Cut Install Time 50% Claims Magdaddy

When we tested these at ISC, we could not pry the bridle ring off the I beam by yanking down no matter how hard we pulled.

Using a painters pole?

These magnets appear to have 80lbs holding force.

I've fooled around with magnets like this in the past. Their direct pull strength is good, but you can 'slide' them sideways if you pull hard enough. I could see (a very rare situation) where a cable might get caught in a ring as you were pulling it and the magnet could slide and (in theory) slide all the way off the beam. Highly unlikely, but not impossible. I still think it's a awesome, super simple idea.

Can strong, but static (non-varying), magnetic fields affect ethernet transmission?

I don't think so, but a TDR test would be interesting...

Eddie's comment is only true if the lightning strike hits the I beam directly. And since we have been in business for a little over six years, we have never had this complaint. What we do have is a product that will save considerable time in labor.

We all know it is hard it is to put more in the material costs when doing an estimate. It's black and white right in front of you. What is also there is this massive gray area that is LABOR. We sell in packs or cartons of 10 so it's not a huge expenditure to try them. We have many happy customers who are amazed at the labor savings they receive.

As mentioned previously most of our magnetic fasteners are UL listed and Plenum rated.

Someone mentioned concerns about temperature and what happens. Neodymium magnets have different ratings so I'm not saying they were wrong. They are incorrect when it comes to ours. Our operation temperatures are at -40 degrees to 176 degrees.

Now, they do not lose all of the pull strength at those temps they will gradually lose more as the temps rise or fall. The melting point of our magnets is 560 degrees.

As with any business methods change, and in ours they change almost daily. We feel like our product is one you can use with confidence. We back all of our products 100%.

We have heard that in strong union areas. It is a small area but Manhattan is one of them. Strong union I assume. Not sure.

It makes no sense to impede progress. Did you show him a sample? No should always be backed up with reason. Did they tell you why? If there is a reason perhaps we can overcome the resistance to using our products. Did you tell them they were UL listed and Plenum rated? Why would 99% of the country use and approve Mag Daddy for installations. No from one individual is not how the rest of the industry views our products. If he wants a sample to test I would be happy to furnish it to him.

Give me an address to send to.

I used these magdaddy bridle rings recently on a job, it was great for initially running the wires in a huge warehouse, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving it without something more permanent so I installed clamps on the iBeams. But they're great for initially running the wires. They're also very expensive when comparing to iBeam clamps.

Ironically enough, our cable rep just brought by a demo of these items. They have about 20 skus of various different products.

Their key item, the wire loop, is VERY strong. I even tried rolling it to the side as I mentioned in a previous post and found that extremely difficult to do. So, that's a good thing. Neat idea, I can see it as a time saver in the right circumstance
