Cable Catch System

Existing windows on building facades are vulnerable to the effects of blasts generated by nearby explosive devices. Under the blast loads, the windows brake and glass fragments and window frame debris are thrown into the building, causing injuries to the inhabitants.

G.G Defense System's unique Retrofit Cable Catcher System for windows enables the protection of existing windows in buildings against the highest blast hazards instigated by terrorist activities.

The G.G. Retrofit Cable Catch System can catch the window as it moves inward under the blast effect and prevent glass fragments and window frame debris from flying into the building.

The unique system comprises Energy Absorbing Modules – that enable the systems to absorb the highest amount of energy transferred to windows in blast attacks by controlled plastic deformation.

The quick installation behind existing windows ensures a high level of protection for the inhabitants of the building.

The Retrofit Cable Catch System for windows is installed a few cm behind existing windows and curtain walls in order to maintain maximum work space.
