Collection: Linebacker® Cable Protectors

Linebacker® cable protectors are Checkers Safety's split-top cable ramp series — the lid hinges open so you can drop cables in from above instead of threading them through end-to-end. Massive time saver when installing thick cables or when you need to swap cables frequently. This page shows every Linebacker® cable protector PSE stocks — 1, 3, and 5-channel models fitting cables from 1.25 to 2.25 in. diameter, plus 45° and 90° turns for corner runs. Vehicle-traffic rated. Perfect for utility crews, event production, film sets, and any application with frequent cable changes. Ships direct from Checkers Safety. Call (888) 714-1410 for utility fleet pricing.

When to pick Linebacker over Yellow Jacket

Same vehicle-traffic rating. Different cable install workflow:

• Pick Linebacker when you change cables often — event production, film sets, temporary utility installs, tradeshow rentals.
• Pick Yellow Jacket when the run is semi-permanent and threading cables end-to-end once is fine — construction sites, pipelines, warehouses.

FAQ

What is a split-top cable protector and why does it matter?
Instead of threading cables through the ramp end-to-end, a split-top has a hinged lid that opens from above — you lay the cables in the channels, close the lid, and you're done. Saves hours on long cable runs and lets you swap cables in seconds. Linebacker is the industry-standard split-top design.

Can Linebacker cable protectors handle vehicle traffic?
Yes — Linebacker is rated for vehicle traffic including forklifts, delivery trucks, and semis. Same duty rating as Yellow Jacket AMS. The split-top design does not compromise load capacity.

What is the difference between CP1X125 and CP1X225?
Both are 1-channel Linebackers. CP1X125 fits cables up to 1.25 in. diameter. CP1X225 fits cables up to 2.25 in. — bigger, heavier, for larger main power feeds and pump hoses.

Do Linebacker cable protectors have 45° and 90° turn pieces?
Yes — both left and right turn versions in each channel count. Match your run's corner direction and channel count. Turn pieces snap into standard Linebacker sections via the same interlock system.

Are Linebacker cable protectors ADA-compliant?
No. Linebacker is designed for vehicle traffic and creates a trip hazard for wheelchairs and walkers. For ADA pedestrian crossings use Guard Dog®.

Do you offer bulk pricing for utility crews and event production?
Yes — bulk pricing on 20+ unit orders. Very common for utility drilling, pipeline crews, event production, and film set rentals. Call (888) 714-1410 for a quote.
