Bargain cable ramps for live production? Truck versus cable ramp! We're taking a look at the build of these affordable Amazon Vevor 2 channel cable ramps that seem perfect for protecting Behringer and Midas AES50 cables, FOH power cables, etc..
Cable ramps protect cables from damage from foot traffic, automobiles, golf carts, 4 wheels, baby carriages, hand trucks, and whatever else might be trying to get from one side of your cable run to the other side. As most know by now, protecting Behringer X32 and Midas M32 Ethercon/Ethernet cables from foot traffic is always important and that doesn't necessarily take a large and expensive 5 channel cable ramp to do that job. Let alone, 75' to 100' of them add up in weight and cost.
So that's something that makes these interesting. Large cable ramps are irreplaceable, when that is what is called for... but large cable ramps can sometimes be impractical and more than is needed.
Cable ramps-
Besides protecting cables, they can reduce trip hazards. Not just for front of house runs either. Bands and sound companies can use these onstage to help with cable management.

This week's video is a quick look at some affordable cable ramps that are currently on Amazon. This is not a sponsored video. I'm just sharing information here. When you look at cable ramps there are several types that are out there, all slightly different in one way or the other. And varying pricing too. AFAIK, of the 2 channel variety, these are also the least expensive (as of the publishing of this video)... So after picking up some for myself and checking them out closely, I decided to get more while they were still at the budget pricing. One of the things I wanted to show in the video are exactly how these are built and things like the connections between them. Like I said, there are several types of cable ramps of all sizes these days, and they are not all the same, even if at first glance they seem the same. Even from the same brands. If you want to be connecting them in runs of 50'... 75'... 100'... they need to match so that they interconnect. One by itself isn't going to matter, at least as far as interconnecting. But then you also want quality and ability to withstand the rigors of the job. I put these in my Amazon Store Front: www.amazon.com/shop/alanhamiltonaudio

I've been using these myself for 2 years now. Definitely worth it. Vehicles and foot traffic are no problem, although I've seen a powered mobility scooter get high-centered on one

Thanks Alan for all of your great content on sound engineering. I am a very very small operator, doing sound for my and friends bands and even getting paid every now and then! I am an analog guy but have been working with a band using a XR18 (absolutely love it!) and an old theater using a X32 Producer mixing for musicals. Your content has helped me greatly in these musical actives. I just ordered a set of these cable ramps for my 12x3 (yes very old!) 75' analog snake (normally connected to a Mackie CR1604 pre-VLZ). Using the snake always stressed me out using hacked (car floor mats, etc) method of dealing with doorways etc. I think these cable ramps will allow me to sleep better. I don't know how many very very small sound people follow your work here. I find your videos very educational and easy to scale down to my level. Thanks for all of your work!

Thanks! Yes, I think these cable ramps will be absolutely perfect for your analog snake. I'm glad the videos are helpful. I try and point out or at least imply how production equipment and concepts can scale from small to large setups.

Great content as always... I have a bunch of these. They are great... heavy and challenging to move around, yes, but great at their intended purpose. Your content of late has been insightful, so to speak, for a small operator like myself. Seeing someone who does significantly larger jobs and shows than we do using some of the same gear we do, making some of the same choices we have, reassures me we are on the right track. Thanks. I know it's a lot of work, (KZfaq) but keep putting out the content. We enjoy it.

I have a case for the 5 channel Yellowjackets, but nothing dedicated to these yet. I'm pretty sure I've got all the cases that these would fit in already in use for something else so looks like it's time to build or buy a new 48x24 case.
