7 Key Features of Legrand’s Dual-Mount EV Cable Management Pedestal

Tired of tangled cables cluttering your charging stations?

December 2023

With more drivers transitioning to electric vehicles, there is an increasing demand for adequate EV charging infrastructure. Part of this infrastructure demand is the need for effective EV cable management solutions – how EV cables are stored, organized and protected. Too often charging stations lack an efficient cable management system, leaving cables stored improperly or on the ground, causing equipment damage, driver frustration, and tripping hazards.

From Messy to Managed – EV Cable Management Pedestal

At Legrand, we recognize that an organized EV cable management solution is essential to providing a safe and hassle-free charging experience for both EV drivers and charging stations providers. Leaning on our legacy of expertise in power and charging, we developed an innovative, dual-mount EV cable management pedestal that is ideal for commercial applications where multiple drivers need to charge their vehicles at the same time. Designed to house two Legrand networked EV chargers side by side, our pedestal will help you elevate your EV offerings to the next level.

Below, we explore seven key features of our cable management pedestal that will help transform your charging stations from messy to managed.

1. Front-Facing Dual-Mount Design

Do you have multiple EV drivers who need to charge their vehicles at the same time? Not a problem. Our pedestal’s side-by-side mounting plate accommodates two of our networked EV chargers, making the stations easily accessible to more than one user at any time. This front-facing, dual-mount design is perfect for applications such as apartment complexes, hotels and corporate workspaces.

2. Tall Pedestal Base

A short charging cable can be frustrating for many EV drivers, especially when the cable fails to reach the vehicle. Longer cables mitigate this problem, but they create a new challenge for station owners when it comes to keeping the cables off the ground and safely stored when not in use. Our cable management solution solves this problem with a tall pedestal base design that is approximately seven feet high and capable of easily storing the longer 21-foot charging cables. The pedestal keeps the cables organized and off the ground when not in use while enabling station owners to provide a better charging experience with the longer cable lengths.

3. Cord Retractor Assembly

How, exactly, does our pedestal manage to wrangle and organize the long charging cables? The key lies in the pedestal’s innovative cord retractor assembly. The assembly slides the cables for smooth and easy extendibility when the station is in use and then effortlessly retracts and stores the cables in between sessions. With the cord retractors, your charging cables stay off the ground and damage-free while eliminating potential tripping hazards for station users. Replacement retractors are available as needed.

4. Accessible Charger Plug Holders

Replacing damaged charging equipment can be frustrating and expensive. Accessible charger plug holders within our pedestal offer a dual benefit: they safeguard the charging equipment from damage while still making them easily accessible to station users.

5. Easy Access Panel

Charging station installation and maintenance shouldn’t be difficult, including the station’s cable management solution. Our pedestal features and easy access panel that protects the station’s electrical wiring while providing access to ample space for stress-free installation and maintenance.

6. Modular Construction

Your cable management solution should be designed for today and for whatever tomorrow may bring. Our cable management pedestal is a three-piece design that makes for easy replacement of damaged parts as well as having replacement retractors and access panels available for order as needed.

7. Optional New Pour Anchor Kit

Our cable management pedestal is able to accommodate new pour applications. An optional accessory anchor kit with wet concrete L-bolt anchors is available to order separately.
