Cable puller-feeder Cimco 140042 Black 10m 0.5kN 4mm

The Cimco 140042 cable puller-feeder is a 10 m long, 4 mm diameter tool designed to assist with pulling and guiding cables during electrical installations. Its compact, black construction and 0.5 kN breaking strain provide a balance of flexibility and tensile strength suitable for running low- to medium-weight cables through conduits, ducts, wall cavities and ceilings. The tool is intended for use by electricians and installers who need a straightforward, lightweight solution for feeding cable over short to moderate distances.

Advantages

The cable puller-feeder combines a slim 4 mm rod with a 10 m length to reach confined routes while maintaining manageable stiffness for directional control. The 0.5 kN rated breaking strain ensures safe handling of common electrical cables without excessive bulk. Its black finish resists visible dirt, helping to maintain a professional appearance during repeated use. The tool's simple, single-piece design enables quick deployment and reduces the need for additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Pulling and guiding single-core and multicore electrical cables through conduits and trunking
• Routing cables in residential and light commercial installations
• Working in ceiling voids, wall cavities and service ducts
• Short-distance cable runs where a lightweight, flexible feeder is preferred

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Rod diameter: 4 mm
• Breaking strain (tensile capacity): 0.5 kN
• Color/finish: black
• Construction: single flexible rod suitable for manual feeding

How to use

Feed the 4 mm rod through the conduit or cavity until the tip emerges at the destination point. Attach the cable to the rod end using an appropriate connector or tape ensuring a smooth, streamlined join that will pass through bends. Pull the rod back while guiding the cable at the exit to avoid snags; maintain steady, controlled tension within the 0.5 kN limit to prevent overloading the feeder. For longer or more complex routes, use a second person to guide the cable and monitor progress.

Recommendations

Inspect the feeder before each use for visible damage or excessive wear. Do not exceed the 0.5 kN breaking strain. Use protective gloves when handling to prevent cuts or abrasions, and secure cable attachments to avoid abrupt detachment. Store the rod coiled in a dry place away from extreme heat and chemical exposure to preserve flexibility and strength.
