Cable tensioning systems Stainless steel cable tensioning kits


PHOS cable tensioning sets are slimline cable tensioning systems for curtains and drapes. They replace the traditional curtain rail wherever a delicate, flexible or structurally tailored solution is required. Direct from the manufacturer: We manufacture the system components from solid V2A stainless steel at our workshop in Karlsruhe. The NIRO wire rope (Ø 1.5 mm) guides the fabric smoothly and discreetly through the room. Three variants are available: axial from wall to wall, lateral parallel to the wall or ceiling, and axial-lateral for combined installations. Depending on the version, spans of up to 3, 5 or 10 metres are possible. Corner deflectors enable solutions for corners, bay windows and alcoves. Angle-adjustable wall brackets are suitable for sloping ceilings and walls. Supplied as a ready-to-install set. Made from stainless steel, carefully crafted, with a 10-year guarantee and a lifetime repair service.
100% Made in Germany



Stainless steel cable tensioning systems and cable tensioning kits

Our modern and functional cable tensioning kit can be adapted to suit any room layout. For example, a corner of a room can be accommodated using a corner pulley. And if heavy curtains threaten to sag, they can easily be retightened using a cable tensioner. Even when suspended from the ceiling, custom curtain cable lengths are possible, as are made-to-measure wall distances with lateral ‘side mounting’. Solutions for corners and alcoves are also possible, depending on the variant. Suitable accessories for hanging a curtain, such as cord hooks and a cord clamp, as well as curtain rings, further expand the possibilities.

Stainless steel cable tensioning kits

A complete cable tensioning kit has a modern look and, thanks to the use of numerous functional solutions, can be adapted to a wide variety of room layouts. For example, a corner can be worked around using a corner pulley. And if the cable threatens to sag, it can easily be retensioned using a cable tensioner. This characteristic of stainless steel cables, caused by the elongation of the strands, can be prevented by incorporating our tension rod into the design.
Even when suspended from the ceiling, custom lengths for the cable system are possible, as are wall distances made to measure with lateral ‘side mounting’. Solutions for corners and alcoves are also feasible, depending on the variant. Suitable accessories for hanging a curtain, such as cable hooks and cable clamps, as well as curtain rings, round off the range of options.

Customised solutions for curtain cable systems

We offer robust, high-quality solutions for customised cable tensioning systems. With an angle-adjustable wall bracket, installation on an inclined mounting surface – such as a sloping roof – is very straightforward, even on both sides. All support elements are made from solid material, precision-turned and hand-finished.
A suitable intermediate support for longer cables and greater tensioning distances, e.g. across a window front, can be flexibly mounted and counteracts sagging. And thanks to the combination with a corner pulley, the entire cable tensioning system can be fitted in one or two corners in no time at all. The modern and timeless design complements any curtain and perfectly showcases your living space – regardless of whether you wish to mount it on the wall or ceiling.

Curtain rings and hooks for cable tensioning systems

Stainless steel curtain rings and hooks in a timeless design, designed to complement our modern cable tensioning systems. Depending on the version, they feature integrated scratch protection for smooth, quiet gliding of the curtain. Or simply minimalist and understated – also available in pure stainless steel. And should your much-loved curtain not have eyelets or loops, our special stainless steel rings with clips make it child’s play to attach them, without the need for any alterations to the fabric.

Practical tips – good to know:

Yes, installation is incredibly simple. You will need to drill two holes to screw in the cable holders. Our wire rope systems come with easy-to-follow, illustrated installation instructions. These explain how to drill the holes and how to tension the wire rope. If you have any queries, our service team is at your disposal: 49 (0) 721-530 77 20 / phos@phos.de
No, due to the high tensile force of the wire rope, we do not recommend mounting the rope tensioning system on a RIGIPS wall or a RIGIPS ceiling.
No, due to the high tensile force of the curtain cord, we advise against fitting the cord tensioning system to a suspended ceiling.
Solid walls and solid wooden beams are ideal for the long-term, secure installation of all cable tensioning systems.
Yes, we have angle-adjustable mountings for installation on a sloping wall or ceiling. This means our wire rope systems can be attached to any sloping surface, such as roof slopes.
Yes, you can cut the wire ropes to the desired length on site using a side-cutting pliers. 
  • Tip 1: Wrap the cut end as tightly as possible with strong adhesive tape. This prevents the wire from fraying after cutting.
  • Tip 2: To provide additional protection against fraying, we recommend cutting the rope to length using a good pair of side-cutting pliers. You can order a high-quality, suitable pair of side-cutting pliers from us .
The corner deflector is secured using a wall mounting bracket. This requires an Ø8 mm hole drilled precisely in the corner. The corner deflector is secured using a wall mounting bracket . Installation instructions can be found here >>
Our cable tensioning systems can be installed in sheltered, covered outdoor areas, subject to an assessment of the specific installation conditions. However, we do not recommend them for areas constantly exposed to the elements, in order to prevent corrosion damage and similar issues.
Included are the two cable holders (the tension side and the support side), the wire rope, the fitting materials and easy-to-follow assembly instructions. Optionally, you can also order curtain hooks, intermediate brackets, corner pulleys and side cutters for shortening the cable as well.
PHOS cable tensioning systems are suitable for light curtains or net curtains. It is also possible to hang medium-weight fabrics or curtains made from natural or synthetic fibres. However, in this case, we recommend also fitting an intermediate cable bracket.
For spans of 4 metres or more, we recommend using an intermediate support. Depending on how heavy the curtains or net curtains are, or if you wish to stretch the wire rope over a distance of more than 10 metres, we recommend fitting 2 intermediate supports.
Across its entire width, the rope system can support a load of up to 5 kg. Please note that the more weight you hang from the rope system, the tighter the rope needs to be. To relieve the strain on the rope, we recommend fitting an intermediate support bracket as well. We would be happy to advise you personally and on a case-by-case basis: 49 (0) 721-530 7720 / phos@phos.de
The axial systems each run perpendicular to a wall. The lateral systems can be mounted either on the same wall or on a ceiling. A combination of the two is also possible. For sloping roofs or uneven walls, we have systems with mounting points that can be flexibly adjusted to any angle. For specific planning requirements, please contact our service team: 49 (0) 721-530 7720 / phos@phos.de
Not necessarily, as a curtain can also be threaded directly onto the cord. However, we recommend using curtain rings because this allows the curtain or net curtain to be hung more neatly. For example, if you want to change or wash the curtain. If you use curtain rings, the cable tensioning system does not need to be dismantled to take the curtain down. Another advantage is that the curtain or sheer does not come into direct contact with the wire rope.
Ideally, you should plan for one curtain ring every 10–15 cm along the curtain.
