment that cannot be isolated using a standard lockout device.

They help:

• Secure multiple energy sources at once

• Reduce lockout complexity

• Improve maintenance efficiency

• Prevent accidental energisation

• Support group maintenance work

• Increase workplace safety compliance

They are commonly used as a universal backup solution when dedicated lockout devices are not available.
