Smart Cable Management Solutions for Aircraft Ground Power

ElectroAir cable management solutions for smarter ground power

Reliable aircraft power doesn’t end at the GPU, it depends on how safely and efficiently you deploy the cable. ElectroAir’s cable products keep aprons tidy, protect high-value cables from wear, and speed up daily operations. From flexible extenders to rugged mobile reels and fully integrated under-ramp coils, we help airports, MROs, and military bases deliver power the smart way.

EAZ Cable Extender (Zig-zag)

The EAZ Cable Extender is designed for operators who need a practical, compact way to handle power cables in areas where space is limited. Its zig-zag layout allows the cable to extend smoothly during connection and fold back neatly after use, ensuring a tidy apron or hangar floor. By preventing clutter and minimizing trip hazards, the EAZ extender significantly improves safety and operational flow.

Ideal for regional airports and passenger boarding bridge areas, the EAZ extender is built with durability and operator comfort in mind. The galvanized steel frame and weather-resistant design guarantee long service life even under intensive daily use. Operators also benefit from an integrated trolley space for connectors and GPU remotes, making the system highly ergonomic and user-friendly.

EABT Cable Reel (Mobile)

The EABT Cable Reel is a heavy-duty, mobile solution for airports and MROs that require longer cable runs and flexible positioning. Its robust reel mechanism ensures that cables remain neatly wound and protected from wear, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. By keeping cables organized, it improves apron safety and speeds up each turnaround, supporting faster aircraft servicing.

With a solid galvanized steel chassis, IP54 protection, and industrial-grade wheels, the EABT is built to withstand demanding apron conditions, from extreme temperatures to constant repositioning. Despite its strength, it remains operator-friendly, offering stable maneuverability and quick connect/disconnect functionality. This makes it especially valuable for ground crews working in high-traffic zones where efficiency and safety are paramount.

Motorized Under-Ramp Cable Coil

The Motorized Under-Ramp Cable Coil represents the premium end of cable management technology. Installed directly beneath the ramp or integrated into boarding bridges, it automatically dispenses and retracts the power cable at the push of a button. By keeping cables hidden and protected from both weather and ground traffic, it ensures a clean, clutter-free gate area and maximizes equipment lifespan.

Designed for airports that prioritize safety, passenger comfort, and streamlined operations, this system combines reliability with modern automation. Its motorized drum can handle up to 30 meters of 400 Hz cable, while advanced IP-rated protections ensure stable performance in all weather conditions. With a compact enclosure, service life of up to 20 years, and minimal maintenance needs, it is the ultimate long-term solution for airports looking to optimize their infrastructure. In addition, the coil can be integrated with passenger boarding bridges, sending a “cable fully retracted” signal and preventing bridge movement while connected to an aircraft – an extra safeguard for both equipment and ground crews.
